Stem cell use in bladder tissue engineering is a recently addressed area of investigation that has generated excitement as a novel way to restore and regenerate lost or damaged urinary bladder tissue. The remodelling of smooth muscle plays a significant ro ...
Hydrophilic nanocarriers, formed by electrostatic interaction between their oppositely charged components, are recognized as nanomaterials with an enormous potential as vectors in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. However, comprehensive informati ...
The aim of this study was to culture human fetal bone cells (dedicated cell banks of fetal bone derived from 14 week gestation femurs) within both hyaluronic acid gel and collagen foam, to compare the biocompatibility of both matrices as potential delivery ...
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are probably the best understood somatic stem cells and often serve as a paradigm for other stem cells. Nevertheless, most current techniques to genetically manipulate them in vivo are either constitutive, and/or induced in s ...
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia undergo rapid activation in response to even minor pathological changes in the CNS. The activation state of microglia and tissue macrophages is characterized by two extr ...
The early establishment of a reservoir of latently infected T cells is a sobering obstacle to HIV eradication, in spite of the efficacy of current antiretroviral therapies. That latent proviruses might also hide in multipotent hematopoietic stem cells sugg ...
Neurons and glia in the central nervous system originate from neural stem and progenitor cells that reside in the ventricular zones. Here we examine the role of beta-catenin in neural stem cell (NSC) regulation in mouse embryos lacking beta-catenin specifi ...
This project aimed to develop an improved positive-negative selection system for potential use in basic research and clinical applications. The NTR-CB1954 system was chosen, where introduced expression of the E. Coli derived gene product nitroreductase (NT ...
Recent advances in nanotechnology led to the development of various nanostructures especially that of carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) for industrial and biomedical uses. As a result, the production as well as the human exposure to these materials will in ...
