Pluripotent Stem Cells for Spinal Cord Injury Repair
Cells, 2021 Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition of the central nervous system that strongly reduces the patient’s quality of life and has large financial costs for the healthcare system.

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2014 Nuclear reprogramming technology was first established more than 50 years ago. It can rejuvenate somatic cells by erasing the epigenetic memories and reconstructing a new pluripotent order. The recent discovery reviewed here that induced pluripotency can be achieved by a small set of transcription factors has opened up unprecedented opportunities in ...

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2023 Background The incidence of bladder cancer (BCa) is approximately four times higher in men than in women. To develop effective BCa treatments, there is an urgent need to understand the differences in the BCa control mechanisms based on gender. Our recent

The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2019 Historically, it had been widely accepted that the female mammalian ovary contained a limited number of oocytes that would reduce over time, without the possibility of replenishment. However, recent studies have suggested that female germline stem cells (

Epigenetic impairments in development of parthenogenetic preimplantation mouse embryos
The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2018 Parthenogenesis is an activation process of oocytes that occur without the participation of sperm. Evidence suggests that normal development of embryos requires proper expression of several imprinted genes inherited from both the paternal and maternal ...

Cells, 2022 Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degradation pathway active at basal levels in all cells. However, under stress conditions, such as a lack of nutrients or trophic factors, it works as a survival mechanism that allows the generation of metabolic ...

Cellular reprogramming and cancer development [PDF]
International Journal of Cancer, 2012 AbstractCancer develops through the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic abnormalities. The role of genetic alterations in cancer development has been demonstrated by reverse genetic approaches. However, evidence indicating the functional significance of epigenetic abnormalities remains limited due to the lack of means to actively modify coordinated ...

Using single-cell entropy to describe the dynamics of reprogramming and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
, 2020 Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a great model to study the process of reprogramming and differentiation of stem cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables us to investigate the reprogramming process at single-cell level. Here, we introduce single-cell entropy (scEntropy) as a macroscopic variable to quantify the cellular ...

Epigenetic Control of Reprogramming and Cellular Differentiation [PDF]
Comparative and Functional Genomics, 2012 Recently, numerous interdisciplinary approaches that include integration of bioinformatics, epigenetics, and molecular and cellular biology have started to shed light on the complex dynamics that regulate cellular processes such as cell “stemness,” reprogramming, and differentiation.
