Label-free Cell Analysis
Label-free cell analysis is a promising technology that is broadly applicable to the biomedical sciences but cannot be easily accomplished without artificial intelligence. Simply put, it is very tedious and time consuming for research [...]
Blood-derived Angiogenic Cells (BDACs) with a Pericytic Phenotype for the Treatment of Ischemic Diseases
Not all pericytes are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Indeed, specifically during angiogenesis pericytes of hematopoietic origin were demonstrated to be the major supportive cell type1, 2. Figure 2: BDACs enhance endothelial sprouting in vitro and [...]
Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering and Regeneration
The musculoskeletal system is an intricate network comprised of hard and soft tissues including bone, tendon, and muscle and functions to facilitate body movement. Injuries and diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system dramatically impacts our quality [...]
