Search for the preadipocyte progenitor cell

Search for the preadipocyte progenitor cell.

An increase in adipocyte number is a major contributor to the increase in adipose tissue mass that is characteristic of obesity. The identity and regulation of the adipocyte precursor cell (or preadipocyte) and the preadipocyte precursor cell (or progenitor cell) have been intensely studied for many years. In this issue of the JCI, Crossno et al. report that progenitor cells originating from ou...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Endothelial Progenitor Cell Dysfunction in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications for The Genesis of Cardiovascular Diseases

Circulating progenitor cells: search for an identity.

Originally, the blood was viewed as a relatively simple tissue that was composed of plasma and a few subsets of immune, inflammatory, and erythrocytic cells. When Cohnheim published in 1867 his finding that “all cells come from the bloodstream and therefore . . . from the bone marrow,” this outstanding scientist of the nineteenth century could not anticipate the broad and far-reaching implicati...

Taste bud regeneration and the search for taste progenitor cells.

While the taste periphery has been studied for over a century, we are only beginning to understand how this important sensory system is maintained throughout adult life. With the advent of molecular genetics in rodent models, and the upswing in translational approaches that impact human patients, we expect the field will make significant advances in the near future.
