The ultimate goal of neural tissue engineering is to produce functional tissue that mimics the physiological properties of the brain and spinal cord SC ...
Current therapies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as Imatinib against Chronic Myeloid Leukemia CML inhibit production of 99 of fast-dividing cells, which are mostly the ones that remain in suspension through out the circulation system...
Somatic cells skin or blood cells from Parkinson s disease PD patients carrying mutations can be reprogrammed into human induced pluripotent stem cells hiPSCs using transcription factors...
One of the most fundamental characteristics of cancer cells that make them different from normal cells is their capacity to proliferate indefinitely...
We present a nano-spray therapy for on-the spot-repair of a heart attack. Our sprayable therapy uses nano-engineered peptide-based materials, where nanomolar concentrations of surface engineered spherical nanogold are used to coat the surface of the cardiac muscle...
