  • Prognostic, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Potential of Endothelial Progenitor Cells for Patients with Ischaemic Stroke: hype or hope BIOCELL. (nottingham.ac.uk)
  • However, microglial activation and dysfunction has been implicated in a number of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, thus developing tools to manipulate and replace these myeloid cells in CNS is of therapeutic interest. (scite.ai)
  • Within skin, Merkel cells have also been shown to cluster in the basal layers of the interfollicular epidermis in specialized epithelial structures called touch domes, where they are juxtaposed with epidermal keratinocytes. (medscape.com)
  • Canonical NF-κB pathway activation underlines much of the immune response after SCI including cytokine, chemokine, and apoptosis-related factor production as well as immune cell activation and infiltration. (biomedcentral.com)
  • There is a signal crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis, which may be regulated to produce synergistic effect on the preconditioning of stem cells. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Neural rosettes refer to radially organized cellular structures. (creative-biolabs.com)
  • This research program will use organoid technology combined with cutting-edge transcriptomics techniques to understand the cellular processes driving neural tube elongation. (edu.au)
  • Thus, it has been argued that the observed bivalency simply reflects cellular heterogeneity arising from the averaging of cells that carry either, but not both, marks at a given locus (Fig. 2). (researchgate.net)
  • To track glial cell types and characterize cell growth during early development, Dr. Zhu developed several GEM models, which target NF1 loss into the local astrocyte lineage, and/or migrating GPs. (health.mil)
  • It is the developmental characteristic of neural progenitor cells in differentiated embryonic stem cell cultures. (creative-biolabs.com)
  • Even as they secrete neuropeptides, Merkel cells additionally express intermediate filaments characteristic of primitive and simple epithelia such as cytokeratin (CK) 8, CK18, and CK20. (medscape.com)
