In recent years, many labs have focused on the identification and characterization of stem cells in various embryonic and adult tissues. These efforts have led to important discoveries about the ...

Researchers report the first evidence in living organisms that adherens junctions, the 'glue' between cells, actively respond to mechanical cues by remodeling their position and intensity, which in ...

The so-called cellular slime mold, a unicellular organism that may transition into a multicellular organism under stress, has just been found to have a tissue structure that was previously thought to ...

In recent research on regenerative medicine, three-dimensional (3D) tissue reconstruction using the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell) differentiated cells has attracted attention. In this study ...

Are prematurely aged or overworked stem cells a significant factor in chronic lung disease? Findings of a study just released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine (SCTM) say this is likely so. The ...

We don’t know much about the regulation of endocytosis and cell-to-cell transport in the muco-ciliary epithelium of the upper respiratory tract. Viruses, on the other hand, know all about it. We use ...

Our staff is having difficulty with the definitions of tissue types seen in pressure ulcers. Can you help? There are four basic types of skin tissue seen in pressure ulcers: slough, eschar, ...

Evidence-based recommendations on tissue-cultured limbal stem cell allograft transplantation for regrowth of corneal epithelium. This involves taking limbal stem cells from a living or deceased donor, ...
