The plant stem-cell niche and pluripotency: 15 years of an epigenetic perspective

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pluripotent stem-cells are slowly dividing cells giving rise to daughter cells that can either differentiate to new tissues and organs, or remain stem-cells.

Generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines with BAX and BAK1 double knock-out using CRISPR/Cas9

Stem Cell Research
Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX) and Blc-2 homologous antagonist killer 1 (BAK) are two pro-apoptotic members of BCL2 family. Here, two BAX/BAK double knock-out human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSC) we generated using CRISPR-Cas9 to generate ...

A Chemical Probe that Labels Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Cell Reports, 2014
A small-molecule fluorescent probe specific for human pluripotent stem cells would serve as a useful tool for basic cell biology research and stem cell therapy. Screening of fluorescent chemical libraries with human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)

DNA repair in human pluripotent stem cells is distinct from that in non-pluripotent human cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The potential for human disease treatment using human pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), also carries the risk of added genomic instability.

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 ...

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 ...

Generation of a human embryonic stem cell line (WAe009-A-3B) carrying homozygous TNNT2 gene knockout by CRISPR/Cas9 editing

Stem Cell Research
The TNNT2 gene encodes cardiac troponin T (cTnT), a critical protein in cardiac muscle contraction. Mutations in TNNT2 are associated with various cardiomyopathies, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), which ...

Cardiac Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]

Stem Cells International, 2011
The ability of human pluripotent stem cells to differentiate towards the cardiac lineage has attracted significant interest, initially with a strong focus on regenerative medicine. The ultimate goal to repair the heart by cardiomyocyte replacement has, however, proven challenging. Human cardiac differentiation has been difficult to control, but methods

Glucokinase (GCK) in diabetes: from molecular mechanisms to disease pathogenesis

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters
Glucokinase (GCK), a key enzyme in glucose metabolism, plays a central role in glucose sensing and insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells, as well as glycogen synthesis in the liver.

Spatiotemporal expression of thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 and THRA mRNA in human cerebral organoids recapitulating first trimester cortex development

Scientific Reports
Thyroid hormones (TH) play critical roles during nervous system development and patients carrying coding variants of MCT8 (monocarboxylate transporter 8) or THRA (thyroid hormone receptor alpha) present a spectrum of neurological phenotypes resulting ...
