For example, the endothelial tissue that lines the human gastrointestinal tract consists of several cell types. Some of these cells absorb nutrients from the digestive contents, whereas others ...

Addition of fucose to a cell-surface glycoprotein receptor demonstrates the power of glycan engineering to direct homing of adult stem cells to a tissue of choice. Stem cells hold great promise ...

Scientists who employ tissue dissociation aim to rapidly isolate high numbers of viable single cells from tissue aggregates and cellular debris with minimal damage to cell surface antigens. Obtaining ...
