A wide number of cells have been successfully cultured on 2D and 3D chitosan matrices envisaging cell-based regenerative therapies, among them keratinocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, hepatocytes, and Schwann cells [ 40, 64– 64].
I envisage cells enclosed by lipid membranes within which a well-developed, RNA-controlled metabolism was operating.
Except for some rare authors who still envisage the cell as a naked colloid network [ 4], there is nowadays little disagreement that membranes are essential parts of all contemporary cells.
This opens the possibility of envisaging a programmable cell that could be used for a variety of computational and medical purposes.
We envisage our cell-based broad-phase microarchitectures fabricated as part of an IC that would also execute the remainder of the interactive application program loop.
Moreover, it is possible to envisage electrosynthetic cells where water could be oxidised to produce protons and electrons at the anode which could then be used to reduce and protonate nitrogen to give ammonia at the cathode.
Given that DAZ represents a male-specific specialization of DAZL functions for meiotic entry, it can be envisaged that cells with DAZ methylation defects might not reach the seminiferous tubule lumen as the result of developmental arrest.
They are asked to envisage two cells, one of which is growing horizontally (i.e., along the x-axis) and the other of which is growing downward at an angle of 45° relative to the first (i.e., along both the x- and z-axes; Figure 3).
Some proposals for stem cell therapy with adult stem cells envisage taking a patient's stem cells, making them divide in the laboratory and putting them back in the patient to build new tissue.
We therefore generated human dendritic cells analogous to the ones successfully used in those NOD studies (6), concurrently targeting the expression of the same costimulatory molecules ex vivo, envisaging type 1 diabetes cell therapy.
We envisage the stem cell compartment is apparently radically but slightly less affected (74% decrease, Figure 7E) as it turns over more slowly than rapidly cycling progenitor cell populations.
