Modelling non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in human hepatocyte-like cells

Jul 5, 2018 - Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of liver disease in developed countries. An in vitro NAFLD model would permit mechanistic studies and enable high-throughput therapeutic screening. While hepatic cancer-derived cell

Peto's paradox and human cancers

Jul 19, 2015 - Peto's paradox is the lack of the expected trend in cancer incidence as a function of body size and lifespan across species. The leading hypothesis to explain this pattern is natural selection for differential cancer prevention in larger, longer

The hierarchical structure and mechanics of plant materials

Nov 7, 2012 - The cell walls in plants are made up of just four basic building blocks: cellulose (the main structural fibre of the plant kingdom) hemicellulose, lignin and pectin. Although the microstructure of plant cell walls varies in different types of plants,

Cuticular reticulation replicates the pattern of epidermal cells in lowermost Cambrian scalidophoran worms

May 13, 2020 - The cuticle of ecdysozoans (Panarthropoda, Scalidophora, Nematoida) is secreted by underlying epidermal cells and renewed via ecdysis. We explore here the relationship between epidermis and external cuticular ornament in stem-group scalidophorans

Dose and duration of interferon γ pre-licensing interact with donor characteristics to influence the expression and…

Jun 24, 2020 - Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a leading cell therapy candidate for the treatment of immune and inflammatory diseases due to their potent regulation of immune cells. MSC expression of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) upon interferon γ
