Background: The prevalence of individuals allergic to latex, exhibiting cross-hypersensitivity with plant-derived food has been frequently reported as the so-called latex-fruit syndrome. Nonetheless, molecular mechanisms underlying allergy to latex and/or fruit are poorly understood. Objective: The ...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Bone marrow (BM) has been considered so far the reference source for stromal cells (SC) originally called mesenchymal stem cells. Recently human adult adipose tissue (AT) has been reported as a valuable source for the isolation of cells exerting a mesenchymal-like phenotype. Though both BM- and AT- ...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Background: Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ATSCs) hold great promises in regenerative medicine, due to their easy retrieval, high proliferative capacity, and multi-lineage differentiation potential. In the last decade, several studies have reported the plasticity of ATSCs toward a hepatic fat...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and most lethal primary malignant brain tumor, correlated with survival rates of less than one year from the time of diagnosis. Current surgical procedure attempts to remove the bulk of the tumor mass, whereas GBM frequently recurs wit...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
BACKGROUND: Several in vitro assays have been used to identify “cancer stem cells” (CSC), including expression of cell surface markers and Hoechst dye efflux properties. However, each of these methods has potential pitfalls that complicate interpretation of the results. Focusing on colon cancers (CC...
