Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by ...

This study presents important findings on the role of CXXC-finger protein 1 in regulatory T cell gene regulation and function. The evidence supporting the authors' claims is solid, with mostly ...

We have all experienced the futility of last-minute cramming before tests. In this study, the scientists simulated the process of spaced learning by examining two types of non-brain human cells — one ...

Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) patient tumor specimens are readily accessible and established gold standard for ...

Tanmay Lele, joint faculty in chemical engineering, and chemical engineering Ph.D candidate Ting-Ching Wang proves that the mechanical stiffness of tissue can alter the fate of tumor cell populations.

Incorrect cell positioning is a big reason most 3D bioprinters fail to produce structures that accurately represent human tissue. "Just as a car requires its mechanical components to be arranged ...

In the Nature Communications research, the scientists replicated learning over time by studying two types of non-brain human cells in a laboratory (one from nerve tissue and one from kidney tissue) ...

One major obstacle in growing tissue for medical use or artificial meat is ensuring oxygen delivery to densely packed cells. As Matsunaga explained, “when cells become multilayered, the interior of ...

With the introduction of fiber-optic technology in ... meaning that nearly 88.6% of sampled tissues were healthy, posing unnecessary procedural risks. This review critically examines traditional ...

Researchers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Italy have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial ...
