Studies on the behaviour of human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines, with particular reference to stem cells [PDF]
, 2010 PhDStem cell therapy represents a potential -cell replacement strategy in diabetes and a pancreatic cancer (PC) stem cell is an attractive therapeutic target in this dire disease. However, a normal stem cell remains unidentified and proposed malignant

Heterogeneity and plasticity of epidermal stem cells [PDF]
Development, 2014 The epidermis is an integral part of our largest organ, the skin, and protects us against the hostile environment. It is a highly dynamic tissue that, during normal steady-state conditions, undergoes constant turnover. Multiple stem cell populations residing in autonomously maintained compartments facilitate this task.

Lack of correlation of stem cell markers in breast cancer stem cells [PDF]
, 2014 Background:Various markers are used to identify the unique sub-population of breast cancer cells with stem cell properties. Whether these markers are expressed in all breast cancers, identify the same population of cells, or equate to therapeutic ...

Epidermal stem cell dynamics [PDF]
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2011 Wong and Reiter have explored the possibility that hair follicle stem cells can give rise to basal cell carcinoma (BCC). They expressed in mice an inducible human BCC-derived oncogenic allele of Smoothened, SmoM2, under the control of either the cytokeratin 14 (K14) or cytokeratin 15 (K15) promoter.

Slow Turning Lateral Vessel Bioreactor Improves Embryoid Body Formation and Cardiogenic Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells. [PDF]
, 2013 Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the ability to form aggregates, which are called embryoid bodies (EBs). EBs mimic early embryonic development and are commonly produced for cardiomyogenesis.

A positive regulatory loop between foxi3a and foxi3b is essential for specification and differentiation of zebrafish epidermal ionocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: Epidermal ionocytes play essential roles in the transepithelial transportation of ions, water, and acid-base balance in fish embryos before their branchial counterparts are fully functional.

Mechanisms regulating epidermal stem cells [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2012 The skin epidermis contains different appendages such as the hair follicle and the sebaceous glands. Recent studies demonstrated that several types of stem cells (SCs) exist in different niches within the epidermis and maintain discrete epidermal compartments, but the exact contribution of each SC populations under physiological conditions is still ...

Alp rose stem cells as cosmetic creams ingredient: Expected and established creams effects on the skin [PDF]
Arhiv za farmaciju, 2018 In the cosmetic industry, a frequent anti-aging approach is the protection of cells responsible for the continuous skin renewal and the maintenance of its barrier function - epidermal stem cells, using the secondary metabolites and epigenetic factors of ...

Effective use of mesenchymal stem cells in human skin substitutes generated by tissue engineering [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2019 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate toward epithelial cells and may be used as an alternative source for generation of heterotypical artificial human skin substitutes, thus, enhancing their development and translation potential to the clinic.

GENERATION OF MOUSE INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS BY PROTEIN TRANSDUCTION. [PDF]
, 2013 Somatic cell reprogramming has generated enormous interest after the first report by Yamanaka and his coworkers in 2006 on the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from mouse fibroblasts. Here we report the generation of stable iPSCs from
