Extracellular matrix components in peripheral nerve repair: how to affect neural cellular response and nerve regeneration?
Stéphanie Lacour, Alba Carla De Luca
Peripheral nerve injury is a serious problem affecting significantly patients' life. Autografts are the "gold standard" used to repair the injury gap, however, only 50% of patients fully recover from the trauma. Artificial conduits are a valid alternative ...
Shenyang Editorial Dept Neural Regeneration Res2014Regulation of myofibroblast activities: Calcium pulls some strings behind the scene
Boris Hinz, Lysianne Follonier Castella
Myofibroblast-induced remodeling of collagenous extracellular matrix is a key component of our body's strategy to rapidly and efficiently repair damaged tissues; thus myofibroblast activity is considered crucial in assuring the mechanical integrity of vita ...
Elsevier2010Coordination of Myofibroblast Contraction in Vitro
The aim of this thesis is to elucidate the common mechanisms that regulate myofibroblast contraction and intercellular communication, with a particular focus on the role of Ca2+ signalling. Synthesis and remodelling of collagenous matrix by myofibroblasts ...
EPFL2010Occurrence of microcystin-producing cyanobacteria in Ugandan freshwater habitats
Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic heptapeptides, which are the most abundant toxins produced by cyanobacteria in freshwater. The phytoplankton of many freshwater lakes in Eastern Africa is dominated by cyanobacteria. Less is known, however, on the occurrence o ...
