Cell Reprogramming, IPS Limitations, and Overcoming Strategies in Dental Bioengineering
(SAGE-Hindawi Access to Research, 2012-03-29)
The procurement of induced pluripotent stem cells, or IPS cells, from adult differentiated animal cells has the potential to revolutionize future medicine, where reprogrammed IPS cells may be used to repair disease-affected ...
Vascular endothelial growth factor regulates melanoma cell adhesion and growth in the bone marrow microenvironment via tumor cyclooxygenase-2
(BioMed Central, 2011-08)
Background: Human melanoma frequently colonizes bone marrow (BM) since its earliest stage of systemic dissemination, prior to clinical metastasis occurrence. However, how melanoma cell adhesion and proliferation mechanisms ...
Dexamethasone Protects Retinal Ganglion Cells But Not Muller Glia Against Hyperglycemia In Vitro
(Public Library Science, 2018-11-26)
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes, for which hyperglycemia is a major etiological factor. It is known that retinal glia (Muller cells) and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are affected by diabetes, ...
Effect of Hypoxia on the Retina and Superior Colliculus of Neonatal Pigs
(Public LIbrary Science, 2017-04-13)
Purpose
To evaluate the effect of hypoxia on the neonatal pig retina and brain, we analysed the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and neurons in the superior colliculus, as well as the response of astrocytes in both these ...
Effect of Neonatal Asphyxia on the Impairment of the Auditory Pathway by Recording Auditory Brainstem Responses in Newborn Piglets: A New Experimentation Model to Study the Perinatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Damage on the Auditory Syste
(Public Library Science, 2015-05-26)
Introduction
Hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a major perinatal problem that results in severe damage to the brain impairing the normal development of the auditory system. The purpose of the present study is to study the effect ...
Uptake and intracytoplasmic storage of pigmented particles by human CD34+stromal cells/telocytes: endocytic property of telocytes
(Wiley Blackwell, 2014-12)
We studied the phagocytic-like capacity of human CD34+ stromal cells/telocytes (TCs). For this, we examined segments of the colon after injection of India ink to help surgeons localize lesions identified at endoscopy. Our ...
Role of Antioxidants in Neonatal Hypoxic–Ischemic Brain Injury: New Therapeutic Approaches
(MDPI, 2017-02)
Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage is an alarming health and economic problem in spite of the advances in neonatal care. It can cause mortality or detrimental neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy, motor impairment and ...
A Customized Pigmentation SNP Array Identifies a Novel SNP Associated with Melanoma Predisposition in the SLC45A2 Gene
(Public Library of Science, 2011-04-29)
As the incidence of Malignant Melanoma (MM) reflects an interaction between skin colour and UV exposure, variations in genes implicated in pigmentation and tanning response to UV may be associated with susceptibility to ...
Estimation of preterm labor immediacy by nonlinear methods
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-01)
Preterm delivery affects about one tenth of human births and is associated with an increased perinatal morbimortality as well as with remarkable costs. Even if there are a number of predictors and markers of preterm delivery, ...
Involvement of ANXA5 and ILKAP in Susceptibility to Malignant Melanoma
(Public Library Science, 2014-04-17)
Single nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) are a source of diversity among human population, which may be responsible for the different individual susceptibility to diseases and/or response to drugs, among other phenotypic ...
