Wnt signalling and cancer stem cells
(Springer, 2009-07-15)
[Abstract] Intracellular signalling mediated by secreted Wnt proteins is essential for the establishment of cell fates and proper tissue patterning during embryo development and for the regulation of tissue homeostasis and ...
Prostate cancer and Hedgehog signalling pathway
(Springer, 2007-08-02)
[Abstract] The Hedgehog (Hh) family of intercellular signalling proteins have come to be recognised as key mediators in many fundamental processes in embryonic development. Their activities are central to the growth, ...
Spanish adaptation of the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 (SAQOL-39)
(Minerva Médica, 2009-01-21)
[Abstract] Aim. The stroke and aphasia quality of life scale-39 is an interviewer administered questionnaire that has been developed and validated in the United Kingdom to be applied to patients with chronic aphasia as a ...
Hedgehog signalling as a target in cancer stem cells
(Spirnger, 2009)
[Abstract] Hedgehog (Hh) is one of the most important signalling pathways. Together with the Wnt, TGF-β/BMP and Notch pathways, it is involved in both embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. This is because Hh ...
Differentiation of Murine Embryonic Stem Cells to Thyrocytes Requires Insulin and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1
(Elsevier, 2009-02-14)
[Abstract] The mechanisms controlling thyrocyte development during embryonic stem (ES) cell differentiation have only been partially elucidated, although previous studies have suggested the participation of thyroid stimulating ...
Mitochondrial activity is modulated by TNFα and IL-1β in normal human chondrocyte cells
(Elsevier, 2006-05-05)
[Abstract] Objective. Pro-inflammatory cytokines play an important role in osteoarthritis (OA). In osteoarthritic cartilage, chondrocytes exhibit an alteration in mitochondrial activity. This study analyzes the effect of ...
Differentiation of Synovial CD-105+ Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Chondrocyte-like Cells through Spheroid Formation
(Wiley, 2009-06-18)
[Abstract] Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into several cell lineages, some of which can generate bone, cartilage, or adipose tissue. The presence of MSCs in the synovial membrane was ...
Cell and Tissue Transplant Strategies for Joint Lesions
(Bentham Open, 2008-07-11)
[Abstract]
Articular cartilage lesions that do not disrupt the integrity of subchondral bone are not capable of spontaneous repair. The asymptomatic nature of these lesions leads to articular cartilage degeneration and ...
Notch signalling in cancer stem cells
(Springer, 2009)
[Abstract] A new theory about the development of solid tumours is emerging from the idea that solid tumours, like normal adult tissues, contain stem cells (called cancer stem cells) and arise from them. Genetic mutations ...
Origin of renal cell carcinomas
(Springer, 2008-11-28)
[Abstract] Cancer is a heritable disorder of somatic cells: environment and heredity are both important in the carcinogenic process. The primal force is the “two hits” of Knudson’s hypothesis, which has proved true for ...
