Dendritic Cell Differentiation [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2004 Dauer et al. ([1][1]) presented a method to differentiate CD14+ cells into mature dendritic cells (DC) within 48 h (FastDC). FastDC displayed a DC-like morphology, down-regulated CD14, and induced proliferation of autologous T cells against soluble Ags as efficiently as standard monocyte-derived ...

MicroRNAs regulate T-cell production of interleukin-9 and identify hypoxia-inducible factor-2a as an important regulator of T helper 9 and regularoty T-cell differentiation [PDF]
, 2016 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate many aspects of helper T cell (Th) development and function. Here we found that they are required for the suppression of interleukin‐9 (IL‐9) expression in Th9 cells and other Th subsets. Two highly related miRNAs (miR‐15b and

Ghrelin and cell differentiation [PDF]
Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2008 Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, is a gastric hormone that has been found to have a wide variety of biological functions. This review summarizes our current understanding of the effects of ghrelin on cell differentiation and tissue development, with an emphasis on the lineage determination of mesenchymal stem ...

Genome and epigenome analysis of monozygotic twins discordant for congenital heart disease
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading non-infectious cause of death in infants. Monozygotic (MZ) twins share nearly all of their genetic variants before and after birth.

Role of PDLIM1 in hepatic stellate cell activation and liver fibrosis progression
Scientific Reports, 2023 Liver fibrosis is caused by chronic hepatic injury and may lead to cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma. When hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are activated by liver injury, they transdifferentiate into myofibroblasts, which secrete extracellular ...

Quantitative microscopy of the Drosophila ovary shows multiple niche signals specify progenitor cell fate. [PDF]
, 2017 Adult stem cells commonly give rise to transit-amplifying progenitors, whose progeny differentiate into distinct cell types. It is unclear if stem cell niche signals coordinate fate decisions within the progenitor pool.

Modelling Torsade de Pointes arrhythmias in vitro in 3D human iPS cell-engineered heart tissue
Nature Communications, 2017 Torsade de Pointes (TdP) is a life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia often caused by drugs. In response to an urgent need for human tissue TdP models, here the authors describe a 3D human iPS cell-engineered heart tissue that generates TdP in response ...
