A groundbreaking study led by Children's Hospital Los Angeles has found a novel mechanism behind neuroblastoma progression: ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...

Recently, a research team from Chongqing Medical University, led by Prof. Wei Huang, Dr. Wei Bao, and Dr. Yiting Lei, has ...

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up about 15% of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, ...

Most cells in the body send out little messengers called extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and other bioactive molecules to other cells, playing an important role in ...

A local weakening of integrin-dependent cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion is necessary and sufficient to trigger folding of the epithelium towards the basal side.

Extracellular cell matrix (ECM) plays a significant role in remodeling and stiffening during breast cancer progression. The rigid ECM impedes chemotherapeutic agent penetration into tumor cells.

Vascular ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins are a series of macromolecules composed mainly of proteins and polysaccharides that serve as scaffolds for vascular cells to synergistically constitute the ...

The extracellular matrix formed during embryonic brain development facilitates the migration of cortical neurons.

A Sticky Situation: Optimizing Cell Culture with Essential Extracellular Matrix Proteins Pre-mixed attachment factors provide a robust solution to streamlining cell culture workflows.

These findings were confirmed in cultured lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) treated with chylomicrons or arachidonic acid, in which zipper junctions were transformed into buttons and ...
