When we look at the awe-inspiring architecture of life at the cellular level, one of the most intriguing and essential features is the cytoskeleton. This dynamic network of protein filaments provides structure, facilitates movement, and enables intracellular transport. Advances in technology have revolutionized our understanding of the cytoskeleton and have expanded the possibilities of ...
The three main components of tissue engineering applications are scaffold, cell and growth-stimulating signals. Collagen has been widely used in the clinical field due to its abundance in nature, biocompatibility, low antigenicity and biodegradability. In addition, the high tensile strength and fibril-forming ability of collagen enable it to be made into various forms such as tissue grafts, ...
In the evolutionary history of vertebrates, the emergence of myelin has made the transmission of neural signals much faster, and if humans evolve like invertebrate squid, the vertebral diameter of humans may be thicker than that of giant red fir trees. Insulating myelin sheaths encapsulate nerve axons, thereby allowing rapid conduction of action potentials between neurons, and in addition, myelin ...
Summary Hypoxia is defined as oxygen deficiency in cellular environments. Oxygen (O2) deficiency within in vivo environments is commonly linked to a wide range of co-morbidities, e.g., respiratory failure, Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and other life threatening ailments (Reference Section; 2, 6). However, certain cell types thrive in low-O2 environments. Angiogenesis and tumor progression ...

Abstract Hypoxia workstations are utilized by researchers who require stable and accurate low oxygen environments for their research. Oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity are precisely controlled within the work area of the workstation to simulate an in vivo environment and create optimal conditions for the experiment. Hypoxia workstations are closed glove boxes. They allow air from ...
