Investigation of early cell–surface interactions of human mesenchymal stem cells on nanopatterned β-type…

Feb 6, 2014 - Multi-potent adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow have therapeutic potential for bone diseases and regenerative medicine. However, an intrinsic heterogeneity in their phenotype, which in turn results in various

Growth, homeostatic regulation and stem cell dynamics in tissues

Apr 6, 2014 - The regulation of cell growth in animal tissues is a question of critical importance: most tissues contain different types of cells in interconversion and the fraction of each type has to be controlled in a precise way, by mechanisms that remain

Innate immunity in stem cell-derived hepatocytes

Jul 5, 2018 - Stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) offer great opportunities for studies of host–pathogen interactions and tissue regeneration, as well as hepatotoxicity. To reliably predict the outcome of infection or to enhance graft survival, a

Epigenetic mechanisms regulating fate specification of neural stem cells

Mar 28, 2008 - Neural stem cells (NSCs) possess the ability to self-renew and to differentiate along neuronal and glial lineages. These processes are defined by the dynamic interplay between extracellular cues including cytokine signalling and intracellular

Three-dimensional imaging of human stem cells using soft X-ray tomography

Jul 6, 2015 - Three-dimensional imaging of human stem cells using transmission soft X-ray tomography (SXT) is presented for the first time. Major organelle types—nuclei, nucleoli, mitochondria, lysosomes and vesicles—were discriminated at approximately 50 nm

Measurement of oxygen tension within mesenchymal stem cell spheroids

Feb 28, 2017 - Spheroids formed of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit increased cell survival and trophic factor secretion compared with dissociated MSCs, making them therapeutically advantageous for cell therapy. Presently, there is no…

Wound healing in the liver with particular reference to stem cells

Jun 29, 1998 - The efficiency of liver regeneration in response to the loss of hepatocytes is widely acknowledged, and this is usually accomplished by the triggering of normally proliferatively quiescent hepatocytes into the cell cycle. However, when regeneration

Modelling familial dysautonomia in human induced pluripotent stem cells

Aug 12, 2011 - Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have considerable promise as a novel tool for modelling human disease and for drug discovery. While the generation of disease-specific iPS cells has become routine, realizing the potential of iPS…

Induced pluripotent stem cells: opportunities and challenges

Aug 12, 2011 - Somatic cells have been reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells by introducing a combination of several transcription factors, such as Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from a…
