Cells are the basic functional unit of life. A tissue is a group of similar cells that function together as a unit. The cells of tissues are surrounded by non-living material called the extracellular matrix. The composition of the extracellular matrix varies greatly by tissue type....
The main goal of tissue engineering is to fabricate a three-dimensional (3D) porous structure that mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) and supports mechanical and biological properties, named scaffold. The bone scaffold should be biocompatible, biodegradable, and have sufficient mechanical strength, ...
development has led to a greater understanding of the developmental events and the components required to achieve avian corneal transparency. The mammalian cornea is already considered to have key developmental differences compared to the avian cornea. Within mammalian development, the lack of secretory o...
Results showed that LEMH was devoid of cellular materials but contained the main components of the liver ECM. HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells cultured in LEMH displayed cluster growth and formed multilayer 3D cell structures with increased expression of hepatocyte-specific genes compared to two-...
What are the three components of the extracellular matrix in connective tissue? Fill in the blank. Continuous bands of connective tissue that cover the front and back of the vertebral column are called the ___. Choose six bones and describe their location in the body relative to...

Advantages of EVs applications There are many limitations to the development of stem cell research, so researchers are increasingly focusing on their replacement components, EVs. EVs from different cell sources mediate different biological functions and exhibit similar abilities to those of the cells from...
It is believed that miRNAs are one of the main functional components of exosomes in regulating the balance of bone metabolism.25 To explore the reason for the biofunctional differences of MΦ-Exos, we further studied the effect of β-TCP extracts on MΦ-exosomal miRNA cargos. Global small ...
(Q = 52.51,p < 0.05) with the heterogeneity variance components of τlevel 3 = 0.40 and τlevel 2 = 0.00. Also, it was demonstrated that 58.63% of heterogeneity was attributable to level 3 (Ilevel32; between-cluster variance), 0% was attributable to level2 (Ilevel22...
analysis revealed that the transcriptome, methylation and the copy number variation (CNV) levels of the three genes were correlated with patient prognosis and some tumor microenvironment (TME) components. Drug sensitivity analysis found that the three genes may affect some anti-tumor drugs. The mRNA...
