1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) is a banned nematicide that has been shown to cause male infertility (Amann and Berndtson, 1986; Bjorge et al., 1995; Holme et al., 1991; Potashnik and Porath, 1995; Slutsky et al., 1999; Whorton et al., 1979). In exposed workers, DBCP is gonadotoxic resulting in a

Materials and methods Results Discussion It is known that mutation types of SOD1 affect not only enzymatic activity and protein half-life of SOD1, but also age at onset and the survival time of SOD1-ALS patients (Hayward et al., 2002) (Borchelt et al., 1994) (Regal et al., 2006). However, t

A microsatellite PCR profile has been obtained for the cell line, and HLA Class I and II typing is available (Table 2). Blood group genotyping gave the blood group O1O1 (Table 2). Verification and authentication The cell line was analysed for genome stability by G-banding (Fig. 3) and showed a n

Expression of pluripotency markers was examined by immunocytochemistry staining, using Dig-11-ddUTP against human OCT3/4, E-CADHERIN, and NANOG (Fig. 1A). The in vitro spontaneous differentiation potential towards the three germ layer of the BIOT-0726-LOAD iPSC line was demonstrated by the expressi

Sca-1−/− mice demonstrate deficiency in MMP activity and enhanced fibrosis in muscle (Kafadar et al., 2009). In addition, these mice develop insulin resistance and glucose intolerance when exposed to a HFD (Staszkiewicz et al., 2012). Recent studies suggest that Sca-1+ ligand gated ion channel in th

All iPSC-derived neurons demonstrated expression of functional neurotransmitter receptors, responding to glutamate/glycine, GABA and to a lower extend to acetylcholine. Interestingly, the neuronal cultures also developed synchronized spontaneous calcium oscillations, which were likely to reflect Pho

Unfortunately, exploration of the biochemical mechanisms that underlie germ cell specification and early PGC formation in the mammalian embryo is hampered by the scarcity of Mitiglinide Calcium at these early embryonic time points. In vitro derivation of PGCs from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) allows

These findings predict that Lgr5-CBCs must have a significantly shorter lifespan than the reserve ISCs; otherwise, an age-related accumulation of Lgr5-CBCs would result from the constant generation of CBCs from the reserve ISCs. Indeed, this finite lifespan of Lgr5-CBCs can be observed in prior stud

In conclusion, we have developed 11 metrics to characterize the structural phenotype of primary and stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes in a way that is biophysically related to their functional proficiency (Feinberg et al., 2012). Moreover, by engineering myocyte shape and tissue architecture, we were

In this study, we found that while zebrafish med14 mutant embryos were largely arrested in development, there was a surprisingly limited effect on overall transcription. Transplantation experiments demonstrated that Med14 function is largely dispensable for cell survival into adulthood. Loss of med1

Acute and transient MF activation

2018-10-20

Acute and transient MF activation is part of the body’s normal wound healing program, but persistent MFs contribute to fibrosis by excessively producing and contracting collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) into stiff scar tissue (Hinz et al., 2012). In turn, the stiffness of mature scar promotes m

The inhibition of differentiation has been considered to play a role in many types of tumor development through maintenance of the proliferating progenitor cell state. Previous studies demonstrated that the knockdown of EWS-FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma cell lines results in osteogenic, adipogenic and chond

2018-10-20

Whether LIF contributes to differentiation inhibition in rabbit PSCs is unclear. LIF and FGF2 cooperatively support self-renewal in ESCs derived from parthenogenotes and propagated in feeder-free conditions, but the effect of LIF is modest (Hsieh et al., 2011). In this study, AKSL and AKSgff cell li
