Abstract
Mobilization is the biological phenomenon by which hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) transiently egress the bone marrow compartment and circulates in peripheral blood. The biological significance of this phenomenon is incompletely understood, although it is likely to be...

Abstract
Our recent in vitro study demonstrated that endothelial cells (ECs) might influence the differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe this effect in vivo, using a rat calvarial bone defect model. BMSCs were isolated from femurs of two-donor Le...

Abstract
We report that apo-cyclen, attached to a specific hIAPP recognition motif (NYGAIL), captured copper ions and became proteolytically active. This cyclen-NYGAIL-copper complex was able to interfere with hIAPP aggregation and cleave hIAPP. These activities rescued INS-1 cells from hIAPP induced cytotox...
