Stem Cells, Neural Progenitors, and Engineered Stem Cells [PDF]
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs ) have the unique potential to form every cell type in the body. This potential provides opportunities for generating human progenitors and other differentiated cell types for understanding human development and for use in cell type-specific therapies. Equally important is the ability to engineer stem cells and their

A 14‐Year Study of Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein and Total Tau in Premanifest Huntington's
ABSTRACT There is a pressing need for blood biomarkers that can identify Huntington's disease (HD) gene carriers' proximity to manifest disease. We previously examined serial serum neurofilament light (NfL) concentrations in 21 premanifest HD gene carriers and 14 controls over 14 years, finding that NfL demonstrates high prognostic value and distinct ...

Stem Cells: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly [PDF]
Cancer stem cells are controlled by developmental networks that are often topologically indistinguishable from normal, healthy stem cells. The question is why cancer stem cells can be both phenotypically distinct and have morphological effects so different from normal stem cells.

Histone Deacetylase 6 Brain PET in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis‐Frontotemporal Spectrum Disorder
ABSTRACT Objective [18F]EKZ‐001 is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer targeting histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), an enzyme responsible for intracellular transport and clearance of misfolded proteins. HDAC6 modulation is a promising treatment strategy in neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Adult neural stem cells: The promise of the future
Philippe TaupinNational Neuroscience Institute, National University of SingaporeAbstract: Stem cells are self-renewing undifferentiated cells that give rise to multiple types of specialized cells of the body. In the adult, stem cells are multipotents and

Replicator Dynamics of of Cancer Stem Cell; Selection in the Presence of Differentiation and Plasticity [PDF]
Stem cells have the potential to produce lineages of non-stem cell populations (differentiated cells) via a ubiquitous hierarchal division scheme. Differentiation of a stem cell into (partially) differentiated cells can happen either symmetrically or asymmetrically. The selection dynamics of a mutant cancer stem cell should be investigated in the light

Pathway Analyses of Inherited Neuropathies Identify Putative Common Mechanisms of Axon Degeneration
ABSTRACT Objective Inherited neuropathies (IN) are associated with over 100 different genetic mutations presenting with a variety of phenotypes. This complexity suggests multiple pathways may converge onto a limited number of downstream pathways to effect axonal injury.

Emerging strategies for nerve repair and regeneration in ischemic stroke: neural stem cell therapy
Ischemic stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability worldwide, with limited treatment options available in clinical practice. The emergence of stem cell therapy has provided new hope to the field of stroke treatment via the restoration of brain ...

Modeling tumorspheres reveals cancer stem cell niche building and plasticity [PDF]
Cancer stem cells have been shown to be critical to the development of a variety of solid cancers. The precise interplay mechanisms between cancer stem cells and the rest of a tissue are still not elucidated. To shed light on the interactions between stem and non-stem cancer cell populations we develop a two-population mathematical model, which is ...
