In cellular biology, stable cells arecells that multiply only when needed. They spend most of the time in the quiescent G0phase of the cell cycle but can be stimulated to enter the cell cycle when needed. Examples include the liver, the proximal tubules of the kidney and endocrine glands. ...
Half-and-half nails: Also known as Lindsay’s nail, these changes seen in kidney disease make the bottom half of the nail a milky white and the top half a brownish-pink. Sometimes, these nails return to normal after kidney transplantation. Article content Tracey Vlahovic, clinical professor ...
BEIJING, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Scientists around the world are looking for the "keys" to enable humans to regrow tissues or organs lost due to illness or injury, just like gecko can regrow a tail. Their quest now extends into space. Stem cell research on Tianzhou-1, China's first carg...
So far, the cleansing process is used only on donor lungs from deceased organ donors. However, I think that just as we can do cleanings through kidney dialysis and plasmapheresis, that one day we will be able to clean the lungs inside the living person who suffers from COPD and other lun...
biologists — all thinking about how we can apply some new things to medicine. That coalesced into a field.” During this period, many advances were made: pacemakers, knee replacements, kidney dialysis, breast implants, stents (shown), heart valve replacements… At the same time, new materials...
amouse modelto characterize what happens when a fetal stem cell differentiates into a mature kidney cell. If scientists can understand this at a genetic level, they may be able to reprogram other stem cells to do the same to discover a way to repair—or completely regrow—a damaged kidney....
Additionally, during anti-EGFR therapy, GBM cells expressing other ERBB family members, such as ERBB4, may tolerate anti-EGFR therapy, allowing tumors to regrow later. 2.5. ERBB4 Has a Vascular Role in GBM During our initial IHC investigations, we noted p-ERBB4 localized on GBM vasculature,...
