Epithelial stem arginase inhibitor in the mammary microenvironment may be exposed to abnormally high levels of BMP2 over a prolonged period. Simultaneously, epithelial cells, including stem cells, may accumulate genetic alterations that increase their susceptibility to transforming agents, such as a

Conclusions Whilst it is clear that RNA-binding proteins play crucial roles in regulating oogenesis, understanding the functions of these proteins relies on identifying the RNA targets they bind and regulate. Given the relative promiscuity of RNA-binding proteins, it seems likely that the fertili

The seemingly shared ability of independently evolved (Extavour and Akam, 2003; Ewen-Campen et al., 2010) maternal germ plasm regulators to engage multiple proteins and RNA partners provide new insight and testable models for mechanisms by which germ plasm assembly, mitochondrial recruitment and Bal

Results Discussion The self-renewal capacity of erythroid progenitors is an important component of current protocols to generate cultured RBCs for potential therapeutic purposes. However, a major obstacle in generating the 2.5 × 1012 RBCs that constitutes a single unit of blood is the limited

In this work, we developed multiple tools to interrogate this autocrine and paracrine signaling loop involving α-5 laminin production by hPSCs. The use of the inducible short hairpin lines allowed us to control the dynamics of α-5 laminin production in a reversible manner. However, the interpretatio

Several approaches exist to prevent allogeneic cell transplantation-related immune rejection. One is immune suppression therapy using a combination of several different types of immunosuppressants. Others are the use of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-matched donor cells to reduce immunogenic

We speculate that ROS reduction has an important, but not exclusive, regulatory role in the cAMP-mediated maintenance of HSC-like cells. Moreover, cAMP-mediated ROS/p38 reduction and increased CXCR4 receptor expression provide a correlational benefit to HSC-like cells, as low ROS levels specifically

2018-10-20

mSSCs can be maintained and genetically manipulated in vitro over extensive periods, providing a valuable resource for in vitro studies of meiosis and post-meiotic development (Kanatsu-Shinohara et al., 2003; Kubota et al., 2004). In the past decade, this culture system has been used to identify key

2018-10-20

miRNAs are known to regulate the expression of multiple targets via binding to 3′ UTR. Our finding that the miR-29 family regulates global DNA methylation and demethylation adds another role to the list of common regulatory roles of miRNAs. The miR-29 family was known to regulate ECM proteins in phy

Our results show that anterior NPCs can give rise to GnRH-expressing 3X FLAG tag when cultured with FGF8, which has been shown to promote progenitor cell survival in the anterior neural structures (Forni et al., 2013; Kawauchi et al., 2005). In mouse anterior neural ridge, FGF8 has been shown to po

RPE cell-associated allografts have been considered for the treatment of ocular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We successfully established human RPE LY294002 from human iPSCs (Kamao et al., 2014; Sugita et al., 2015). In addition, we recently transplanted an iPSC-derived R
