Scientists have developed a technique that aligns stem cells into a single sheet, resulting in a marked increase in the secretion of signaling proteins which help repair tissue and regulate the immune ...

The ion channel PIEZO2 doesn't just convey touch stimuli. It also plays a key role in the development of coronary vessels, a ...

The formation of the biomolecule corona on the surface of nanoparticles upon exposure to biological fluids critically influences nanocarrier performance in drug delivery. It has been shown that in ...

The establishment and maintenance of the vascular system is critical for embryonic development and postnatal life. Defects in endothelial cell development and vessel formation and function lead to ...

In the present work we tested the hypothesis that Hcy induces oxidative stress and binding to endothelial cells (ECs) alters expression of endothelial tight junction proteins (TJP). In this study ...

The single-molecule magnet (SMM) is demonstrated here to transform conventional magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), a memory device used in present-day computers, into solar cells. For the first time, ...

Tumor vasculature exhibits uneven luminal diameters, distorted morphology (e.g., blind-end structures), loosely arranged endothelial cells, and abnormal connections between the basement membrane and ...

Claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer. Satricabtagene autoleucel (satri-cel; also known as CT041), an ...
