Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous subset ... MSCs that are cultured in vitro lack specific and unique markers. There is a general consensus that human MSCs do not express the ...

Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an oestrogen independent manner.

This important study focused on characterizing clonally derived MSC populations from the synovium of normal and osteoarthritis (OA) patients, demonstrating their potential to regenerate cartilage in ...

New research has found that changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth.

Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein normally expressed in cells that develop into connective tissue, blood vessels, and ...

We were the first lupus organization in the U.S. to support stromal cell research. In partnership with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, we committed nearly $4 million over ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...
