The Nikon Eclipse E800 upright microscope (Melivile, NY, United States) was used to image the stained sections. Antibody specifications can be found in Table S2. Western blot to examine the GATA4 ...

Sharks don’t have bones. Instead, their skeletons are made from mineralized cartilage that helps them constantly move through water. To understand the internal “sharkitecture” that helps keep these ...

Rapid tissue analysis Multiphoton microscopy images of (left to right) adipose tissue, cartilage and lymphoid tissue (each image is 400 x 400 µm). The adipose tissue image shows large adipocytes (fat ...

eLife Assessment. This valuable manuscript by Jia et al. investigates the role of cartilage intermediate layer protein (CILP) and moderate exercise in maintaining hyaline cartilage integrity following ...

Cartilage is one of the most important tissues in mammalian growth and is classified into three types: hyaline, fibro, and elastic. To illustrate its potential as a clinical diagnostic tool, nonlinear ...

(Image credit: Plikus lab, University of California, Irvine) In the 1850s, histologist Franz von Leydig wrote about his observations of rats' ear cartilage under the microscope.

Two innovative new developments out of the same laboratory have demonstrated that degraded cartilage can be repaired and regrown, first by using "dancing molecules" to target the proteins needed ...
