We further explored the ploidy levels of human SSCs with RA and SCF treatment by detecting DNA content. Notably, the percentage of haploid cantharidin was significantly increased in human SSCs by RA and SCF treatment, although spontaneous differentiation of SSCs into haploid cells was observed in c

Main Text There is a growing international market for unproven stem cell-based interventions advertised on a direct-to-consumer basis primarily over the internet, a phenomenon often referred to as “stem cell tourism” (Ryan et al., 2010; Levine and Wolf, 2012; Regenberg et al., 2009). Studies have e

Experimental Procedures Acknowledgments Introduction Master transcription regulators control the pluripotent gene expression in embryonic stem aldose reductase (ESCs) (Avilion et al., 2003; Chambers et al., 2003; Mitsui et al., 2003; Nichols et al., 1998). X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is

In summary, forward genetic analysis by piggyBac gain of function mutagenesis has multiple advantages complimenting genomic and biochemical methods and empowers individual investigators to functionally interrogate the human ES cell genome to elucidate mechanisms underlying biology, disease, and ther

Results Discussion In the two dry AMD patients and one SMD patient, increasing subretinal pigmentation developed at the hESC-RPE cell injection site as has been noted previously (Schwartz et al., 2012, 2015). In the second dry AMD patient and the second SMD patient, multiple spots of increased

Results The levels of TGFβ and downstream signaling mediators (activated SMAD2/3) increase in muscle of dystrophic mdx mice with age, correlating to reduced regeneration, angiogenesis and function, and higher fibrosis extent (Ardite et al., 2012; Kharraz et al., 2014; Mann et al., 2011; Vidal et

Results Discussion Two different lineages of BAs have been known. Classical BAs are derived from Myf-5 expressing common progenitors for myoblasts and BAs (Seale et al., 2008). The myoblastic precursors originate from the mesenchymal stem procollagen c proteinase (MSCs). PRDM16 is crucially i

As epigenetic regulatory mechanisms control DNA-templated activities, including gene transcription, we hypothesized that evaluating the nature and dynamics of epigenetic changes at gene regulatory regions during hepatocyte commitment of hESCs and comparing differences between HLCs and PHHs might ide
