Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Meets Severe Combined Immunodeficiency [PDF]
Cell Journal, 2020 Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is classified as a primary immunodeficiency, which is characterized by impaired T-lymphocytes differentiation. IL2RG, IL7Ralpha, JAK3, ADA, RAG1/RAG2, and DCLE1C (Artemis) are the most defective genes in SCID.

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 ...

Sensory neurons do not induce motor neuron loss in a human stem cell model of spinal muscular atrophy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder leading to paralysis and early death due to reduced SMN protein. It is unclear why there is such a profound motor neuron loss, but recent evidence from fly and mouse studies indicate that ...

Embryos and embryonic stem cells from the white rhinoceros
Nature Communications, 2018 The Southern (SWR) and Northern (NWR) are two subspecies of the White Rhinoceros with the NWR being almost extinct. Here, using assisted reproduction technology, the authors produce and cryopreserve SWR purebred and NWR-SWR hybrid embryos developed to ...

A novel -mutated human induced pluripotent stem cell model for understanding -mutated tumors
Tumor Biology, 2020 A missense mutation of the guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha stimulating activity polypeptide 1 ( GNAS ) gene, typically Arg201Cys or Arg201His (R201H/R201C), leads to constitutive activation of the Gsα-cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway that ...

Histone deacetylase inhibitor valproic acid promotes the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into hepatocyte-like cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effects and mechanism of action of valproic acid on hepatic differentiation from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatic progenitor cells.

Cell reprogramming modelled as transitions in a hierarchy of cell cycles [PDF]
J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 50 (2017) 425601 (23pp), 2016 We construct a model of cell reprogramming (the conversion of fully differentiated cells to a state of pluripotency, known as induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs) which builds on key elements of cell biology viz. cell cycles and cell lineages. Although reprogramming has been demonstrated experimentally, much of the underlying processes governing ...
