Specialized cells then rapidly ingest and degrade these fragments, making evidence of apoptosis difficult to detect. Tissue function depends on more than cell type and proper rates of death and ...

In the future, such specialized cells and tissues grown from ESCs generated by nuclear transfer may help treat disease, hence the term "therapeutic cloning." ...

Unlike many organs, which achieve multifunctionality through specialized cell types, the STB is a single giant cell with billions of individual nuclei. In the above image of a cross-section of term ...

The researchers examined MAIT cells from blood, barrier tissues and lymphoid tissue samples ... "We found that MAIT cells in ...

Tissue renewal Tissue stem cells renew tissues by dividing and differentiating into specialized cells. An example of tissue stem cells are blood stem cells (hematopoietic stem cells) which are found ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered how specialized cells surrounding ... trials “When we removed perivascular cells, blood vessels essentially failed to respond to tissue ...

but in other tissue types as well. Gap junctions are specialized connections that form a narrow pore between adjacent cells. These pores permit small molecules and ions to move from one cell to ...

Stem cell research is still a new field within biology. Many big advances, like the discovery of human embryonic and tissue stem cells, have been made only during the past 25 years. Thanks to stem ...

The heart also contains specialized types of cardiac tissue containing “pacemaker” cells. These contract and expand in response to electrical impulses from the nervous system. Pacemaker cells ...

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) have developed an innovative tool that enhances surgeons' ability to detect and remove ...

Scientists have discovered new fat cell subpopulations with specialized functions, revealing differences between subcutaneous ...
