BACKGROUND Keratoconus is a degenerative corneal disease characterised by aberrant cell behaviour and loss of matrix that can result in vision loss.Cells extracted from peripheral corneas can form stem cell-enriched s...
Living organisms are exposed to the geomagnetic field (GMF) throughout their lifespan. Elimination of the GMF, resulting in a hypogeomagnetic field (HMF), leads to central nervous system dysfunction and abnormal d...

Neural stem cells promote neuronal regeneration and repair of brain tissue after injury,but have limited resources and proliferative ability in vivo.We hypothesized that nerve growth factor would promote in vitro prol...
AIM: To determine the role for the intermediate filament protein nestin in glioma invasion. METHODS: We examined the expression and function of nestin in gliomas(Grades Ⅱ-Ⅳ as defined by the World Health Organizatio...
Collagen protein is an ideal scaffold material for the transplantation of neural stem cells. In this study rat neural stern cells were seeded into a three-dimensional collagen gel scaffold, with suspension cultured ne...

Background Glioma stem cell (GSC) hypothesis posits that a subpopulation of cells within gliomas have true clonogenic and tumorigenic potential. Significantly, a more controversial correlate to GSC is that cells in ...
