Published: January 1995

Two cases of colonic carcinomas with multidirectional differentiation are presented. Both tumors showed light microscopic and immunohistochemical evidence of areas of adenocarcinomatous, squamous cell carcinomatous, and neuroendocrine differentiation. Only six similar cases have been previously reported. These highly malignant tumors support the recent concept of a multipotential stem cell within the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract capable of differentiation in several directions.

This paper explores a multi-directional (multiple directional) shearing synchronous polarization phase-shifting interferometer that utilizes a birefringent crystal displacer. This design effectively mitigates nonlinear issues and environmental influences commonly encountered in synchronous phase-shifting interferometry. Additionally, it enables the acquisition of shear wavefront information from multiple directions.

Purpose: Treatment of severe burn wound injury remains a significant clinical challenge as serious infections/complex repair process and irregulating inflammation response. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have a multidirectional differentiation potential and could repair multiple injuries under appropriate conditions. Poly(L-lysine)-graft-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (PLL-g-HPA) hydrogel is an enzyme-promoted biodegradable in hydrogel with good water absorption, biocompatibility and anti-bacterial properties.

Dental pulp regeneration is significantly aided by human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are crucial in the multidirectional differentiation of many mesenchymal stem cells, but their specific functions and mechanisms remain unknown. This work aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanism by which hsa_circ_0001599 works in hDPSCs during odontogenic differentiation.

Direct Observation of Dipole Interlocking Effect Occurrence in Two-Dimensional Ferroelectricity.

The electric dipole in materials is closely associated with their electronic transport, optical properties, and mechanical behavior. Here, we have employed the differential phase contrast (DPC) technique of the scanning transmission electron microscopy technique (STEM) to directly analyze the local electric dipole at the sub-Angstrom scale. By utilizing DPC-STEM technology, we successfully visualized the ferroelectric polarization of van der Waals material 3R α-InSe and directly confirmed the dipole interlocking effect (DIE) between in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) polarizations.

[Clinical progress in stem cell therapy for end-stage liver disease].

End-stage liver disease includes liver failure and decompensated cirrhosis resulting from various etiologies and often leads to patient mortality due to complications and clinical symptoms such as severe jaundice, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, coagulopathy, and hepatorenal syndrome. Liver transplantation is currently regarded as the most effective treatment, but its clinical application is limited by the shortage of donors, elevated expenses, and post-transplant rejection. Stem cells are a group of cells with multidirectional differentiation potential and self-renewal ability, which can improve the clinical indicator outcomes through mechanisms such as immunoregulation and promotion of tissue repair in patients with end-stage liver disease.
