Crosstalk between the osteogenic and neurogenic stem cell niches: how far are they from each other?
(2016)
Somatic stem cells reside in definite compartments, known as “niches”, within developed organs and tissues, being able to renew themselves, differentiate and ensure tissue maintenance and repair. In contrast with the ...
Bioinformatics of Non-Coding RNAs with Applications to Biomedicine: Recent Advances and Open Challenges
(2017)
The recent discovery of small and long non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has represented a major breakthrough in the life sciences. These molecules add a new layer of complexity to biological processes and pathways by revealing a ...
Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue: Formation; Function; and Impact on Health and Disease
(2017)
Adipocytes are a major component of the bone marrow, accounting for up to 70% of total bone marrow volume in healthy humans. Indeed, this bone marrow adipose tissue (often referred to as ‘MAT’ or ‘BMAT’) accounts for at ...
Bone Marrow T Cells at the Center Stage in Immunological Memory
(2017)
Increasing evidence supports the notion that bone marrow (BM) represents a relevant player in T cell responses, particularly in its role as a specialized organ for long-term memory. Memory T cells are enriched in the BM ...
The Brassicaceae Agri-Horticultural and Environmental Perspectives
(2018)
This Frontiers Research Topic "The Brassicaceae- Agri-Horticultural and Environmental Perspectives" is an effort to provide a common platform to agronomists, horticulturists, plant breeders, plant geneticists/molecular ...
Computational Methods for Understanding Complexity: The Use of Formal Methods in Biology
(2016)
The complexity of living organisms surpasses our unaided habilities of analysis. Hence, computational and mathematical methods are necessary for increasing our understanding of biological systems. At the same time, there ...
Building the gateway to consciousness - about the development of the thalamus
(2015)
Since years, patterning and function of some brain parts such as the cortex in the forebrain and the optical tectum or cerebellum in the midbrain/hindbrain region are under strong investigation. Interestingly the diencephalon ...
Cortico-cortical Communication Dynamics
(2014)
Neurons communicate by sending action potentials down their axons and release neurotransmitter at the synapses with target neurons in nearby or remote regions. Although we know the approximate connectivity of cortico-cortical ...
Critical Earthquake Response of Elastic-Plastic Structures Under Near-Fault Ground Motions: Closed-Form Approach via Impulse Input
(2016)
The specialty section Earthquake Engineering is one branch of Frontiers in Built Environment and welcomes critical and in-depth submissions on earthquake ground motions and their effects on buildings and infrastructures. ...
Criticality as a signature of healthy neural systems: multi-scale experimental and computational studies
(2015)
Since 2003, when spontaneous activity in cortical slices was first found to follow scale-free statistical distributions in size and duration, increasing experimental evidences and theoretical models have been reported in ...
