  • In multicellular organisms, and more particularly in animals with a well-developed immune system, phagocytosis is mostly performed by specialized, professional phagocytes: macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and neutrophils. (frontiersin.org)
  • In the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), the innate immune response is orchestrated by microglia. (frontiersin.org)
  • However soon after the drug's release in Europe reports linked thalidomide to causing peripheral neuropathy in adult patients (which prevented its licensing and general release in the USA) as well as being behind the occurrence of a high and sudden increase of rare birth defects [ 3 , 5 - 8 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • We will characterize and investigate phenomena during the defects recently observed in our lab at multiple scales: single cell, synchronization between neighbor cells, large-scale wave patterns and mechanics of the tissue. (epfl.ch)
  • This multi-cellular clock governs the rhythmic, sequential, and precise formation of embryonic body segments, termed somites, and exhibits a rich set of spatial and temporal phenomena spanning from molecular to tissue scales. (epfl.ch)
  • Overall, phagocytosis is considered a beneficial phenomenon, since it eliminates dead cells and induces an anti-inflammatory response. (frontiersin.org)
  • Males mutant for retn court with normal parameters, although feminization of retn cells in males induces bisexuality. (sdbonline.org)
  • gem homozygous receptor mutant HCs display normal cell viability, afferent synaptogenesis, and peripheral innervation, yet exhibit strongly reduced extracellular potentials (∼50% of wild-type potentials). (jneurosci.org)
  • Cell biology of phagocytosis has been mainly established on bone marrow-derived tissue macrophages. (frontiersin.org)

  • In particular, scientific developments in areas such as iPS cells open new possibilities of research and, at mid term, of therapeutic applications, but they also bring new ethical challenges and problems requiring further reflection and debate. (lifeissues.net)
  • He notes that biotech defenders claim the benefits of therapeutic cell-cloning are imminent while the possible horrors of radically altering the human gene code (or "eugenics," as Cohen puts it) remain far off. (acsh.org)
  • Based on his experiments with human cadaveric pancreata, van der Kooy holds theorizes that there exists an adult stem cell in the pancreas. (wikipedia.org)

  • Indeed, research shows that transfecting some cell types with any plasmid may cause cell death [ 1 ], while some transfection reagents (e.g., lipids) used for plasmid transfection are themselves toxic to cells [ 2 ]. (idtdna.com)
  • Half a century ago, it was found by John Gurdon that this developmental clock can be reversed, and that differentiated somatic cells in a frog model could regain their pluripotency or totipotency. (shawprize.org)
  • However, in earlier studies, clonal analysis was restricted by the lack of a cell marker, present at all times, that makes a distinction between the two parental cell types in situ. (asu.edu)
  • Particularly, yolk sac-derived macrophages including microglia may possibly have different tasks since they are confronted with different target structures, mainly apoptotic cells during developmental tissue remodeling, while bone marrow-derived macrophages have a higher chance to be confronted with pathogens, mainly during defense against invading microbes. (frontiersin.org)
  • Attempts were then made to show that mammalian cells - and human cells in particular - could also be reprogrammed back to a pluripotent state, because it is believed that such knowledge may advance our understanding of developmental mechanisms, and yield new approaches for disease treatment.
