background: micropatterning is becoming a powerful tool for studying cells in vitro. this method not only uses very small amount of material but also mimic the microenvironment structure present in living tissues better than flask culturing techniques. in previous studies using micropatterning of extracellular matrix proteins on glass surfaces, the rate of protein detachment from the surface wa...

context stem cells have the potential to generate a renewable source of cells for regenerative medicine due to their ability to self-renew and differentiate to various functional cell types of the adult organism. the extracellular microenvironment plays a pivotal role in controlling stem cell fate responses. therefore, identification of appropriate environmental stimuli that supports cellular p...

The in vivo stem cell microenvironment or niche is composed of an intricate blend of extracellular matrix proteins, soluble protein factors, immobilized protein factors, proteoglycans, small molecule signals, in some cases mineralized tissue, and numerous adjacent cell types, all of which likely vary in space and time. In concert, these many components present the cells with an ‘array’ of bioch...

spinal cord injury (sci) actuate to complex cellular and molecular interactions within the central nervous system in a heave to repair the initial tissue damage. the pathophysiology of acute spinal cord injury (sci) involves primary and secondary mechanisms. neuroinflammation is an important secondary injury process in sci. the local inflammatory microenvironment within the injured spinal cord ...

Background: Papilloma viruses are pathogenic double-strand DNA viruses that genotypes 16 and 18 are the cause of more than 50 percent of cancers as cervical cancer. Although vaccination is one of the best options for the papilloma cancer prevention but that is the most of world healthy problem, it is attempted to evaluate both naloxone (NLX) and alum mixture used as adjuvants together with HPV1...
