miR-133a-3p and miR-145-5p co-promote goat hair follicle stem cell differentiation by regulating NANOG and SOX9 expression [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) differentiation is a critical physiological progress in skin hair follicle (HF) formation. Goat HFSCs differentiation is one of the essential processes of superior-quality brush hair (SQBH) synthesis.

Co-expression networks in generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
, 2016 We developed an adenoviral vector, in which Yamanaka's four reprogramming factors (RFs) were controlled by individual CMV promoters in a single cassette (Ad-SOcMK). This permitted coordinated expression of RFs (SOX2, OCT3/4, c-MYC and KLF4) in a cell for

The pluripotency rheostat Nanog functions as a dimer [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2008 The defining activity of the homeodomain protein Nanog is the ability to confer cytokine-independent self-renewal upon ES (embryonic stem) cells in which it is overexpressed. However, the biochemical basis by which Nanog achieves this function remains unknown. In the present study, we show that Nanog dimerizes through a functionally critical domain. Co-

Hypoblast Formation in Bovine Embryos Does Not Depend on NANOG
Cells, 2021 The role of the pluripotency factor NANOG during the second embryonic lineage differentiation has been studied extensively in mouse, although species-specific differences exist.

Focal adhesion kinase: Insight into molecular roles and functions in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
, 2017 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Due to the high incidence of post-operative recurrence after current treatments, the identification of new and more effective drugs is required.

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Stem cell marker (Nanog) and Stat-3 signaling promote MicroRNA-21 expression and chemoresistance in hyaluronan/CD44-activated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells. [PDF]
, 2012 MicroRNAs are often associated with the pathogenesis of many cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In particular, microRNA-21 (miR-21) appears to have a critical role in tumor cell survival, chemoresistance and HNSCC ...

Unveiling combinatorial regulation through the combination of ChIP information and in silico cis-regulatory module detection [PDF]
, 2012 Computationally retrieving biologically relevant cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) is not straightforward. Because of the large number of candidates and the imperfection of the screening methods, many spurious CRMs are detected that are as high scoring as ...

Thiolated Polymers in 3D Bioprinting: Control of Gelation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Thiolated polymers are established as programmable bioinks for 3D bioprinting, integrating versatile crosslinking chemistries with redox‐responsive control. This work demonstrates how molecular design and external triggers define gelation kinetics, printability windows, and structural fidelity, enabling stable, high‐resolution constructs and advancing ...
