LUMINAL-CONTACT-INHIBITION OF EPITHELIAL BASAL STEM CELL MULTIPOTENCY IN PROSTATE ORGANOGENESIS AND HOMEOSTASIS

Luminal-contact-inhibition of epithelial basal stem cell multipotency in prostate organogenesis and homeostasis

Prostate epithelial basal cells are highly plastic in their luminal differentiation capability.Basal stem cells actively produce luminal cells during organogenesis, but become restricted in the adult prostate unless receiving oncogenic or inflammatory stimuli.Given that the number Pulses of luminal cells increases relative to basal cells through de

Nanotechnology in Plant Science: To Make a Long Story Short

This mini-review aims at gaining knowledge on basic aspects of plant nanotechnology.While in recent years the enormous progress of nanotechnology in biomedical sciences has revolutionized therapeutic and diagnostic approaches, the comprehension of nanoparticle-plant interactions, including uptake, mobilization and accumulation, is still in its infa

Scaling Contagious Disturbance: A Spatially-Implicit Dynamic Model

Spatial processes often drive ecosystem processes, biogeochemical cycles, and land-atmosphere feedbacks at the landscape-scale.Climate-sensitive disturbances, such as fire, land-use change, pests, and pathogens, often spread contagiously across the landscape.While the climate-change implications of these factors are often discussed, none of these p
