Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
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.
Muscle degenerative disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, have a profound impact on the quality of life and survival of patients. Transplantation of myoblasts to restore muscle function has been discouraging since these cells die and don't migrat ...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a population of multipotent cells that can differentiate into various lineages such as fibroblast, osteoblast, chondrocyte and adipocyte and can be maintained over extended periods in vitro. They are also known to have a su ...
We describe herein some immunological properties of human fetal bone cells recently tested for bone tissue engineering applications. Adult mesenchymal stem cells and adult osteoblasts were included in the study for comparison. Surface markers involved in b ...
Stem cells are characterized by their dual ability to reproduce themselves (self-renew) and specialize (differentiate), yielding essentially unlimited numbers of daughter cells that can maintain and regenerate tissues. In contrast to their embryonic counte ...
Cell therapy for nucleus pulposus regeneration is an attractive treatment for early disc degeneration as shown by studies using autologous nucleus pulposus cells or stem cells. Another potential source of cells is fetal cells. We investigated the feasibili ...
In the domain of regenerative medicine research there are many fronts aimed at increasing our understanding of induced pluripotent, embryonic and adult stem cells. Recently a new front has appeared, stem cell niches, the microenvironment that is a crucial ...
Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is thought to be one main factor in the development of back pain. It is not a symptom by itself but can lead to painful pathological conditions. Current treatments aim at relieving pain by conservative care, me ...
Microwell arrays have emerged as robust and versatile alternatives to conventional mammalian cell culture substrates. Using standard microfabrication processes, biomaterials surfaces can be topographically patterned to comprise high-density arrays of micro ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The last years of cancer research have established the concept of cancer stem cells (CSCs) as a subpopulation of cells within a tumor entirely responsible for tumorigenesis. This has aroused expectations that targeting cancer stem cells ...
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are powerful tools to understand mechanisms of neuronal differentiation and to engineer neurons for in vitro studies and cell therapy. We developed a screening approach to identify small organic molecules driving neuronal differen ...
