Skin is the largest organ of the body with important protective functions, which become compromised with time due to both intrinsic and extrinsic ageing processes. Cellular senescence is the primary ageing process at cell level, associated with loss... Read More about How good is the evidence that cellular senescence causes skin ageing?.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that leads to skin fibrosis. Altered metabolism has recently been described in autoimmune diseases and SSc. Itaconate is a product of the Krebs cycle intermediate cis-aconitate and i...

Objective: Systemic Sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disease which results in fibrosis of the skin and lungs. The disease is characterized by activation of myofibroblasts but what governs this is unknown. Gremlin-1 is a BMP antagonist tha...

Various methods are currently used to investigate human tissue differentiation, including human embryo culture and studies utilising pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) such as in vitro embryoid body formation and in vivo teratoma assays. Each method has i... Read More about Using Advanced Cell Culture Techniques to Differentiate Pluripotent Stem Cells and Recreate Tissue Structures Representative of Teratoma Xenografts.
