Native fluorescence, or autofluorescence (AF), consists in the emission of light in the UV-
visible, near-IR spectral range when biological substrates are excited with light at suitable …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that show self-renewal, multi-
directional differentiation, and paracrine and immune regulation. As a result of these …

Plasticity in energy metabolism allows stem cells to match the divergent demands of self-
renewal and lineage specification. Beyond a role in energetic support, new evidence …

The rate of glycolytic metabolism changes during differentiation of human embryonic stem
cells (hESCs) and reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency. However, the functional …

Extensively revised, the fourth edition of this highly successful book takes into account the
many newly determined protein structures that provide molecular insight into chemiosmotic …

Cancer cells are typically subject to profound metabolic alterations, including the Warburg
effect wherein cancer cells oxidize a decreased fraction of the pyruvate generated from …

Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process by which cytoplasmic components are
sequestered in autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for degradation. As a major …

Recent studies link changes in energy metabolism with the fate of pluripotent stem cells
(PSC s). Safe use of PSC derivatives in regenerative medicine requires an enhanced …

The importance of mitochondria in energy metabolism, signal transduction and aging in post-
mitotic tissues has been well established. Recently, the crucial role of mitochondrial-linked …

Cancer stem cells (CSC s) and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)‐type cells are
considered as underlying causes of chemoresistance, tumour recurrence and metastasis in …
