As the crucial powerhouse for cell metabolism and tissue survival, the mitochondrion
frequently undergoes morphological or positional changes when responding to various …

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 …

Cancer progresses by evading the immune system. Elucidating diverse immune evasion
strategies is a critical step in the search for next-generation immunotherapies for cancer …

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

There is emerging evidence that stem cells can rejuvenate damaged cells by mitochondrial
transfer. Earlier studies show that epithelial mitochondrial dysfunction is critical in asthma …

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 …

The transcytosis of antigens across the gut epithelium by microfold cells (M cells) is
important for the induction of efficient immune responses to some mucosal antigens in …

A given cell makes exchanges with its neighbors through a variety of means ranging from
diffusible factors to vesicles. Cells use also tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), filamentous-actin …

Depending on their tissue of origin, genetic and epigenetic marks and microenvironmental
influences, cancer cells cover a broad range of metabolic activities that fluctuate over time …

Mesenchymal stem cells can be used as a novel treatment of ischemic vascular disease;
however, their therapeutic effect and mechanism of action require further evaluation …
