In Vitro Modeling of Blood-Brain Barrier with Human iPSC-Derived Endothelial Cells, Pericytes, Neurons, and Astrocytes via Notch Signaling

Stem Cell Reports, 2017
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is composed of four cell populations, brain endothelial cells (BECs), pericytes, neurons, and astrocytes. Its role is to precisely regulate the microenvironment of the brain through selective substance crossing.

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 ...

Integrated Functions of Pax3 and Pax7 in the Regulation of Proliferation, Cell Size and Myogenic Differentiation [PDF]

, 2009
Pax3 and Pax7 are paired-box transcription factors with roles in developmental and adult regenerative myogenesis. Pax3 and Pax7 are expressed by postnatal satellite cells or their progeny but are down regulated during myogenic differentiation.

Commitment during stenotele differentiation in Hydra is localized near the S/G2 boundary in the terminal cell cycle [PDF]

, 1982
The timing of commitment during stenotele differentiation in Hydra was determined. Regeneration of isolated distal regions of the body column induces stenotele differentiation.

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.

NuMA regulates mitotic spindle assembly, structural dynamics and function via phase separation

Nature Communications, 2021
Mitotic spindle assembly is required for proper cell division, but many underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the authors show that NuMa undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation, condensing on spindle poles during mitotic entry and enriching ...

Chromatin remodeling enzyme Brg1 is required for mouse lens fiber cell terminal differentiation and its denucleation [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Brahma-related gene 1 (Brg1, also known as Smarca4 and Snf2 beta) encodes an adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP)-dependent catalytical subunit of the (switch/sucrose nonfermentable) (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes.

Regulation of boundary cap neural crest stem cell differentiation after transplantation [PDF]

, 2009
Success of cell replacement therapies for neurological disorders will depend largely on the optimization of strategies to enhance viability and control the developmental fate of stem cells after transplantation.

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 ...

Stem cell mechanobiology [PDF]

, 2010
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are capable of proliferation, self-maintenance and differentiation towards specific cell phenotypes. These processes are controlled by a variety of cues including physicochemical factors associated with the ...
