  • The TMDU-led research team set out to investigate the effects of low oxygen conditions within the neural stem cell niche using a cell culture model of NSPCs isolated from the forebrains of embryonic mice. (news-medical.net)
  • We used conjugated polymers to develop a novel neural stem cell culture substrate with anchored growth factors to promote cell self-renewal. (5dok.org)
  • MatTek's NHCE cells are characterized by their cobblestone morphology and positive expression of cytokeratin 3/12, cytokeratin 15 and aldehyde dehydrogenase 3A1. (mattek.co.kr)
  • In pathological conditions, damaged cells transfer dysfunctional mitochondria toward recipient cells to ask for help and take up exogenous functional mitochondria to alleviate injury. (frontiersin.org)
  • Carcinogenesis is introduced through a localized event (a spot of depolarized cells) or by random depolarization of cells in the tissue, which returns cells to their initial proliferative state. (nature.com)
  • This simplified model of embryogenesis, tissue organization and carcinogenesis, based on non-excitable cells' bioelectric properties, can be made more realistic with the introduction of other components, like biochemical fields and mechanical interactions, which are fundamental for a more faithful representation of reality. (nature.com)
  • Our experimental approaches involve mouse genetics, single cell genomics, organoid culture, lung slice culture, and we perform histological analysis of lung tissue using advanced fluorescence microscopy technologies. (stanford.edu)
  • Use of feeder layers requires two cell types to be maintained in parallel and introduces mouse proteins into the culture system. (ddw-online.com)
  • Although this approach eliminates the need for feeder layers, the system still contains undefined animal proteins, as well as possible contaminants. (ddw-online.com)
  • Clinical manifestations of PNH occur when a HSC clone carrying somatic PIGA mutations acquires a growth advantage and differentiates, generating mature blood cells that are deficient of GPI-anchored proteins. (medscape.com)
  • This classification was abandoned because of the observation that surface proteins were missing not only in the RBC membrane but also in all blood cells, including the platelet and white cells. (medscape.com)
  • The common denominator in the disease, a biochemical defect, appears to be a genetic mutation leading to the inability to synthesize the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor that binds these proteins to cell membranes. (medscape.com)
  • The absence of these regulating proteins results in uncontrolled amplification of the complement system. (medscape.com)
  • We have therefore investigated the role of matrix stiffness in Notch signaling in breast cancer cells. (5dok.org)
  • Recognition of the vast number of undifferentiated cells associated with the stromal vascular fraction has resulted in extensive research demonstrating the heterogeneity of such cells, and their ability to participate in production of all mesodermal-derived tissues. (journalofprolotherapy.com)
  • We attempted to isolate bat CoVs and virus RNA from cell cultures and from Leschenault rousette bats ( Rousettus leschenaulti ) orally infected with intestinal tissues and contents from a lesser dog-faced fruit bat ( Cynopterus brachyotis ). (cdc.gov)
  • All tissues originate from stem cells. (bvsalud.org)
  • Diabetes mellitus (DM)-induced endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) dysfunction causes impaired wound healing, which can be rescued by delivery of large numbers of 'normal' EPCs onto such wounds. (sciencecentral.in)
