Human iPSC-derived engineered heart tissue (hEHT) has been used to remuscularize injured hearts in a guinea pig infarction model. While beneficial effects on cardiac remodeling have been demonstrated, the arrhythmogenic potential of hEHTs is a major concern. We investigated whether hiPSC-derived hE...
Between 2 weeks to 3 months after quitting smoking, lung capacity and performance will regenerate and according to the American Heart Association enable intense activities such as running, and the same is true for heavy vapers. Final Thoughts Vaping causes lung damage due to the chemicals in the...
Subsequently, the data showed that female MDSCs could regenerate skeletal muscles more efficiently than their male counterparts [53]. It has also been evidenced that the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential of human MDSCs in bone and cartilage regeneration is donor sex-related [54]....
From blood storms to honeycomb lungs, here’s an organ-by-organ look at how COVID-19 harms humans.
Higher primates also have elevated urate due to a mutation in uricase, and this has been proposed to explain human longevity (Wu et al., 1992). A hyperuricaemic explanation fails however to explain the better resistance of isolated avian cells to oxidative stressors in vitro (Ogburn et al...

Nivolumab, a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody against PD-1 has proven overall survival benefits in patients with several types of cancers, such as metastatic melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and advanced renal cell carcinoma [115]. Preliminary data from the checkmate-040 trial propose that ...
"The idea is that by putting the needle in, you stimulate the brain to secrete some nerve growth factor, and then that helps the nerve to regenerate," Bao said. A model identifies acupuncture points in the head. (Image credit: hjschneider Shutterstock) Acupuncture is also commonly used in ...
A Human IPS Model Implicates Embryonic B-Myeloid Fate Restriction as Developmental Susceptibility to B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Associated ETV6-RUNX. Dev. Cell 2018, 44, 362–377.e7. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] [PubMed] [Green Version] Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to ...
By aiming to rescue damaged cells and regenerate damaged tissue or modulate inflammatory pathways extensive research has been conducted over the last decades mainly with mixed or negative results. Hurdles like the optimal application strategy, poor survival and engraftment of the cells as well as a ...
