Syndecan-PDZ scaffolds in the molecular and functional heterogeneity of extracellular vesicles: the role of syntenin in ncRNA transfer KU Leuven
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerge as organelles supporting cell-to-cell communication over short or long distances. They contribute to various physiological and pathological processes. They contribute to various systemic diseases, in particular cancer, neurodegeneration and pathogen invasion. EVs are limited by a lipid bilayer, and can be released by any type of cell. They have the same topology as the cell and contain a mixture of genetic ...
iPSC Technology and Bone Regeneration KU Leuven
Bone is a calcified tissue with multiple functions. It allows movement by providing attachment points for skeletal muscle, supports haematopoiesis, stores minerals and protects soft tissues and organs. Additionally, bone has the unique capacity to regenerate upon damage without scar formation or loss of function.
Bone fracture repair recapitulates embryonic endochondral bone formation. This process is characterized by the formation of a ...
