Hepatic progenitor cells(HPCs)hold tremendous potential for liver regeneration,but their well-known limitation of proliferation hampers their broader use.There is evidence that laminin is required for the proliferatio...
Objective: to explore the specific effect, degree and possible mechanism of biofeedback electrical stimulation intervention on the expression of characteristic indicators in Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) rats. Method...
In the glomeruli,mesangial cells produce mesangial matrix while podocytes wrap glomerular capillaries with cellular extensions named foot processes and tether the glomerular basement membrane(GBM).The turnover of the ...
