Renal capsule implantation of Lgr cells further supported

2018-10-20

Renal Talabostat mesylate implantation of Lgr5+ cells further supported the high repopulation capacity of single Lgr5+ cells within the regressed prostate. A limiting-dilution analysis indicated that every prostatic Lgr5+ cell could be a stem cell in regressed prostates, meaning that both luminal a

Introduction Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a ubiquitous membrane-bound glycoprotein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters at basic pH values. Examination of expression of ALP at intracellular and extracellular level is a widely-used procedure in both clinical practice and basic re

Reduction of heterogeneity during reprogramming is critical

2018-10-20

Reduction of heterogeneity during reprogramming is critical for revealing molecular roadmaps and precise mechanistic analysis. In this regard, the use of 2A peptides constituted a significant improvement (Carey et al., 2009; Kaji et al., 2009; Okita et al., 2008; Sommer et al., 2009; Yusa et al., 20

We sought to determine whether T cell-derived iPSCs (TiPSCs) could be used to analyze neurological diseases. Several issues regarding the utilization of TiPSCs in neurological studies remain unresolved. First, previous studies indicated that each iPSC clone retains an epigenetic memory relating to t

Further studies were carried out on miR-146a-5p, which is thought to be a mediator of inflammation, and a regulator of IL-6 and IL-8 and the expression of the immune receptors TLR2 and 4 (Taganov et al., 2006). TLRs are present on a range of non-immune cells, and a number (predominantly TLR2 and TLR

Below, we highlight what has been preserved and what is new in the 2016 ISSCR Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation. We also provide a window into our deliberations and describe key elements of the process from which these revised guidelines emerged. Specific recommendations emb

A better understanding of pluripotent state of zebrafish embryos allows us to accurately induce differentiation to cardiomyocytes from primary embryonic cells. A central feature of our method is the use of a combination of appropriate conditions including cell density, ZF4 feeder cells, and suppleme

In in vivo animal models, we observed no rejection signs in the iPS-RPE allografts of MHC-matched monkeys (DrpZ1 and DrpZ17); for example, fundus photographs revealed no exudation, FA showed no vascular leakage of fluorescein, and OCT indicated there was no retinal edema around the transplanted RPE
