Background:Recently, the management of musculoskeletal disorders with the patients' own stem cells, isolated from the walls of small blood vessels, which can be found in great numbers in the adipose tissue, has received considerable attention. On the other hand, there are still misconceptions ...
Bone marrow is a soft, semi-solid tissue found in the center of many bones, including the sternum (breastplate), femur (thigh bone), and hips. Bone marrow contains hematopoietic stem cells, and these cells functions to produce red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. There are ...
Messenger bubbles produced by human cells can pick up bacterial products and deliver them to other cells, University of Connecticut researchers report in the journalNature Cell Biology.The discovery may explain a key mechanism by which bacteria, whether friendly or infectious, affect our health. The ...
How are stem cells necessary for cell differentiation? How are chromaffin cells stimulated? How do vacuoles maintain cell turgidity? How do Langerhans cells protect the body? How are microvilli formed in gut endothelial cells? What does the cuboidal epithelial tissue absorb and what does it diffuse...
The cellular portion of blood contains red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets. The RBCs carry oxygen from the lungs; the WBCs help to fight infection; and platelets are parts of cells that the body uses for clotting. All blood cells are produced in the bone marr...
Once the donated stem cells are infused into the recipient, they find their way into the marrow space in the bones. When they are in place and begin to reproduce, engraftment occurs. The stem cells will create a new hematopoietic andimmune systemfor the recipient. ...
Human stem cells that are capable of becoming any other kind of cell in the body have previously only been acquired and cultivated with difficulty. Scientists at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in the Helmholtz Association have now

analyses to show that macrophage-derived foam cells are associated with suppression, rather than activation, of inflammatory genes and that most of the changes in gene expression and lipid metabolism are triggered by the accumulation of desmosterol, an intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway...
How are plant meristem cells like stem cells? How do viruses escape helper T-cells? How are memory B cells activated? What cells are formed by replicating B cells? How are endothelial cells produced? How does bradykinin increase Ca2+ in endothelial cells? What are helper T cells? What do ...
