An important aspect of PSC research is their theoretical ability to be differentiated into any cell type, including fgf receptor inhibitor expressing tissue-specific silencing of paternal Gsα, as described for Gsα. However, for such studies, it is critical to fully control the differentiation of th

2018-10-20

Functional human endothelial cells differentiated from hPSCs could be beneficial for many potential clinical applications (Burridge et al., 2012; Kaupisch et al., 2012; Levenberg et al., 2002; van der Meer et al., 2013), including engineering new blood vessels, endothelial cell transplantation into

2018-10-20

Articular cartilage is highly lubricious. Lubricin encoded by the PRG4 gene and glycosaminoglycans contribute to maintaining the low friction of cartilage and directly inhibit cell adhesion (Englert et al., 2005). Therefore, since the hiPSC-derived particles expressed PRG4, it is reasonable that the

It was previously reported that Prx1-Cre expresses in the precursors of all brown and white adipocytes in 4- to 6-week-old mice (Calo et al., 2010). This report did not indicate which depots were examined, so we could not do a perfect comparison. Nevertheless, neither our study nor Krueger et al. (2

We have developed a protocol for the efficient differentiation of functional HLCs from hPSCs that does not require the addition of recombinant growth factors and is applicable to both hESCs and hiPSCs. During the development of the protocol, it came as a surprise to discover that pluripotent selecti

Of importance was our finding of changes in other PD-associated genes, including SNCA (Krüger et al., 1998; Polymeropoulos et al., 1997; Singleton et al., 2003; Zarranz et al., 2004). SNCA is a presynaptic protein and function in regulating synaptic vesicle and neurotransmitter release. Aggregates o

One of these closely related model organisms is the old world monkey Macaca (mulatta or fasicularis), which follows a Carnegie staging system that is highly correlated with the timing of human development, particularly in the beginning (Fig. 1). Notably, formation of the primitive streak in macaques

Cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from this patient were used for the generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) that harbour a “highest risk” RET mutation according to ATA guidelines, i.e. a 2753T>C missense de novo mutation at exon 16 leading to the most frequent M

Because freshly isolated hepatocytes rapidly lose their functions, it is a major challenge to generate fully functional hepatocytes from pluripotent stem cells. While hepatocytes derived from CPM+ LPCs expressed high levels of metabolic activity, the levels of some proteins are not as high as primar

A striking finding from this work is that, in serum-free conditions, chicken PGCs can survive and proliferate in the absence of stem cell factor (SCF). SCF (c-KIT ligand) is a requisite survival factor for mouse PGCs at early embryonic stages and for survival in short-term culture experiments (Gu et

Gpr65, or T cell death-associated gene 8 (Tdag8), is a proton/acid-activated GPCR (Choi et al., 1996; Wang et al., 2004). Whereas GPR65 had not been linked to HSPC transitions, it was reported to be a pro-apoptotic factor in glucocorticoid-induced lymphocyte apoptosis (Malone et al., 2004) and to re

As a marker of cochlear supporting cells, we assessed P27Kip1 localization in iCx26GJCs. P27Kip1 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that is thought to play a role in maintaining the postmitotic state of cochlear supporting Q-VD(OMe)-OPh manufacturer such as the Deiters\' cells and outer- and inn
