More than 200 inmates escaped from a prison and at least one was killed in a shootout in Karachi, Pakistani, after they were moved out of their cells due to earthquake tremors, officials said.

The cell theory, first developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells. All cells come from preexisting cells.

On July 30, 2003, a team of Spanish and French scientists reversed time. They brought an animal back from extinction, if only to watch it become extinct again. The animal they revived was a kind ...

Schwann cells provide essential support for nerve growth and survival following peripheral nerve damage by producing various growth factors and other signalling molecules. Modulating the proliferation ...

CCK-8 assay for cell viability: RSC96 Schwann cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 5 × 10 3 cells per well and cultured in complete medium for 24 h. Then, the cells were treated for ...

Objective The impact of glia cells during GI carcinogenesis and in cancer pain is unknown. Here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism how Schwann cells (SCs) become activated in the pancreatic cancer (PCa ...
