(a) What are the two major groups of cell membrane proteins? (b) How are they different? What are the cells found in each of the three specialized connective tissue types? What kind of cells are the Schwann cells? Where are they located and what is their function?
Characterization of this 39 kDa protein may provide a useful marker for classification of connective tissue cells.doi:10.1042/bj2690265Nyirkos, PGolds, E EBiochemical JournalNyirkos P, Golds EE. Human synovial cells secrete a 39 kDa protein similar to a bovine mammary protein expressed during ...
None of these cell types expressed the MTJ-B signature. Thus, MTJ-B represents a nuclear population in the myofiber that co-expresses genes typical of the myofiber (e.g. Ttn) and of connective tissue (Pdgfrb, Col6a3, Ebf1). Identification of additional myonuclear populations...

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic set of molecules produced by the cellular component of normal and pathological tissues of the embryo and adult.
Among all cancers, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common and the 2nd leading cause of death worldwide. New therapeutic strategies are required to target cancer stem cells (CSCs), a subset of tumor cells highly resistant to present-day therapy an
The spleens of C57BL/6J mice were removed and placed in Petri dishes containing Hanks’ solution to strip away the surrounding connective tissue, and the spleens were homogenized with a 5 ml syringe to prepare a single-cell suspension of mouse spleen cells. After filtration through a 70 μm...
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease, is a genetic disorder of connective tissue and is identified by bone dysplasia and fragility (Martin and Shapiro2007; Forlino and Marini2016). With an estimated 25,000-50,0000 cases in the United States, it affects approximately...
Sir Paul Ehrlich in 1877 was the first to identify the mast cells as a granular cell of loose connective tissue [7]. The MCs consist of mediators (histamine, serotonin, kallikrein, TNF-α, tryptase and chymase) stored in the cytoplasmic granules. These mediators are released upon degranulation...
These molecules have therapeutic potential in promoting tissue regeneration, supporting stem cell activity, preventing cell death, modulating immune responses, and promoting the growth of new blood vessels. However, the precise roles of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the ...
