Regenerative medicine aims to replace or regenerate tissues or organs to re-establish their normal function. In 1975, Rheinwald and Green developed a technique to isolate and amplify epidermal stem cells. Their discovery led to the development of cultured ...
Functional analysis of primary tissue-specific stem cells is hampered by their rarity. Here I developed greatly miniaturized microfluidic devices for the multiplexed, quantitative analysis of the chemotactic properties of primary, bone marrow-derived mesen ...
Down syndrome (DS) or trisomy 21 is the most frequent genetic cause of intellectual disability in children and adults. Although numerous studies have shown that cognitive impairment possibly arises from dysfunction of the hippocampal circuit, there has bee ...
Midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons degenerate in Parkinson’s disease and are one of the main targets for cell replacement therapies. However, a comprehensive view of the signals and cell types contributing to mDA neurogenesis is not yet available. By anal ...
Functional analysis of primary tissue-specific stem cells is hampered by their rarity. Here we describe a greatly miniaturized microfluidic device for the multiplexed, quantitative analysis of the chemotactic properties of primary, bone marrow-derived mese ...
Stem cells play a key role in a wide range of biological processes, in large part due to their ability to self-renew or differentiate into specialized cell types in response to various biological cues. In vivo, stem cells reside in a complex microenvironme ...
The present invention relates to a method for preparing induced hepatic progenitor cells (iHPC) comprising the steps of dedifferentiation of hepatocytes by culture with a culture medium comprising at least one activator of the Wnt signaling, Basic fibrobla ...
The need for indium droplets to initiate self-catalyzed growth of InAs nanowires has been highly debated in the last few years. Here, we report on the use of indium droplets to tune the growth direction of self-catalyzed InAs nanowires. The indium droplets ...
Multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa has increased progressively and impedes further regression in mortality in burn patients. Such wound infections serve as bacterial reservoir for nosocomial infections and are associated with signi cant morbidity ...
The application of stem cells in drug screening and regenerative therapy has led to important advances in basic biology and biomedicine. Such strategies require high cell numbers and the efficient maturation into faithful functional organ or tissue units. ...
