Scientists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have detailed a roadmap for untangling a key aspect of magnetic recognition that could deepen insight into the workings of the cosmos.
The tall elephant’s foot — low growing from a center arrangement of leaves, known as a rosette — have greater leverage to push, according to the study. Findings may also apply to other low-hovering plants, such as aloe or agave.
It’s been the case for decades — high numbers of U.S. women who give birth lose or face changes to their health insurance afterward.
In a test of the photon entanglement that makes quantum communication possible, researchers built a quantum local area network (QLAN) that shared information among three systems in separate buildings. The team used a protocol called remote state preparation, where a successful measurement of one half of an entangled photon pair converts the other photon to the preferred state. The researchers performed this conversion across all the paired links in the QLAN—a feat not previously accomplished on a quantum network.
A new study uses an innovative approach to examine the bay’s shallow-water hydrothermal system and the production of microbes there in situ and near natural conditions as a model to assess the importance of hydrothermal fluid circulation on chemosynthesis.
A firearm injury researcher and emergency physician provides information on firearm injuries, deaths, risk factors and attitudes among adults over 50, and gives tips for individuals and families to reduce risk of suicide and other firearm-related harm.
A Cornell-led project has created synthetic nanoclusters that can mimic this hierarchical self-assembly all the way from the nanometer to the centimeter scale, spanning seven orders of magnitude. The resulting synthetic thin films have the potential to serve as a model system for exploring biomimetic hierarchical systems and future advanced functions.
… stem cell commitment, the field’s mechanistic understanding of this phenomenon largely derives from simplified two-dimensional (2D) culture substrates. Here, we found a 3D matrix–specific mechanoresponsive mechanism for neural stem cell (NSC …
… cells remains eliciting the desired stem cell behavior once transplanted in the body. In their natural environment, stem cell fate is regulated by their … ECM ligands, as well as soluble cues, making MSN-ssDNA based biointerfaces a novel tool to …
… Importantly, we demonstrate that Aux interacts with EGFR and safeguards the activation of EGFR to maintain a proper stem cell proliferation rate. Thus, our data uncover the underlying mechanism of Aux in stem cell proliferation control and …
… This article briefly introduced the regulatory framework development, the progress in stem cell clinical researches and clinical trials of commercially developed stem cell-based products, as well as the clinical review concerns of stem cell-based products in …
In this review, we will outline dimensions in which outcome of patients with myelofibrosis undergoing curative treatment can be optimized: patient selection, transplant procedure, and posttransplant prevention or treatment of relapse. For …
… of etoposide and cytarabine [8], or intensive chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (IC-ASCT) [9, 10]. Thiotepa-based myeloablative chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) …
… Owing to the fact that MSC-derived exosomes can further control stem cell differentiation by carrying and transferring miRNAs, stem cell-based exosome therapeutic regimens have been highlighted as effective means for cardiac …
The widespread clinical application of cord blood (CB) for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is limited mainly by the inadequate number of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in single CB units, which results in unsuccessful or …
… Mesenchymal stem cell-derived EV have been shown to contain a diverse array of bioactive cargo, including proteins, nucleic acids, non-coding RNA and lipids. The lipid bilayer of the EV membrane protects the cargo from degradation and is often …
