We are studying several genes involved in different aspects of stem cell activation, including some that transduce initial signals, and others that regulate self-renewal and differentiation. This work ...

such as antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer (NK)-cell cytotoxicity and the activation of neutrophils. However, activated NK cells can also kill MSCs. MSCs inhibit T-cell ...

The results yielded a surprise: Even stem cells possess surface proteins that enable them to suppress the activation of inflammatory and immune responses in the body. This finding is particularly ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Endothelial cells are also likely to participate in activation, both by production of cellular fibronectin and via conversion of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta from the latent to active ...
