Mast cells are immune cells of the haematopoietic lineage that are now thought to have multifaceted functions during homeostasis and in various disease states. Furthermore, while mast cells have been known for a long time to contribute to allergic disease in adults, recent studies, mainly in mice...
In the EDL, TA, plantaris and soleus, the percentage of GFP þ myofibres did not significantly change from 12 to 20 months (Fig. 2d,e,g,i), indicating that satellite cells did not measurably contribute to additional myofibres after 12 months. In the gastrocnemius and EOM, the percentage...
Myofibroblasts have morphological features of both fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. These cells are increased in number in chronic lung diseases and have been suggested to contribute to tissue remodeling processes [10]. Previous studies imply that mast cell mediators are involved in fibroblast ...
The testes of sexually mature males of six mammalian species (men, bulls, boars, rats, mice, guinea pigs) have been studied using biochemical as well as li
MC heterogeneity was initially described in the mid-1960s based on differences in histochemical staining features, leading to the development of the concept of connective tissue MCs (CTMCs) and mucosal MCs (MMCs) [39]. In humans, different MC subpopulations have been defined by their protease co...
The identification of multipotential mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from adult human tissues, including bone marrow stroma and a number of connective tissues, has provided exciting prospects for cell-based tissue engineering and regeneration. This review focuses on the biology of MSCs, including...
Pancreatic tissue from organ donors served as normal controls. Results: Necrosectomy specimens were obtained between 11 and 41 days after the onset of symptoms. In vital areas of necrosectomy samples, spherical hypercellular spheres consisting of loose vascular connective tissue occurred, in part ...
The ectoderm-derived cell population called neural crest cells (NCCs) contributes to most of its structures1. NCCs are transient cell populations that arise from the neural plate border (NPB). They migrate from their dorsal origin to the ventral craniofacial primordium and contribute to the ...
connective tissue and mesenchymal stem cells but not immune cells22, and any shared causal variants with NK cell eQTL are likely to be representative of the proportion one would expect by chance (i.e. shared causal loci are likely to represent effects mediated by other cell types)23. We ...
