The past decade has seen an explosion of research directed toward better understanding of
the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) function during rescue and repair …

Legionella species are environmental gram-negative bacteria able to cause a severe form of
pneumonia in humans known as Legionnaires' disease. Since the identification of …

Microglia are the CNS resident immune cells that react to misfolded proteins through pattern
recognition receptor ligation and activation of inflammatory pathways. Here, we studied how …

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been reported to improve bacterial clearance in
preclinical models of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. The …

Mammalian genes were long thought to be constrained within somatic cells in most cell
types. This concept was challenged recently when cellular organelles including …

Stroke is the leading cause of death and physical disability worldwide. Mitochondrial
dysfunction has been considered as one of the hallmarks of ischemic stroke and contributes …

The ability to rapidly adapt cellular bioenergetic capabilities to meet rapidly changing
environmental conditions is mandatory for normal cellular function and for cancer …

Abstract Tunnelling Nanotubes (TNTs) facilitate contact-mediated intercellular
communication over long distances. Material transfer via TNTs can range from ions and …

Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are F-actin-based membrane tubes that form between cells in
culture and in tissues. They mediate intercellular communication ranging from electrical …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered to hold great therapeutic value for cell-
based therapy and for tissue regeneration in particular. Recent evidence indicates that the …
