The theory of branching processes is an area of mathematics that describes situations in
which an entity exists for a time and then may be replaced by one, two, or more entities of a …

Asymmetric division of stem cells is a highly conserved and tightly regulated process by
which a single stem cell produces two daughter cells and simultaneously directs the …

Capturing the dynamism that pervades biological systems requires a computational
approach that can accommodate both the continuous features of the system environment as …

In this study, we demonstrate that we can isolate stem cells (SCs) with neural crest
characteristics from the bulge area of cultured human hair follicles (HFs). These SCs can …

The objective of this paper is to give a review of the main works dealing with mathematical
modeling of blood cell formation, disorders and treatments within the past fifty years. From …

Background The balance between maintenance of the stem cell state and terminal
differentiation is influenced by the cellular environment. The switching between these states …

As a central regulator of cell polarity, the activity of CDC42 GTPase is tightly controlled in
maintaining normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSC/P) functions. We found that …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of direct contact between mesenchymal stromal cells
(MSCs) and CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells in terms of expansion potential …

The 'cardiosphere'is a 3D cluster of cardiac progenitor cells recapitulating a stem cell niche-
like microenvironment with a potential for disease and regeneration modelling of the failing …

A novel spatial multiscale model of a colonic crypt is described, which couples the cell cycle
(including cell division) with the mechanics of cell movement. The model is used to …
