Thymic epithelial cells

Paola Bonfanti

As primary lymphoid organ, the thymus provides the essential environment for maturation and selection of functional T lymphocytes. Thymic epithelial (TE) cells derive from the endoderm, and more specifically, from the third pharyngeal pouch. The thymic epi ...

Stem cells and the stem cell niche in the breast: an integrated hormonal and developmental perspective

Cathrin Brisken

The mammary gland is a unique organ in that it undergoes most of its development after birth under the control of systemic hormones. Whereas in most other organs stem cells divide in response to local stimuli, to replace lost cells, in the mammary gland la ...

Molecular characterization of melanocyte stem cells in their niche

Friedrich Beermann

Emerging evidence from stem cell (SC) research has strengthened the idea that SC fate is determined by a specialized environment, known as the SC niche. However, because of the difficulty of identifying individual stem cells and their surrounding component ...

New aspects of Wnt signaling pathways in higher vertebrates

The development of tissues and organs in embryos is controlled by an interplay of several signaling pathways that cross-talk to provide positional information and induce cell fate specification. One of the major signaling systems is the Wnt pathway which w ...

Cell-Imprint Surface Modification by Contact Photolithography-Based Approaches: Direct-Cell Photolithography and Optical Soft Lithography Using PDMS Cell Imprints

Philippe Renaud, Harald Van Lintel, Shahin Bonakdar, Hanie Kavand

New cell-imprint surface modification techni- ques based on direct-cell photolithography and optical soft lithography using poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) cell imprints are presented for enhanced cell-based studies. The core concept of engineering materials ...
