    Cell replacement therapy in neurological disease

    Jul 31, 2006 - Diseases of the brain and spinal cord represent especially daunting challenges for cell-based strategies of repair, given the multiplicity of cell types within the adult central nervous system, and the precision with which they must interact in both

    Nucleosome remodelling, DNA repair and transcriptional regulation build negative feedback loops in cancer and cellular…

    Oct 5, 2017 - Nucleosome remodelling (NR) regulates transcription in an ATP-dependent manner, and influences gene expression required for development and cellular functions, including those involved in anti-cancer and anti-ageing processes. ATP-utilizing

    Transdifferentiation of autologous bone marrow cells on a collagen-poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffold for tissue engineering …

    Jul 6, 2014 - Urological reconstructive surgery is sometimes hampered by a lack of tissue. In some cases, autologous urothelial cells (UCs) are not available for cell expansion and ordinary tissue engineering. In these cases, we wanted to explore whether

    Not like Botryllus: indiscriminate post–metamorphic fusion in a compound ascidian

    Feb 7, 1999 - Fusion trials between metamorphs of the aplousobranch compound ascidian Diplosoma listerianum indicated that chimera formation was not dependent on relatedness. Similar, high rates of union were observed between full siblings, half siblings,

    Spatial protein analysis in developing tissues: a sampling-based image processing approach

    Oct 12, 2020 - Advances in fluorescence microscopy approaches have made it relatively easy to generate multi-dimensional image volumes and have highlighted the need for flexible image analysis tools for the extraction of quantitative information from such data.

    Harnessing hypoxia as an evolutionary driver of complex multicellularity

    Aug 6, 2020 - Animal tissue requires low-oxygen conditions for its maintenance. The need for low-oxygen conditions contrasts with the idea of an evolutionary leap in animal diversity as a result of expanding oxic conditions. To accommodate tissue renewal at oxic

    Direct somatic lineage conversion

    Oct 19, 2015 - The predominant view of embryonic development and cell differentiation has been that rigid and even irreversible epigenetic marks are laid down along the path of cell specialization ensuring the proper silencing of unrelated lineage programmes. This

    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,
