  • We sought to determine the effect of targeting stromal PDGFRα in preclinical lung tumor xenograft models (human tumor, mouse stroma). (elsevierpure.com)
  • We further demonstrated successful examples of multiple targeting including chromosomal deletions in human cells using the all-in-one CRISPR/Cas9 vectors constructed with our novel system. (nature.com)
  • Similarly, CD34+ cells can be identified in human scar tissue, suggesting that these cells may contribute to tissue remodelling and repair [ 5 ]. (ersjournals.com)

  • Full-face sections from 136 TNBC cases without neoadjuvant therapy between 2004 and 2013 were stained and evaluated for immune cell PD-1 staining and stromal or tumoral PD-L1 staining using the H-score (staining percentage × intensity). (nih.gov)
  • TLRs are abundant receptors implicated in many functions, however they are mostly studied in the immune system. (weizmann.ac.il)
  • TLRs are expressed on immune cells, where they recognize pathogenic patterns. (weizmann.ac.il)
  • The immune cell markers CD4, FOXP3 and CD68 were also stained and quantified. (jcancer.org)
