    Mesenchymal stem cells are capable of regenerative and immunomodulatory functions in cell-based therapies in a variety of human diseases and injuries; however, their therapeutic efficacy and potential side effects remain major obstacles in clinical applications. We report here a 3D spheroid culture approach to optimize stem cell properties and therapeutic effects of human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells in mitigation of experimental oral mucositis. Under growth condition of ultra-low atta…Read more

    White Cells Facilitate Opposite- and Same-Sex Mating of Opaque Cells in Candida albicans
    with L. Tao, C. Cao, W. Liang, G. Guan, C. J. Nobile, and G. Huang
    © 2014 Tao et al.Modes of sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms are extremely diverse. The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans undergoes a phenotypic switch from the white to the opaque phase in order to become mating-competent. In this study, we report that functionally- and morphologically-differentiated white and opaque cells show a coordinated behavior during mating. Although white cells are mating-incompetent, they can produce sexual pheromones when treated with pheromones of the o…Read more
