Cell motility driving mediolateral intercalation in explants of Xenopus laevis [PDF]
In Xenopus, convergence and extension are produced by active intercalation of the deep mesodermal cells between one another along the mediolateral axis (mediolateral cell intercalation), to form a narrower, longer array.

An Injection‐Molded Modified Silicone Rubber for Cancer‐on‐Chip Applications
This study describes the characterization and application of an injection‐molded functionalized PDMS fluidic insert for the commercially available Micronit system. Modified PDMS can accommodate cell culture and is able to covalently bind proteins for long‐lasting coatings under flow‐conditions.

Micropropagation of three genotypes of Indian mustard [{Brassica juncea} (L.) Czern.] using seedling-derived transverse thin cell layer (tTCL) explants [PDF]
Micropropagation of three genotypes of Indian mustard [\textit{Brassica juncea} (L.) Czern.] using 7-days old seedling-derived transverse thin cell layer (tTCL) explants was accomplished. The genotype, explant source and addition of silver nitrate to the medium significantly influenced shoot bud induction.

Joint modelling of national cultures accounting for within and between-country heterogeneity [PDF]
Cultural values vary significantly around the world. Despite a large heterogeneity, similarities across national cultures are present. This paper studies cross-country culture heterogeneity via the joint inference of country-specific copula graphical models from world-wide survey data.

Myofibrillogenesis in Precardiac Mesoderm Explant Culture.
To investigate the cardiac differentiation and the initial stages of myofibrillogenesis, chick precardiac mesoderm explants were cultured and spatiotemporal expressions of various sarcomeric cytoskeletal proteins were examined by immunofluorescence microscope. The precardiac cells differentiated and formed well organized myofibrils in culture.

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies for Hearing Loss
Challenges still exist in treating hearing loss in cases of severe damage to hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. Here, a schematic diagram of cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory nerves is presented. It is found that in normal Corti organs, hair cells have upright stereocilia at the top and auditory neurons at the base. Ototoxic drugs, noise, or

In wound repair vimentin mediates the transition of mesenchymal leader cells to a myofibroblast phenotype. [PDF]
Following injury, mesenchymal repair cells are activated to function as leader cells that modulate wound healing. These cells have the potential to differentiate to myofibroblasts, resulting in fibrosis and scarring.

A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]
Human primary muscle cells cultured aneurally in monolayer rarely contract spontaneously because, in the absence of a nerve component, cell differentiation is limited and motor neuron stimulation is missing(1). These limitations hamper the in vitro study

Lycium barbarum glycopeptide (LBGP), which is further extracted from Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, exhibits significant protective effects against neomycin‐induced hearing dysfunction including oxidative stress in cochlea and loss of key cells in cochlea.

Shoot regeneration seedlings from transverse thin cell layer explants excised from cotyledon, petiole, hypocotyl of [{Brassica juncea} L. Czern.] in the presence of CdCl$_2$ [PDF]
The present work describes a novel neoformation process of \textit{Brassica juncea} (L.) Czern. seedlings from transverse thin cell layers in the presence of CdCl$_2$. In order to investigate the regeneration ability of this crop, the effect of CdCl$_2$ on shoot regeneration (frequency of regeneration and bud number per tTCL) was examined.
