Substrate Stiffness Modulates TGF-β1-Induced Lineage Specification in Multipotent Vascular Stem Cells [PDF]
Multipotent vascular stem cells (MVSCs) are found in the vascular wall and surrounding tissues and possess the ability to differentiate into mesenchymal lineages.

Concrete substrate moisture requirements for durable concrete repairs – a field study [PDF]
In concrete repair specifications, the required moisture condition of the substrate, which can play an important role for bond development, and, ultimately, on the long-term repair / overlay durability, is generally ill-defined and addressed without due ...

Assessment of the (010) β-Ga2O3 surface and substrate specification [PDF]
Recent breakthroughs in bulk crystal growth of the thermodynamically stable beta phase of gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) have led to the commercialization of large-area β-Ga2O3 substrates with subsequent epitaxy on (010) substrates producing high-quality films.

Local Presentation of Substrate Molecules Directs Axon Specification by Cultured Hippocampal Neurons [PDF]
Axon specification is a crucial, early step in neuronal development, but little is known about how this event is controlledin vivo. To test the hypothesis that local presentation of growth-promoting molecules can direct axon specification, we cultured ...

Multisite dependency of an E3 ligase controls monoubiquitylation-dependent cell fate decisions [PDF]
Metazoan development depends on tightly regulated gene expression programs that instruct progenitor cells to adopt specialized fates. Recent work found that posttranslational modifications, such as monoubiquitylation, can determine cell fate also ...

Asynchronous mouse embryo polarization leads to heterogeneity in cell fate specification [PDF]
The first lineage allocation in mouse and human embryos separates the inner cell mass (ICM) from the outer trophectoderm (TE). This symmetry-breaking event is executed through polarization of cells at the 8 cell stage and subsequent asymmetric divisions,
