Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) remain of great interest in regenerative medicine because of their ability to home to sites of injury, differentiate into a variety of relevant lineages, and modulate inflammation and angiogenesis through paracrine activity. Many studies have found
The dismal prognosis of glioblastoma is attributed in part to the existence of stem-like brain tumor-initiating cells (BTICs) that are highly radio- and chemo-resistant. New approaches such as therapies that reprogram compromised immune cells against BTICs are needed. Effective immunotherapies

Urodele amphibians (Ambystoma mexicanum), unique among vertebrates, can regenerate appendages and other body parts entirely and functionally through a scar-free healing process. The wound epithelium covering the amputated or damaged site forms early and is essential for initiating the subsequent

To investigate the effect of Tenascin C (TNC) on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in human cardiac myofibroblasts (CMF). CMF were isolated and cultured from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Cultured cells were treated with either

Tenascin-C (TNC) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein expressed in response to inflammation and tissue damage. The role of TNC in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is not well understood. In this study, we analyzed the expression of TNC in
This page covers the ECM coating protocols developed for four types of ECMs on Millicell®-CM inserts, Collagen Type 1, Fibronectin, Laminin, and Matrigel.
