Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is a pleiotropic and autosomal dominant condition caused by pathogenic variants in FBN1. Although fully penetrant, clinical variability is frequently observed among patients and there are only few genotype-phenotype correlations ...

Inter-species Transplantation of Blastocysts between Medaka and Zebrafish
Transplantation of blastocysts from a donor to a host blastula constitutes a powerful experimental tool to tackle major developmental biology questions. The technique is widely implemented in diverse biological models including teleost fish, where it is ...

AbstractThe capacity of embryonic stem cells for virtually unlimited self‐renewal and differentiation capacity has opened up the prospect of widespread applications in biomedical research and regenerative medicine. For the latter, the cells provide hope that it will be possible to overcome the problems of donor tissue shortage and also, by making the ...

Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis for the syndrome, we genetically modified the FBN1 gene in a line of induced ...

Hypertension is a complex multifactorial disease characterized by a chronic increase of arterial pressure. Ninety percent of the cases are idiopathic and thus classified as essential hypertension. Uncontrolled arterial pressure has devasting consequences

Abstract. Embryonic stem cells have huge potential in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine as they hold the capacity to produce every type of cell and tissue in the body. In theory, the treatment of human disease could be revolutionized by the ability to generate any cell, tissue, or even organ, ‘on demand’ in the laboratory. This

Embryonic Stem Cells in Cattle [PDF]
ContentsBecause of the potential use of embryonic stem cells (ESC), especially for genetic modifications, there is great interest in establishing domestic animals‐related ESCs. Unfortunately, despite considerable efforts, validated ESC lines in species other than mice and primates are yet to be isolated.

Chicken embryonic stem cells as a non‐mammalian embryonic stem cell model [PDF]
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were isolated in the early 1980s from mouse and in the late 1990s from primate and human. These cells present the unique property of self‐renewal and the ability to generate differentiated progeny in all embryonic lineages both in vitro and in vivo.

BackgroundEctopic lipid deposition plays a promoting role in many chronic metabolic diseases. Abnormal adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is an important cause of lipid deposition in organs.

In mammals, dosage compensation of X-linked gene expression between males and females is achieved by inactivation of a single X chromosome in females, while upregulation of the single active X in males and females leads to X:autosome dosage balance ...
