As reported today in the journal PLoS Biology, during the late stages of development in mice, this fetal tissue — called the mesenchyme — secretes chemicals. Those chemicals enable insulin-producing ...

They did this by co-culturing hAEC2s with adult human lung mesenchyme. Mesenchyme tissue is responsible for the production of most of our body’s connective tissue, and, in the case of the lungs ...

Connective tissue growth factor expression maintains the epithelial phenotype of ovarian cancer in early epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Harry Ramos , Sandra Galoforo , Yuan You , Ira Seth Winer ...

Lee et al. isolated a type of multipotent mesenchymal stem cell from normal rat tendon, expanded the cells in culture, and then determined that by exposing the cells to connective-tissue growth ...

One promising strategy is the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs are capable of extensive self-renewal and adaptable to forming all kinds of connective tissues.
