Neurodegenerative diseases are a leading cause of disability worldwide. Although the individual pathophysiology differs between conditions, they are generally characterized by the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons and supportive glial cells in the brain...
There are significant limitations side effects to all breast cancer chemotherapy regimens, radiation and surgical treatments, which urgently warrant a search for alternative and more effective therapies...
In the area of cancer research, a major issue with conventional 2D cell culture is that it cannot reproduce complex in vivo cell-extracellular matrix ECM interactions, nor those between cancer epithelial cells and stromal compartment, which play a crucial role in tumorigenesis and progression...
An ideal matrix or cell living environment is generally expected to have an appropriate morphology, mechanical properties, and biological compatibility...
The transcription factor Ascl1 plays a key role in neural development. Recently Ascl1 was identified as a pioneer factor capable of reprogramming other cell types of the central nervous system into neurons using viral mediated overexpression1...
