225 years ago, Alexander von Humboldt observed the first crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) tree, Clusia rosea (Clusiaceae). Since then, the photosynthetic and ecophysiological plasticity of Clusia
species have captivated the minds of plant scientists worldwide. CAM is a physiological adapt...
Identification of the major protease sites in MSLN and preparation of a monoclonal antibody, 15B6, that binds next to cell membrane at the protease sensitive region and inhibits MSLN shedding. Mab 15B6 makes very active CAR-T cells whose activity is not blocked by shed MSLN. The 15B6 CAR-T cells hav...
Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) can be used as a potential clinical material. But the use of xenogeneic ingredients, especially fetal bovine serum, will increase the risk of zoonotic disease transmission during the use of animal-derived products. Human-platelet-lysate (hPL) w...
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly conserved morphogenic process defined by the loss of epithelial characteristics and the acquisition of a mesenchymal phenotype. EMT is associated with increased aggressiveness, invasiveness, and metastatic potential in carcinoma cells. To assess th...
We conducted transcriptional profiling of laser-captured stamen abscission zone cells over five developmental stages from prepollination to organ shed.
Profiling of chromosomal gains and losses in a genomic complement of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth comparing control undifferentieated SHED with hepatocyte differentiated SHED.
Brain injury induces a peripheral acute cytokine response (ACR) that directs the transmigration of leukocytes into brain. This brain-to-peripheral immune communication affects patient recovery, thus understanding how it is regulated is important. Contrary to expectations it is not regulated by sym...
