We describe a simple and robust method to construct complex three-dimensional (3D)
structures by using short synthetic DNA strands that we call “DNA bricks.” In one-step annealing …

Engraftment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from adult bone marrow has been
proposed as a potential therapeutic approach for postinfarction left ventricular dysfunction. …

We investigated the kinetics of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) after intravascular
administration into SCID mouse cremaster vasculature by intravital microscopy. MSCs were …

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are widely used to construct nanometre-scale structures with
ever increasing complexity 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , with possible …

The ability of one structural type to perform multiple medical diagnostic or therapeutic
functions is often cited as an advantageous characteristic of nanomaterials that cannot be …

The ability to assemble functional materials with precise spatial arrangements is important
for applications ranging from protein crystallography to photovoltaics. Here, we describe a …

“Humanized” mice offer a window into aspects of human physiology that are otherwise
inaccessible. The best available methods for liver humanization rely on cell transplantation into …

The possible different therapeutic efficacy of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) derived
from umbilical cord blood (CB), adipose tissue (AT) or bone marrow (BM) for the treatment …

Though the majority of Americans report they are financially stable, they do not have sufficient
savings to handle an unplanned emergency. There appears to be a disconnect between …

The microenvironment plays a vital role in both the maintenance of stem cells in their
undifferentiated state (niche) and their differentiation after homing into new locations outside this …
