Human embryonic stem cells hESCs the in vitro representation

2018-10-20

Human embryonic stem ion channels (hESCs), the in vitro representation of the human epiblast (Thomson et al., 1998), enable unique access to the spontaneous emergence of the three embryonic germ layers in culture (Itskovitz-Eldor et al., 2000), providing an opportunity to model and manipulate the ea

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

2018-10-20

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
