Co-Delivery of Sustained Release Chondroitinase ABC-37 With Human iPSC-Derived Neural Progenitors Promotes Transplant Survival and Functional Recovery in a Rodent Model of Stroke. [PDF]
A regenerative strategy for stroke combines human stem cell–derived neural progenitor cells with sustained release of a matrix‐modifying, thermostable chondroitinase ABC‐37 enzyme. In a rat model of stroke, co‐delivery enhanced transplanted cell survival and neuronal differentiation, degraded inhibitory extracellular matrix components, and improved ...

Background Unlike other proteins that exhibit a diffusion pattern after intracerebral injection, laminin displays a vascular pattern. It remains unclear if this unique vascular pattern is caused by laminin-receptor interaction or laminin self-assembly ...

Laminin is the ECM niche for trophoblast stem cells
Laminin functions as an ECM niche factor for trophoblast stem cells and secures trophoblast stem cell expansion through its interactions with integrin. The niche is a specialized microenvironment for tissue stem cells in vivo. It has long been emphasized

Laminin concentration in ascites of patients with hepatic cirrhosis and peritoneal carcinomatosis
Laminin levels in ascitic fluid have been proposed as a marker for neoplastic ascites. We compared the concentration of laminin in serum and in ascitic fluid from patients with hepatic cirrhosis and peritoneal carcinomatosis and assessed the diagnostic ...

Endogenous laminin is required for human airway smooth muscle cell maturation
Background Airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction underlies acute bronchospasm in asthma. ASM cells can switch between a synthetic-proliferative phenotype and a contractile phenotype.

The association of laminin levels with insulin resistance and non-alcoholic hepatosteatosis
Background Laminin, one of the largest glycoproteins of the basement membrane, is an important component of the extracellular matrix. Functions of the basement membrane include regulation of cell signaling behaviors and structural support.

Cumulative prognostic power of laminin genes in colorectal cancer
Background Laminins are a major family of extracellular matrix proteins and the main component of basement membranes. Laminins are involved in many if not all stages of cancer progression, and expression of laminin genes has prognostic value in various ...
