Induced dopaminergic neurons: A new promise for Parkinson’s disease

Redox Biology, 2017
Motor symptoms that define Parkinson’s disease (PD) are caused by the selective loss of nigral dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Cell replacement therapy for PD has been focused on midbrain DA neurons derived from human fetal mesencephalic tissue, human ...

Human Germ Cell Differentiation from Pluripotent Embryonic Stem Cells and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

, 2014
Although 10-15 % of couples are infertile, little is known of the diverse, underlying pathologies in men and women with poor germ cell production; furthermore, for those with few or no high-quality germ cells, there are few options available for treatment.

Induced pluripotent stem cells for modelling human diseases [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011
Research into the pathophysiological mechanisms of human disease and the development of targeted therapies have been hindered by a lack of predictive disease models that can be experimentally manipulated in vitro .

Iron overload inhibits self‐renewal of human pluripotent stem cells via DNA damage and generation of reactive oxygen species

FEBS Open Bio, 2020
Iron overload affects the cell cycle of various cell types, but the effect of iron overload on human pluripotent stem cells has not yet been reported. Here, we show that the proliferation capacities of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced

Probing the secrets of Alzheimer's disease using human-induced pluripotent stem cell technology. [PDF]

, 2014
Our understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is still incomplete and, as a result, we lack effective therapies. Reprogramming to generate human-induced pluripotent stem cells provides a new approach to the generation of human neurons that carry the ...

Autologous correction in patient induced pluripotent stem cell-endothelial cells to identify a novel pathogenic mutation of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is a rare disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. More than 80% hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia patients carry heterozygous mutations of Endoglin or Activin receptor-like kinase-1 genes.

Differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from dissociated monolayer and feeder-free cultured pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Oligodendrocytes myelinate axons and form myelin sheaths in the central nervous system. The development of therapies for demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis and leukodystrophies, is a challenge because the pathogenic mechanisms of ...

Improving and accelerating the differentiation and functional maturation of human stem cell-derived neurons: role of extracellular calcium and GABA [PDF]

, 2016
Neurons differentiated from pluripotent stem cells using established neural culture conditions often exhibit functional deficits. Recently, we have developed enhanced media which both synchronize the neurogenesis of pluripotent stem cell-derived neural ...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Human Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells [PDF]

Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2012
Reprogramming of somatic cells into inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provides an alternative to using embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Mesenchymal stem cells derived from human hair follicles (hHF-MSCs) are easily accessible, reproducible by direct plucking of human hairs. Whether these hHF-MSCs can be reprogrammed has not been previously reported.

Our Bodies, Our Cells: FDA Regulation of Autologous Adult Stem Cell Therapies [PDF]

, 2013
Stem cells have been an endless source of fascination and controversy since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1996. This month’s announcement of a cloned human embryo from a single skin cell came on the heels of Sir John B. Gurdon and Dr.
