  • These particles could be tailored to help treat heart disease or to boost the yield of stem cells in patients who need stem cell transplants, Penn Engineering Today wrote. (davidicke.com)
  • A particular stem cell type in the adult human-being is the 'Mesenchymal stem cell' (MSC). (europa.eu)
  • At present the research community is progressing towards this goal one stem cell population at a time, but it seems plausible that some discoveries will be broadly applicable to all stem cells in the adult body. (fightaging.org)
  • haematopoietic) is the medical term used to describe the process by which our blood cells are formed, develop and mature into their final "adult" types. (davidicke.com)
  • Some adult stem cell niches have already been described, but the majority of them remain unclear, including the dental pulp stem cell niches. (bvsalud.org)
  • Also making up a part of the hematopoietic system are short-term repopulating progenitor cells, which give rise to lineage-specific cell types. (stemcell.com)
  • Criteria for diagnosis of MDS consist of anemia, thrombocytopenia, or neutropenia that persist for six months or longer, dysplasia greater than 10% in at least one bone marrow cell lineage, and MDS associated clonal cytogenetic abnormalities or molecular markers. (standardofcare.com)
  • The nature of the stem cell substates and their relationship to commitment to differ- entiate and lineage selection can be elucidated in terms of a landscape picture in which stable states can be defined mathematically as attractors. (lu.se)
  • This requirement strongly limits the number of solutions or entiation and lineage-specification, programmed cell death, and ``states'' for the system. (lu.se)
  • 2008). Historically, this concept is highlighted by the experi- factors are key intrinsic regulators of these fate decisions and mental phenomenon of lineage reprogramming, for example, that fate choice involves modulating networks of transcription by the conversion of fibroblasts to muscles cells following trans- factors.

  • In addition, it is still unclear when and how the fate of HSPC niche-constituting ECs is determined. (go.jp)
  • The interplay between benzene and stem cells is complex involving the stem cell, progenitor, and HSC niche compartments of the bone marrow. (cdc.gov)
  • As the dosage of Pfizer's injection increased, the growth of stem cells was inhibited. (davidicke.com)
  • The etiology of bone marrow failure (BMF) includes defective stem/progenitor cells and/or stroma/accessory cells/growth factors, as well as deficient nonspecific nutrients or, as in the case of acquired aplastic anemia, immune-mediated abnormalities. (medscape.com)

  • Like all stem cell populations, they become increasingly dysfunctional with age , however. (fightaging.org)
  • Notch receptors and Notch ligands were detected in virtually all cells throughout EB development. (karger.com)
  • Notch1 and Notch 2, but not Notch4, were visualized in the nucleus of EB cells, and all these receptors were also observed as patent cytoplasmic foci. (karger.com)
  • Like stem cells, progenitor cells have a capacity to differentiate into a specific type of cell. (phys.org)
  • In contrast to stem cells, however, they are already far more specific: they are pushed to differentiate into their "target" cell. (phys.org)
  • Dental pulp stem cells have been isolated from deciduous and permanent teeth and have the potential to self-renew and differentiate. (bvsalud.org)
  • RNA interference is a gene therapy that could potentially be used to "treat a variety of diseases" by delivering short strands of RNA that block specific genes from being turned on in a cell. (davidicke.com)
  • In reality, gene somatic cells to a pluripotent cell state by a handful of transcrip- expression is graded, making the potential gene expression tion factors (Takahashi and Yamanaka, 2006). (lu.se)

  • Therefore, we exposed human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived ECs (iPSC-ECs) as two relevant EC models in a side-by-side comparison to static and physiological dynamic (6.6 dyn cm-2) culture conditions. (bvsalud.org)
