Three-dimensional culture of a homogeneous cell population (typically from a cell line). When the 3D structures harbour different organ-specific cell types, these are generally referred to as ‘organoids’. Anoikis The process of programmed cell death that occurs when epithelial cells lose contact ...
As a highly prevalent and recurrent disorder, half of onsets of depression occurs in adolescents [2]. Notably, women are much more prone to depression, as early onset of puberty in women results in chronic courses and recurrence of depression in adulthood [3]. Depression is ranked as the ...
resulting in temporary opening of the BBB, which recovers with time after stimulation has ended (Fig.1c). The specific proteins that are disrupted, the timescale over which this occurs, and the nature of the renewal of these junctions is a function of the specific disruption mechanism employed...

Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) and, more recently, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) have been shown to down-regulate hCG synthesis and up-regulate TUN secretion. Right: Finally, a third type of trophoblast, the invasive intermediate trophoblast, differentiates toward an invasive phenotype and...
Although death is inevitable, individuals have long sought to alter the course of the ageing process. Indeed, ageing has proved to be modifiable; by intervening in biological systems, such as nutrient sensing, cellular senescence, the systemic environment and the gut microbiome, phenotypes of ageing...
cCAFs were derived from immortalized human normal mammary fibroblasts that were activated when cotransplanted with human breast cancer cells in subcutaneous tumours9, while we generated pCAFs and pNFs from surgical samples of patients with breast cancer at an advanced stage. All the fibroblasts ...
