Cultured skin substitutes, prepared using keratinocytes, fibroblasts and biopolymers, can facilitate closure of massive burn wounds by increasing the availability of autologous tissue for grafting. However, because they contain only two cell types, skin substitutes cannot replace all of the functio...
Recent genomic studies revealed that mitochondria from mistletoe species appear to lack a major amount of genes, indicating a possible loss of the NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) which forms an essential part of the mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation System (OXPHOS). This dataset is ...
In order to test the hypothesis that fibroblasts from different tissues are phenotypically distinct from one another, we have subjected tendon, skin and corneal fibroblasts of fetal mouse to mechanical stimulation by fluid flow and analyzed the transcriptional responses of the cells using Affymetrix...
The goal of the project is to identify genes that make individuals more susceptible to bipolar disorder (manic depressive illness) and to better understand the brain pathways involved in the disease.
