Nurturing the stem cell business: lessons from the recombinant drugs markets?
The commercial use of embryonic or adult stem cells is still in its infancy. Most young firms concentrated on the generation and storage of stem cells, the development of tissues and related equipment. But the perspectives of therapeutic use of stem cells attract a lot of political and commercial attention to possible new strategic markets opening up new fields besides incumbent ...

The Human Body Is in a State of Constant Flux
Although you may think of your body as a fairly permanent structure, most of it is in a state of constant flux, as old cells are discarded and new ones generated in their place. Each type of tissue has its own turnover time, depending in part on the workload endured by its cells. Adult stem cells are at the core of your body's natural renewal system; 50 to 70 million cells are discarded and ...

A complexity view of organisational reputation
This paper looks at the concept of reputation from four angles: cost-benefit, semiotics, quality and complexity. The complexity outlook may include all the other approaches in certain conditions but is in comparison wider, deeper, evolutionary and more fickle. It can embrace apparently contradictory states that evolve through interaction. The focus is on ambiguity, one of the less-known ...

Application of refractable nanocomposite on cell based therapy in central nervous system
Quantum Dots (QDs) are nano–particles carrying high stability fluorescence to follow the grafted cells which can be used in investigating the movement of cells and understanding the organogenesis of stem cells during development and wound repair processes in adulthood. For its easy acquirement and bypassing moral ethical issues, it makes the human adipose derived stem cells an attractive, ...

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Microenvironment
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) differentiate towards multiple lineages that participate in bone formation and are often utilized for bone regeneration therapy. A 2019 review by Lee et al. explores the endogenous mechanical and biochemical environment of MSCs. Additionally, the article highlights the essential factors that lead to bone repair and how these factors can be leveraged to improve bone ...

Differential histone H3 Lys-9 and Lys-27 methylation profiles on the X chromosome
Histone H3 tail modifications are among the earliest chromatin changes in the X-chromosome inactivation process. In this study we investigated the relative profiles of two important repressive marks on the X chromosome: methylation of H3 lysine 9 (K9) and 27 (K27). We found that both H3K9 dimethylation and K27 trimethylation characterize the inactive X in somatic cells and that their relative ...
