Stem cells are cell types that are not fully differentiated into any specific cell type, but rather function to divide by mitosis and differentiate into other cell types. This is important to replenish cells that may have been lost or damaged from a tissue....
Embryonic day 15.5 mouse kidney next to a 15.5 week human fetal kidney with SIX2 (cyan) marking the nephron progenitor cells. The collecting duct system is red, and nuclei are in blue. Credit: Lori O'Brien The best laid plans of mice and men are a bit different—at least when it come...
Stem CellsHumanHereditary pyropoikilocytosis干细胞The hierarchy of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in human umbilical cord blood has been disclosed. In this study we compare, for the first time, the angiogenic potential difference between two types of EPCs. We cultured mononuclear cells (MNCs) ...
Then, there are hematopoietic stem cells — also referred to as blood stem cells — that can transform into white and red blood cells, as well as platelets. Because of that, they can carry oxygen, fight infections, and stop bleeding. The HSCs grown on the ISS have shown promise in turnin...
A common approach to testing for differences between the survival rates of two therapies is to use a proportional hazards regression model which allows for an adjustment of the two survival functions for any imbalance in prognostic factors in the comparison. When the relative risk of one treatment...
difference between the two waves creates a secondary voltage that moves in opposition to the voltage from your energy source, known as inductance. Because of this property, inductive loads tend to experience power surges when they are turned on and off, a phenomenon not seen with resistive loads...

suspended in liquid media, and the cells thus remain in the fluid media. They are not anchorage dependent. Thekey differencebetween the Adherent and the Suspension cell lines is the anchorage dependence of the cells.Adherent cell lines need solid support for its growth, thus is anchorage-...
Objectives The goal of this study was to demonstrate the enhancement of human cardiac progenitor cell (hCPC) reparative and regenerative potential by genetic modification for the treatment of myocardial infarction. Background Regenerative potential of stem cells to repair acute infarction is limited. ...
