Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a collective term for nanoscale or microscale vesicles
secreted by cells that play important biological roles. Mesenchymal stem cells are a class of …

Plastic surgery is a discipline that uses surgical methods or tissue transplantation to repair,
reconstruct and beautify the defects and deformities of human tissues and organs. Three …

The aim of this meta-analysis was to estimate the diagnostic performance of shear wave
elastography (SWE) in differentiating malignant from benign breast lesions. A literature …

This work reports on the toxicity of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) to maize (Zea mays L.) and their
transport and redistribution in the plant. CuO NPs (100 mg L–1) had no effect on …

The present, updated document describes the fourth iteration of recommendations for the
hepatic use of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), first initiated in 2004 by the European …

Background—Recent studies have shown that stem cell therapy can promote tissue
regeneration; however, monitoring stem cells in vivo remains problematic owing to …

Antidiabetic medication may modulate the gut microbiota and thereby alter plasma and
faecal bile acid (BA) composition, which may improve metabolic health. Here we show that …

Teratoma formation is a critical obstacle to safe clinical translation of human embryonic stem
(ES) cell-based therapies in the future. As current methods of isolation are unable to yield …

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can serve as a potentially limitless source of cells that
may enable regeneration of diseased tissue and organs. Here we investigate the use of …

Background—Embryonic stem (ES) cells are distinguished by their capacity for self-renewal
and pluripotency. Here we characterize the differentiation of ES cell–derived endothelial …
