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

The present study showed that transplantation of iBAs and dBAs markedly reduced diet-induced obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance in mice (Figures 2, 6, and 7). The dBAs controlled insulin resistance in an UCP1-dependent fashion, strongly suggesting the UCP1-mediated energy expenditure as t

We have explored the possibility of using the cardiac MSCs

We have explored the possibility of using the cardiac MSCs of the human fetal heart for expansion of Manumycin A with characteristics similar to those of mesenchymal progenitors that contribute to mammalian cardiogenesis. In this study cardiac MSCs were reproducibly recovered from the adherent cell

Pitavastatin a hydroxy methyl glutaryl coenzyme A HmG

2018-10-20

Pitavastatin, a 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HmG-CoA) reductase inhibitor, was cytotoxic only to undifferentiated NPCs, whereas another HmG-CoA reductase inhibitor, cilastatin, had no effect. Similarly, 5-FU was substantially more toxic to undifferentiated cultures and resulted in nearly

To evaluate the therapeutic function of iLCs in vivo

2018-10-20

To evaluate the therapeutic function of iLCs in vivo, we used two types of animal models, androgen deficiency and partial androgen deficiency syndrome, with complete loss of LCs in EDS-treated rat testis and partial loss of LCs in EDS-treated mice testis. Compared with other organs, testis is immuno
