With further coaxing, these progenitor cells spawned defensive cells such as neutrophils, basophils, and macrophages, which munch on bacteria and other invaders.
When the team incubates the machine in a solution containing heart cells, the cells attach to the exposed metal, and further coaxing causes these cells to develop into true muscles.
Now, a team of physicists and biologists have gone a key step further, coaxing a cell to envelop a tiny plastic sphere that acts like a resonant cavity shown in green in the micrograph above thus placing a whole laser within a cell.
Small hepatocytes were further coaxed to differentiate into mature hepatocyte-like cells, as identified by their morphological traits and strong expression of Ck8, Ck18, Cyp7a1, Hnf3b, Alb, Tat, Ttr, albumin, and CYP1A2 but not Ck7 or CK19.
Other researchers had gone this far, but Thomson went further: He coaxed the balky cells to continue growing without differentiating into specialized tissue cells.
Now, reported in today's Science, another team has gone further by coaxing atoms of another, less cooperative ilk, known as fermions, into a similar low-temperature quantum state.
International success is the way to coax further investment.
It grew out of the efforts of the major western brands, which dominate garment sales, to find new ways to coax further demand out of a saturated market.
Turkey questions the wisdom of imposing sanctions now, echoing the Chinese position that further negotiations might coax the Iranians to export some of their stockpile of uranium for further enrichment abroad, rather than enrich it themselves.
Next, Mr. Fallon's NBC colleague Brian Williams will attempt to coax further spontaneous utterances out of Mr. De Niro, the soft-spoken screen actor and co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival, at a one-on-one discussion that will be held as part of the festival's Tribeca Talks panel series, its organizers said on Wednesday.
