  • We investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibodies and T-cell responses against SARS-CoV-2 and human coronavirus (HCoV) 229E and OC43 in 11 SARS-CoV-2 serodiscordant couples in Strasbourg, France, in which 1 partner had evidence of mild coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and in 10 unexposed healthy controls.

  • In hematological malignancies, tumor-derived EVs might reprogram the bone marrow environment, suppress antileukemic immunity, mediate drug resistance and interfere with immunotherapies. (nature.com)
  • In the 1970s, Friedenstein and colleagues [1] first reported that locally applied culture-expanded populations of bone marrow stroma-derived fibroblastic cells remained at their injection sites under the kidney capsule, where an ectopic hematopoiesis was initiated. (issca.us)
  • Pivotal studies by the group of Horwitz in children with osteogenesis imperfecta, an inherited enzyme deficiency of collagen synthesis by mesenchymal cells in bone, opened the field for intravenous use of MSCs. (issca.us)
  • Engraftment of donor-type MSC-derived osteoblasts was shown using bone specimens and microsatellite DNA marker analysis. (issca.us)
  • On the other hand, the number of circulating hEPC is increased in hypoxia or acute myocardial infarction (AMI). (intechopen.com)
  • Changes in the concentration and/or composition of circulating Mps have been described in various autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) systemic sclerosis (SSc) and SLE. (bmj.com)
  • Rates of complete remission (CR), prognosis and survival depend on the grade of anemia, thrombocytopenia, white blood cell expansion and karyotypes. (nature.com)
  • hEPCs have been used for cell-based therapies due to their capacity to contribute in the re-endothelialization of injured blood vessels and neovascularization in ischemic tissues. (intechopen.com)
  • Blood collection is easy and minimally invasive, yet reproducible procedures to obtain pure EV samples from circulating biofluids are still lacking. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Here, we detail and model a blood separation principle which exploits discrete viscosity differences caused by blood particle sedimentation in a laminar flow. (researchgate.net)
  • It is measured as the ratio of coronary blood flow at its maximum during adenosine infusion to when at rest. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Abnormal adhesion of red blood cells in polycythemia vera: a prothrombotic effect? (labex-grex.com)
  • however, the cells were trackable in blood only. (issca.us)
  • There is an increased level of PMVs in the circulating blood of G6PD deficient individuals as compared to G6PD normal individuals. (symbiosisonlinepublishing.com)
  • Red blood cells (RBCs) require constant energy to maintain their biconcave disc shape and haemoglobin in reduced form [1]. (symbiosisonlinepublishing.com)
