Fate Mapping of Dendritic Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous group of mononuclear phagocytes with versatile roles in immunity. They are classified predominantly based on phenotypic and functional properties, namely their stellate morphology, expression of the integrin CD11c, and major histocompatibility class II molecules, as well as their superior capacity to migrate to

Numb is not a critical regulator of Notch-mediated cell fate decisions in the developing chick inner ear. [PDF]
, 2015 The Notch signaling pathway controls differentiation of hair cells and supporting cells in the vertebrate inner ear. Here, we have investigated whether Numb, a known regulator of Notch activity in Drosophila, is involved in this process in the embryonic ...

, 2022 Fate decisions in developing tissues involve cells transitioning between discrete cell states, each defined by distinct gene expression profiles.The Waddington landscape, in which the development of a cell is viewed as a ball rolling through a valley ...

Notch promotes neural lineage entry by pluripotent embryonic stem cells [PDF]
, 2006 A central challenge in embryonic stem (ES) cell biology is to understand how to impose direction on primary lineage commitment. In basal culture conditions, the majority of ES cells convert asynchronously into neural cells.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2016 The complexity and plasticity of cell fate determination has intrigued cell and developmental biologists for decades. Cellular differentiation is the acquisition of specialized characteristics; which is intimately associated with changes in gene expression, alterations of chromatin, and changes in nuclear architecture. Differentiating tissues exhibit a

Capturing Transitional Pluripotency through Proline Metabolism
Cells, 2022 In this paper, we summarize the current knowledge of the role of proline metabolism in the control of the identity of Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs). An imbalance in proline metabolism shifts mouse ESCs toward a stable naïve-to-primed intermediate state of ...

Cell Stem Cell, 2011 Individuals carrying deleterious BRCA1 mutations typically develop basal-like rather than luminal breast cancers. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Proia et al. (2011) study breast tissue from women with heterozygous BRCA1 mutations and identify molecular mechanisms that regulate mammary progenitor cell differentiation and bias toward subsequent basal ...

Adding a dimension to cell fate [PDF]
Animal Reproduction, 2019 Cell fate specification, gene expression and spatial restriction are process finely tuned by epigenetic regulatory mechanisms. At the same time, mechanical forces have been shown to be crucial to drive cell plasticity and boost differentiation. Indeed, several studies have demonstrated that transitions along different specification states are strongly ...

Histone Variants: Guardians of Genome Integrity
Cells, 2020 Chromatin integrity is key for cell homeostasis and for preventing pathological development. Alterations in core chromatin components, histone proteins, recently came into the spotlight through the discovery of their driving role in cancer.
