Expression of Sox2 alone was sufficient to induce neurogenesis without requirement for coexpression of a proneural transcription factor. This is surprising, as Sox2 function in neural stem cells is to promote self-renewal rather than neuronal differentiation (Graham et al., 2003; Pevny and Nicolis,

MSCs can express several WNT ligands (Cho et al., 2006; Etheridge et al., 2004). This endogenous WNT signaling may play a negligible role in MSC expansion, because we found no significant effects on cell proliferation or subsequent differentiation when endogenous WNT proteins were prevented. However

Many of the same pathways that trigger obesity-associated beta cell dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes may also contribute to graft failure following islet transplantation (Potter et al., 2014). Therefore, a potential caveat in replacing dysfunctional beta clofibrate with healthy insulin-

Heteroplasmy, mitochondrial segregation and disease In an individual with a mitochondrial disease, different cells or populations may have differing amounts of the mutant mitochondria, ranging from complete homoplasmy – individuals with all mutant mitochondrial DNA as occurs in Leigh\'s Syndrome

2018-10-20

Alternative approaches to LV are non-viral vectors such as RNA or DNA, which are considered safer due to their integration-free nature (Hardee et al., 2017). However, manufacturing RNA is expensive and difficult because RNA has a propensity to degrade (Yin et al., 2014). On the other hand, DNA plasm

The approach for stem cell identification utilized herein is functional, based on the relative quiescence and thus label retention property of stem Adrucil within a mixed epithelial population. Long-term 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) retention has been previously used to label stem cells in vivo a

Introduction The pluripotency-promoting role of the reprogramming factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and MYC (OSKM) is widely appreciated. However, these reprogramming factors also promote expression of non-pluripotency genes. For example, OCT4 (Pou5f1) directly promotes expression of genes important for mo

These data are in agreement with prior studies demonstrating that hyaluronan levels play a critical role in determining the site of HSC lodgment/engraftment following transplantation (Avigdor et al., 2004; Ellis et al., 2007, 2009, 2011; Nilsson et al., 2003), and that HSC exhibit preferential engra
