Human Wharton's Jelly-Derived Stem Cells Display a Distinct Immunomodulatory and Proregenerative Transcriptional Signature Compared to Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells.

Stem cells and development
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with immunosuppressive and trophic support functions. While MSCs from different sources frequently display a similar appearance in culture, they often show differences in their surface marke...

The addition of inulin and Lactobacillus casei 01 in sheep milk ice cream.

Food chemistry
The effect of the Lactobacillus casei 01 and inulin addition on sheep milk ice cream during storage (-18 °C, 150 days) was investigated. Control, probiotic and synbiotic ice cream (10% w/w sheep milk cream; 10% w/w sheep milk cream, L. casei 01, 6 lo...

Controlled surface morphology and hydrophilicity of polycaprolactone toward human retinal pigment epithelium cells.

Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications
Applying scaffolds as a bed to enhance cell proliferation and even differentiation is one of the treatment of retina diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which deteriorating photoreceptors and finally happening blindness. In this s...

Optimizing parameters on alignment of PCL/PGA nanofibrous scaffold: An artificial neural networks approach.

International journal of biological macromolecules
This paper proposes an artificial neural networks approach to finding the effects of electrospinning parameters on alignment of poly(ɛ-caprolactone)/poly(glycolic acid) blend nanofibers. Four electrospinning parameters, namely total polymer concentra...

Cellular level robotic surgery: Nanodissection of intermediate filaments in live keratinocytes.

Nanomedicine : nanotechnology, biology, and medicine
We present the nanosurgery on the cytoskeleton of live cells using AFM based nanorobotics to achieve adhesiolysis and mimic the effect of pathophysiological modulation of intercellular adhesion. Nanosurgery successfully severs the intermediate filame...

Robotic adherent cell injection for characterizing cell-cell communication.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Compared to robotic injection of suspended cells (e.g., embryos and oocytes), fewer attempts were made to automate the injection of adherent cells (e.g., cancer cells and cardiomyocytes) due to their smaller size, highly irregular morphology, small t...

Network Analysis of Integrin Adhesion Complexes.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Cell-surface adhesion receptors mediate interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM) to control many fundamental aspects of cell behavior, including cell migration, survival, and proliferation. Integrin adhesion receptors recruit structural and s...

Leukocyte recognition in human fecal samples using texture features.

Journal of the Optical Society of America. A, Optics, image science, and vision
Unlike urine or blood samples with a single background, human fecal samples contain large amounts of food debris, amorphous particles, and undigested plant cells. It is difficult to segment such impurities when mixed with leukocytes. Cell degradation...

Piezo-actuated parallel mechanism for biological cell release at high speed.

Biomedical microdevices
In this paper, a dynamic releasing approach is proposed for high-speed biological cell manipulation. A compact parallel mechanism for grasping and releasing microobjects is used to generate controllable vibration to overcome the strong adhesion force...
