Cryopreserved bone marrow aspirate concentrate as a cell source for the colony-forming unit fibroblast assay [PDF]
The prevalence of connective tissue progenitor cells within a cell-based therapy is often quantified using the colony-forming unit fibroblast (CFU-F) assay. The present study investigates the feasibility of using cryopreserved bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) as an alternative cell source to fresh BMAC for CFU-F quantification.Freshly prepared ...

The Efficiency of the Assay for Haemopietic Colony Forming Cells [PDF]
The quantitative efficiency of the spleen colony assay in mice is discussed in the light of recent findings on the kinetics of colony forming cells. Arguments are presented showing that the f factor, the 2 hr CFU recovery fraction in the spleen, markedly

Haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are used for transplantation to reconstruct the haematopoietic pathways in humans receiving severe chemotherapy. However, the characteristics of canine HSPCs, such as specific surface antigens and gene expression profiles, are still unclear. This study aimed to characterise the haematopoietic ability and

Mechanisms of growth inhibition of primary prostate epithelial cells following gamma irradiation or photodynamic therapy including senscence, necrosis, and autophagy, but not apoptosis [PDF]
In comparison to more differentiated cells, prostate cancer stem-like cells are radioresistant, which could explain radio-recurrent prostate cancer. Improvement of radiotherapeutic efficacy may therefore require combination therapy.

Disruption of HOX activity leads to cell death that can be enhanced by the interference of iron uptake in malignant B cells. [PDF]
The HOX genes encode a family of transcription factors that are dysregulated in several malignancies and have been implicated in oncogenesis and cancer cell survival.

A quantitative assay for transformation of bone marrow cells by Abelson murine leukemia virus [PDF]
A quantitative Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) lymphoid cell transformation assay has been developed using a semisolid agarose culture system. Under these conditions lymphoid cell transformation was shown to vary linearly with the dose of A-MuLV ...

Histone deacetylase 3 gene in hematopoietic stem cells promotes mouse lymphogenesis
Objective To investigate the role of histone deacetylase 3 gene (Hdac3) in hematopoiesis by developing a conditional Hdac3 knockout mice. Methods We crossed the Hdac3floxp/floxp mice with Mx1-Cre mice to generate Hdac3fl/flMx1-Cre mice, and then ...
