AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Most mammary gland development occurs after birth under the control of systemic hormones. Estrogens induce mammary epithelial cell proliferation during puberty via epithelial estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) by a paracrine mechanism. Epidermal growth fact ...
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 ...
The mammary gland development is regulated by steroid and peptide hormones and occurs mainly after birth, compared to the majority of the other organs in the body. The principal hormones responsible for the breast development are the estrogen, the progeste ...
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key developmental program that is often activated during cancer invasion and metastasis. We here report that the induction of an EMT in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells (HMLEs) results in the acqu ...
This unit describes a protocol for the isolation of cells from murine embryonic stem cells with hematopoietic stem cell activity, defined by the ability to reconstitute, long term, multiple lineages of the hematopoietic system of lethally irradiated mice. ...
Continuous turnover of epithelia is ensured by the extensive self-renewal capacity of tissue-specific stem cells. Similarly, epithelial tumour maintenance relies on cancer stem cells (CSCs), which co-opt stem cell properties. For most tumours, the cellular ...
Most tissue engineering approaches include the delivery of reparative cells to a damaged host tissue. Generally these cells are sought to be of a stem cell character since they retain a high potential for proliferation and differentiation into diverse phen ...
Cripto is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored co-receptor of Nodal and several other transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family ligands. It contains an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like motif and a Cripto-FRL1-Cryptic (CFC) domain, which ...
Adult stem cells reside in a specialized microenvironment, the niche, which controls their behavior. As mammary stem cells, and consequently their niches, are still poorly defined, we look at better-characterized adult mammalian stem cell niches in the hem ...
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 ...
