Low-intensity vibration restores nuclear YAP levels and acute YAP nuclear shuttling in mesenchymal stem cells subjected to simulated microgravity
Matthew Thompson, Kali Woods, Joshua Newberg, Julia Thom Oxford, Gunes UzerAstronauts lose bone and muscle in space, partly because their cells become less responsive to mechanical forces. This study investigated if low-intensity vibration (LIV) could help counteract this effect in a lab setti…

Telocytes heterogeneity: From cellular morphology to functional evidence
Dragos Cretoiu, Beatrice Mihaela Radu, Adela Banciu, Daniel Dumitru Banciu, Sanda Maria CretoiuThis review discusses telocytes, a recently identified type of cell found throughout the connective tissue (stroma) of vertebrates. They are characterized by extremely long, thin extensions called telopodes, which form…

Depolarization alters phenotype, maintains plasticity of predifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells
Sarah Sundelacruz, Michael Levin, David L KaplanThis study investigates how bioelectric signaling influences mature cells derived from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Researchers found that by altering the electrical voltage of the cell membrane, known as depol…
