Prostate cancer is one of the leading indications affecting men today, with an estimated 1 in 9 men diagnosed in their lifetime. Significant effort is being put behind understanding the biology of the male prostate and studying the mechanisms that drive tumorigenesis in hopes of finding ways to mitigate cancer progression or to identify potential…

Lifeline Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells in Covid-19 Research The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 has dramatically changed the world we live in today. Considerable resources in the medical and scientific communities are being put into understanding its mechanism of action, which can provide insight into new treatments, diagnostic tests, and vaccine options.

Human Fibroblasts: Important Cells in Wound Healing and Inflammation Fibroblasts are the most common cell type comprising the connective tissue in humans and other mammals. These spindle-shaped cells synthesize extracellular matrix proteins that provide the structural framework, or stroma, for animal tissues. Besides their well-known structural role, fibroblasts are important in the wound healing response…

Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Multipotent Multitaskers Mesenchymal stem cells can be found in multiple tissues, including adipose, bone marrow, and Wharton’s Jelly—part of the umbilical cord. They are multipotent, which means they can differentiate into multiple cell lineages, including osteocytes (bone), adipocytes (fat), and chondrocytes (cartilage). Due to their multipotent nature and their ease of isolation,…
