  • Daily treatment of tumor-bearing mice for 5 to 6 weeks with the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib markedly shrunk tumors and generated DTPs, which were analyzed by whole exome, bulk population transcriptome, and single-cell RNA sequencing. (bvsalud.org)
  • The capacity of LSECs as scavengers of blood borne waste assigns an important role of these cells in innate immunity. (wikipedia.org)
  • Until today the activity of such substances had to be tested in animal models because of complex interactions between endothelial cells, coagulation and innate immunity. (forschung3r.ch)
  • Recurrence is mainly driven by minor subpopulations of drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells that survive the cytotoxic drug effect. (bvsalud.org)
  • LFA-1 also plays a role of cytotoxic killing by T cells. (medscape.com)
  • The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded for discoveries which are of fundamental importance for our understanding of the mechanisms which regulate cell and organ growth. (nobelprize.org)
  • The overarching question the team is trying to answer is whether chaotic fluid flow in a diseased organ alters cell behaviour. (edu.au)
  • After implantation into the critical-sized calvarial defects of mice, the mechanically conditioned cell sheets significantly promoted new bone formation. (researchgate.net)
  • However, comparison of patients with PDR with controls revealed that the plasma levels of LRP6 were not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.636). (molvis.org)
  • In this study, single-cell RNA-sequencing analyses show that islet1 + -derived ECs express a set of genes that reflects their unique origin even as they become heterogeneous. (go.jp)
  • Computational analysis unveiled a hitherto unknown role for ACVRL1 in relation to genes modulating the functionality of the immune cell compartment. (lu.se)
  • We propose that blood carries an as yet unknown "inflammatory potential" consisting of modified proteins or other biomolecules and reaction byproducts that affects a pathological bioactivity which can be assessed using endothelial cells as biosensors. (cdc.gov)
  • The next step would be to investigate which proteins are secreted from pericytes and endothelial cells in α-synuclein mouse models. (lu.se)
  • Flavoring chemicals widely used in e-cigarettes and other tobacco products may be toxic to the cells that line and regulate blood vessel function. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Researchers found all nine flavors were dangerous to cells in the laboratory at the highest levels tested and all the flavorings impaired nitric oxide production in endothelial cells in culture (outside of the body). (sciencedaily.com)
  • Researchers found that both groups of smokers had a similar deficit in nitric oxide production when stimulated by a chemical called A23187. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Nonsmokers' cells that were treated with menthol or a clove flavoring also had impaired nitric oxide production, suggesting those flavorings cause damage like that found in active smokers. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Menthol applied to the cells increased IL-6 at high concentrations and reduced nitric oxide even at low doses. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Inflammatory right pleural effusion with mesothelial cells in 2015. (scirp.org)
  • Researchers identify the origin of endothelial cells that constitute the vascular niche for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in zebrafish. (go.jp)
  • Endothelial cells (ECs) line blood vessels and can serve as specialized vascular niches for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), a special environment where HSPCs reside and self-renew. (go.jp)
  • However, since 2009 Associate Professor Currie's interests have expanded to include the contribution to tumour progression made by tumour infiltrating immune cell populations, breast cancer stem cell-like populations, and obesity-related factors. (otago.ac.nz)
  • At present, with the in-depth understanding of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and the increase of research, it has become the focus of medical research [ 6 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Therefore, EPCs may serve as potential seed cells for new approaches to biological treatment of LEDVT. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Together, our study provides several lines of evidence supporting the intriguing concept that every cell type expresses precise lncRNA signatures to control lineage-specific regulatory programs. (nature.com)
  • Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in oxLDL‑induced endothelial permeability and monocyte diapedesis under HG conditions, in addition to the potential effects of rosmarinic acid. (spandidos-publications.com)
  • The study detected with 90% power a difference in cell loss of approximately 10% or more. (nih.gov)
  • Also, the study gauged just the flavorings' short-term effects and captured these with cells outside the body, not inside. (sciencedaily.com)
  • A study published in Scientific Reports identifies pericytes as potential target cells for early interventions. (lu.se)
