Lubricin, a proteoglycan encoded by the PRG4 gene, is synthesised by superficial zone (SFZ) chondrocytes and synovial cells. It reduces friction between joints and allows the smooth sliding of tendons
The pancreas and liver arise from a common pool of progenitors in the foregut endoderm; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving this lineage diversification are not fully understood. We c
Collagen I and fibromodulin, which was immobilized on PLCL nanoyarn, induced tenogenic differentiation of hASCs Overall design: control versus COL1+Fmod
Understanding the early developmental processes of the kidney ureteric bud lienage is important for the regeneration of kidney in vitro. The combination of fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) pl
H9 hESCs were grown for different periods in CDM-PVA supplemented with different growth factors (Activin, FGF2 or BMP4) or chemical inhibitors SU5402 (SU) for FGF. Then, immunostaining analyses were u
