Background Chondrogenic differentiation describes how cartilage is formed from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Cells pass two morphological stages; first they differentiate into chondroblasts, which then mature into chondrocytes. Chondroblasts are responsible for the...
Background Osteogenesis describes the process of bone formation. The cells that create new layers of bone tissue are called osteoblasts. These cells are differentiated from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), in a linear sequence. The dynamics of the morphological and...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold great promise for regenerative medicines such as cell therapy and tissue engineering (1,2). These approaches require cells to be grown in culture and differentiated into specific cell types such as osteoblasts (bone cells),...
Cell-cell interactions between embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) play a vital role in tissue formation in developing embryos [1]. The two cell types are known to communicate through the wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway [2], but identifying...
Role of migration in Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC), as we mentioned in our previous post featuring mitosis in CD34+ Human Cord Blood HSC (https://www.nanolive.com/cd34-mitosis/), are multipotent cells that can differentiate into a...
