The female reproductive system consists of the ovaries,oviducts(fallopian tubes), uterus, cervix, and vagina (Figure 1). The ovary consists ofoocyteswithin follicles (containingthecal cellsjust outside andgranulosa cellsjust inside the follicle) where the oocytes are located and develop, and support...
A dietary compound found in herbal medicines such as holy basil, as well as in the natural waxy coating of fruits like apples, ursolic acid has extraordinary anti-cancer potential. Ursolic acid has been shown to treat cancers of the skin, colon, breast, lung, cervix, prostate, esophagus, an...
her family had no ideathat her cells were used in the groundbreaking accomplishment. When Bobette Lacks, Henrietta’s daughter-in-law, coincidentally met a cancer researcher years later, Bobette learned that Henrietta’s cells had been growing since her death in...
b It allows the brain to continue growing. (It also allows the baby's head to squash as it is pushed out through the cervix and vagina during childbirth, but students are unlikely to think of this.) 5 Difference: in an exoskeleto...
The portion of the reproductive tract called the vagina is between the narrow uterine cervix and the outside of the body. In female humans there is a second opening where the urethra from the urinary bladder connects to the outside of the body. The urethral opening is normally separate from...
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are subpopulations of cancer cells sharing similar characteristics as normal stem or progenitor cells such as self-renewal ability and multi-lineage differentiation to drive tumour growth and heterogeneity. Throughout the cancer
With the growing use of LCAR-B38M, the long-term survival of the CAR T-exposed patients garners increased attention. The follow-up information is needed for a comprehensive evaluation of product quality and a clear direction of scheme optimization. Meanwhile, since CAR T cell emerges as a pa...
Almost no IN-2 was observed in the cytoplasmic compartment of cells infected with “bald” virus for 1 h (Fig.2g, inset g1). In the latter case, an accumulation of IN-2 was observed outside the cells, similar to the DNS treatment. Only a minute fraction of IN-2 from “bald” ...
Nanomaterials/devices can provide more opportunities for substrates and cells to interact, which can well improve the efficiency of cell capture. As a result, an ever-growing number of researchers have fabricated nanowires [163,164] nanotubes [165], nanodots [166], nanomembranes [145,167,168], ...
Examples of keratinocyte epithelial cells include, but are not limited to, dermal keratinocyte, ocular epithelial cells, corneal epithelial cells, oral mucosal epithelial cells, esophagus epithelial cells, and cervix epithelial cells. NKE cells form the epithelium of the body such as found in the ...
