As a test, they compared healthy fibroblast cells, the key component of animal tissue, and malignant fibrosarcoma cells, cancerous cells which derive from fibrous connective tissue. They were able to ...

The researchers then developed a robot-assisted system to build a larger bioreactor with 1,125 hollow fibers. Using this larger system and chicken fibroblast cells (which form connective tissue ...

To scale things up, they employed robot-assisted assembly to construct a system with over 1,100 fibers, successfully producing more than 10 grams of cultured chicken meat using fibroblast cells, which ...

Microglia, the brain's immune cells, usually serve as diligent guardians. They eliminate intruders such as microbes and clear away cellular debris—including the plaques typical of Alzheimer's ...

Denmark Background Some maternal systemic connective tissue diseases (CTD) and their associated antibodies are linked with adverse fetal outcomes, including increased risk of congenital heart diseases ...

Between the urothelial layer and smooth muscle layer is the lamina propria or submucosa, which is composed of loose fibrous connective tissue and allows the bladder to expand and collapse during ...

Background: Krebs von den Lungen 6 (KL-6) is a potential biomarker for determining the severity of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD). Whether KL-6 levels ...
