We hypothesized that nanotopography modulates the behavior and function of macrophages and foam cells without bioactive agent.
Science is an effective, practical, and reliable way of knowing about the physical universe, but we make a mistake when we ask our science to give us more than descriptions of the structure, behavior, and function of the universe.
Recent studies revealed that stromal cells play a critical role in the formation of tissue microenvironment by producing various factors and control over the behavior and function of immune cells.
Homing behavior and function of autoimmune CD4+ T cells in vivo was analyzed before and during EAE, using MBP-specific T cells retrovirally engineered to express the gene of green fluorescent protein.
Any perturbation of these orchestrated interactions can cause abnormality in behavior and function of tissue and often lead to initiation of tumor growth and invasion [14] [15].
In other words, for any biological process, one might consider a 'modular approach' in which the behavior and function of the corresponding network are studied as a whole, in addition to studying some of its components individually [11].
At the tissue level, ecdysone signaling appears important to maintaining the proper behavior and function of the somatic CySC's lineage in the adult testis.
Accordingly, we have established an experimental paradigm that combines traumatic neural injury and multiparametric intravital microscopy in zebrafish to study in detail the behavior and function of Schwann cells during the repair of a sensory circuit.
