Nestin expression in osteosarcomas and derivation of nestin/CD133 positive osteosarcoma cell lines [PDF]
Background Nestin was originally identified as a class VI intermediate filament protein that is expressed in stem cells and progenitor cells in the mammalian CNS during development.

Nestin expression in the cell lines derived from glioblastoma multiforme [PDF]
Background Nestin is a protein belonging to class VI of intermediate filaments that is produced in stem/progenitor cells in the mammalian CNS during development and is consecutively replaced by other intermediate filament proteins (neurofilaments, GFAP).

A Melanoma Transplanted in Nude Mice Has Both Host- and Tumor-Derived Blood Vessel- and Nerve-Like Structures. [PDF]
Nestin‐driven green fluorescent protein (ND‐GFP) expressing peripheral blood vessels and nerves in the subcutaneous tissue of the ND‐GFP mice extended into the transplanted melanoma such that ND‐GFP was enhanced at the margin of the melanoma compared to the tumor‐free side.

Niche-Mediated Neural Priming Enables Robust and Scalable Generation of Human Choroid Plexus Organoids. [PDF]
Compared to E8, mTeSR1 culture downregulated WNT and TGF‑β signaling, and upregulated neural differentiation pathways, enhancing neural priming. Under skin organoid induction conditions, mTeSR1‑cultured hESCs generated organoids with significantly higher neuroepithelial differentiation.

Functional validation of driver mutation-specific uveal melanoma biomarkers: role of COL9A3 in cancer cell plasticity. [PDF]
Abstract Uveal melanoma (UM) is a deadly ocular malignancy with well‐described genetic alterations that predict disease outcome. However, our current understanding of the biological underpinnings of high‐risk uveal melanoma progression remains relatively limited. Using RNA expression profiles from 250 patients with UM, we identified 12 novel biomarkers

Nestin-expressing cell types in the temporal lobe and hippocampus: morphology, differentiation and proliferative capacity [PDF]
Nestin is expressed in immature neuroepithelial and progenitor cell types and transiently upregulated in proliferative neuroglial cells responding to acute brain injury, including following seizures.

Evaluation of the Expression and Prognosis of Neural-Related Products Expressed by Cancer-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells With the Characteristics of Neural Stem Cells. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Studies have demonstrated that the nervous system plays an important role in cancer progression. Nevertheless, the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on cancer has yielded conflicting results. In this study, we discovered that cancer‐derived MSCs (CA‐MSCs) not only exhibit the properties of neural stem cells (NSCs) but also express a ...

Nestin modulates glucocorticoid receptor function by cytoplasmic anchoring. [PDF]
Nestin is the characteristic intermediate filament (IF) protein of rapidly proliferating progenitor cells and regenerating tissue. Nestin copolymerizes with class III IF-proteins, mostly vimentin, into heteromeric filaments.

MiR-125b orchestrates cell proliferation, differentiation and migration in neural stem/progenitor cells by targeting Nestin [PDF]
BackgroundThe emerging concept is that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a central role in controlling stem cell self-renewal and fate determination by regulating the expression of stem cell regulators.
