inflammatory cells involved in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

stem cells involved in plant development that can issue different instructions about how to grow depending on what peptide (protein fragment) activates it.
Gerard Karsenty at Columbia University in New York City and his colleagues applied osteoblasts —
bone cells involved in building new bone — to cultures of cells taken from either the testes or ovaries of mice.
All of these findings were supplemented with several other experiments that were designed to learn how CHI3L1 interacts with
other cells involved in the tissue repair response in both human and mouse lungs.
The release of inflammatory chemicals called «cytokines» (proteins secreted by
specific cells involved in immunity and in inflammation) leads to biochemical reactions involving neurotransmitters.
Everyday influences — the weights Dad lifts to make himself muscle - bound, the diet regimen Mom follows to lose pounds — don't produce stronger or slimmer progeny, because those changes don't affect the
germ cells involved in making children.
The Duke researchers engineered a noninvasive magnet - based technology to create fever - like conditions in two specific temperature - sensitive ion channels called TRPV1 and TRPV4 in the neural
crest cells involved in developing the heart and face.
«Our study also indicates that the path towards
iPS cells involves the use of specific control switches on DNA called enhancers,» adds Dr Constantinos Chronis from UCLA.
The team is now working with doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital, who hope to use the new, noninvasive technique to
study cells involved in cancer, asthma, and other conditions in which cell properties change as a disease progresses.
These «wires» are projected
from cells involved in receiving incoming odor signals from neurons in the nose, and local cells in the bulb that modulate them — including short axon (SA) cells (brightly illuminated in this view) and external tufted (ET) cells.
The human
kidney cell involved survived the experience, and though we are a long way from the laser eyes of Cyclops from the X-Men franchise, the achievement suggests that «living lasers» might be created inside live animals.
Antibodies only bind to target cells Peptide antibodies developed by Kwak and co-discoverer, Hong Qin, Ph.D., assistant professor of Lymphoma / Myeloma, wipe out MDSCs in the blood, spleen and tumor cells of mice without binding to other white blood cells or
dendritic cells involved in immune response.
Because the TSG12 specifically targets the
muscle cells involved in asthma, it may also have fewer side effects than beta - 2 agonists.
Indeed, not all tumours have the same aggressiveness, nor the same angiogenic capacity; it was therefore a question of observing whether the recruitment of these cells took place differently, depending on the type of
malignant cells involved.
Entry of adenoviruses
into cells involves an initial attachment of the fiber knob to the cell receptor, followed by internalization via a secondary interaction of the penton base with αv integrins [34], [35].
«I believe that the result of this collaboration not only sheds light on the long sought mystery of arabinogalactan sugar chains but will also advance the understanding of the yet to be resolved signaling pathway
between cells involving sugar chains.»
Growth inhibition induced by antiprogestins RU - 38486, ORG - 31710, and CDB - 2914 in ovarian cancer
cells involves inhibition of cyclin dependent kinase 2.
Cellular metabolism involves a series of interconnected biochemical reactions catalysed by enzymes inside a cell
Resistance to DNA - damaging treatment in non-small cell lung cancer tumor -
initiating cells involves reduced DNA - PK / ATM activation and diminished cell cycle arrest.
Additional trials were excluded from consideration if their only relationship to stem
cells involved now - conventional unmanipulated bone marrow or cord blood transplants.
Cellular Studies (CEL): The study of
animal cells involving the use of microscopy to study cell structure and studies investigating activity within cells such as enzyme pathways, cellular biochemistry, and synthesis pathways for DNA, RNA, and protein.
5/15/2008 New Role Found for a Cardiac Progenitor Population In a discovery that could one day lead to an understanding of how to regenerate damaged heart tissue, researchers at the University of California, San Diego have found that
parent cells involved in embryonic development of the epicardium — the cell l...
Astrocytomas originate in glial cells called astrocytes, the multitudinous star -
shaped cells involved in cell repair and nutrient transport.
There are some genetically
engineered cells involved — along with near - infrared LEDs, subdermal hydrogel capsules, and electromagnetic field coils.
In both males and females, the production of
sex cells involves meiosis, a type of cell division whereby our two sets of genetic instructions are reduced to one set for the sex cell.
Our findings show that two fragments of alpha - synuclein, a protein that accumulates in the brain cells of people with Parkinson's, can activate the
T cells involved in autoimmune attacks.
Whereas the Walker Circulation (or «Walker Cell») refers to an air flow parallel with the equator — all in the tropics — the
Hadley Cell involves air rising in the tropics (follows the solar equator and gives rise to the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) which then flows polewards before sinking in the subtropics.
In a report on the mouse studies, published online Sept. 11 in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America), the investigators say the genetic alteration appears to release the biochemical «brakes» on
brain cells involved in body movement, reasoning and perception of the world, triggering over-excited activity and reactions.
