Abstract The current resurgence of interest in the cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis as possibly providing a unifying theory of cancer biology is fueled by the growing body of work on normal adult tissue stem cells and the promise that CSC may hold the key to one of the central problems of clinical oncology: tumor recurrence.

In vivo models are used in biomedical research to reproduce human disease and develop new drugs. However, they do not mimic the disease as it occurs in humans, and their use has failed to identify novel therapies effective for many highly prevalent non ...

To help elucidate the factors responsible for the infundibular changes seen in acne, the human sebaceous pilosebaceous infundibulum was isolated by microdissection and maintained for 7 d in keratinocyte serum-free medium supplemented with 50 micrograms/ml bovine pituitary extract, 100 units/ml penicillin and streptomycin, 2.5 micrograms/ml amphotericin

An in vitro model of neuronal ensembles
AbstractAdvances in 3D neuronal cultures, such as brain spheroids and organoids, are allowing unprecedented in vitro access to some of the molecular, cellular and developmental mechanisms underlying brain diseases. However, their efficacy in recapitulating brain network properties that encode brain function remains limited, thereby precluding ...

Ischemic Stroke, Lessons from the Past towards Effective Preclinical Models
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide, mainly in western countries. So far, approved therapies rely on reperfusion of the affected brain area, by intravenous thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy.

Fracture Healing Research—Shift towards In Vitro Modeling?
Fractures are one of the most frequently occurring traumatic events worldwide. Approximately 10% of fractures lead to bone healing disorders, resulting in strain for affected patients and enormous costs for society. In order to shed light into underlying

An In Vitro Model of Glioma Development
Gliomas are the prevalent forms of brain cancer and derive from glial cells. Among them, astrocytomas are the most frequent. Astrocytes are fundamental for most brain functions, as they contribute to neuronal metabolism and neurotransmission. When they acquire cancer properties, their functions are altered, and, in addition, they start invading the ...
