Utilization of host purines by transplanted tumors.
Tumors derive their nutrients from the host. These materials may come directly from the diet via the blood, from labile pools which may exist in host tissues, or from the substance of host tissues through their breakdown and transport to the tumor. This has been well studied in the case of tumor-host protein relationships and has resulted in the concept of the tumor as a nitrogen trap, since it...
متن کاملIdiosyncratic Mòjiāng virus attachment glycoprotein directs a host-cell entry pathway distinct from genetically related henipaviruses
In 2012, cases of lethal pneumonia among Chinese miners prompted the isolation of a rat-borne henipavirus (HNV), Mòjiāng virus (MojV). Although MojV is genetically related to highly pathogenic bat-borne henipaviruses, the absence of a conserved ephrin receptor-binding motif in the MojV attachment glycoprotein (MojV-G) indicates a differing host-cell recognition mechanism. Here we find that MojV...
متن کاملGeometric friction directs cell migration.
In the absence of environmental cues, a migrating cell performs an isotropic random motion. Recently, the breaking of this isotropy has been observed when cells move in the presence of asymmetric adhesive patterns. However, up to now the mechanisms at work to direct cell migration in such environments remain unknown. Here, we show that a nonadhesive surface with asymmetric microgeometry consist...
متن کاملMicrogravity directs stem cell differentiation.
Stem cells are the cell of origin for organisms and their organs. These cells are critical for tissue regeneration, as well as regenerative medicine. Mechanical forces, such as gravity, have been demonstrated to provide important signals for stem cell fate. In fact, the absence of gravity, that is, microgravity, affects almost all aspects of human physiology, which has been partly attributed to...
متن کاملEmbryonic stem cell-derived neural progenitors transplanted to the hippocampus migrate on host vasculature.
This study describes the migration of transplanted ESNPs either injected directly into the hippocampus of a mouse, seeded onto hippocampal slices, or under in vitro culture conditions. We show that transplanted mouse ESNPs associate with, and appear to migrate on the surface of the vasculature, and that human ESNPs also associate with blood vessels when seeded on hippocampal slices, and migrate...
