We then tested whether activation of AKT signaling was required for TGF-β-mediated fibrous tissue differentiation by using an AKT inhibitor, MK220628. The PI3K/AKT pathway is known to have an important role in cartilage development and is also activated by TGF-β in other cell types29. The...
3.(Zoology) a thick-walled protective membrane enclosing a cell, larva, or organism [C18: from New Latincystis,from Greekkustispouch, bag, bladder] Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged, 12th Edition 2014 © HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2007...
FD is a hamartomatous, non-neoplastic developmental defect of unknown origin in which normal bone is replaced by an aberrant proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with varying bony trabeculae [4, 5]. Von Recklinghausen first discovered “osteitis fibrosa generalisata” in 1891...
Following earlier descriptions by electron microscopy of three types of epithelial cells and two types of non-epithelial cells (macrophages and interdigitated cells) forming the thymic microenvironment, we report a study on a third compartment, the connective tissue, whose elements occur throughout ...

tissue and thigh [31,32,33,34]. The giant-cell variant of SFT shows many multinucleated stromal giant cells usually arranged around pseudovascular spaces (Fig.4d). This variant was previously known as giant cell angiofibroma and most of these cases involved periorbital soft tissue. However, ...
explained that fish collagen in the form of 2D or 3D scaffold show substantial cell viability [64]. It is pondered to be an exceptional material for both hard and soft tissue applications. Dhand et al. reported calcium ions, catecholamine, and ammonium carbonate for the crosslinking and ...
connective tissues provides criticalmechanical stabilityfrom the cellular scaffold up to theskeleton(Alberts, 2002). In addition to providing the major load-bearing capabilities of a cell, the individual contributions of multipleprotein filamenttypes enable the diverse functionality of this network in cell...
