Cells modulate the functional properties of their environment by depositing extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins during biological processes in vivo and in vitro. Despite the ECMs central role in tissue formation, its quantification in hydrogels like Matrig ...
With advances in fetal diagnosis and therapy, fetoscopy has become a good option to treat a series of life threatening diseases like twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome or severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The efficacy of fetoscopy for those types of d ...
The perivascular niche is a complex microenvironment containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), among other perivascular cells, as well as temporally organized biochemical and biophysical gradients. Due to a lack of conclusive phenotypic markers, MSCs' iden ...
