Optical stimulation ofneurons requires prior transfection with light gated ion channels. This additional step brings complexity and requires optimization. Simplification of the process will ease the undertaking of studies on biological neural network...
BACKGROUND: As a promising neural stimulation technique, infrared neural stimulation (INS) has recently gained significant attention due to its ability to stimulate neuronal activities without needing exogenous agents. NIR light is absorbed by water ...
BACKGROUND: Dental pulp cells-derived small extracellular vesicles (DPCs-sEVs) had shown immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and tissue function restorative abilities. Therefore, DPCs-sEVs should be considered as a promising regenerative tool for de...
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous syndrome, resulting in inconsistent findings across studies. Identifying a core set of genes consistently involved in COPD pathogenesis, independent of patient variability, i...
Cultured neural networks in vitro have demonstrated the biocomputing capability to recognize patterns. However, the underlying mechanisms behind information processing and pattern recognition remain less understood. Here, we developed an in vitro neu...
Pyrogens cause shock symptoms when released into the bloodstream. They are classified into two main categories: endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides [LPS]) and non-endotoxin pyrogens. The monocyte activation test (MAT) is an in vitro assay to detect pyrog...
BACKGROUND: Propolis is a natural substance produced by honeybees that has various biological properties including, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Although previous studies have evaluated the antimicrobial effects of pro...
Primary human mast cells (MC) obtained through culturing of blood-derived MC progenitors are the preferred model for the study of MRGPRX2- IgE-mediated MC activation. In order to assess the impact of culture conditions on functional MRGPRX2 express...
AIM: To evaluate in vitro the effect of laser photobiomodulation (PBM) combined or not with 30-nm hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HANp), on the osteogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) by morphometric analysi...
