Background Human induced pluripotent stem cells offer perspectives for cell therapy and research models for diseases. We applied this approach to the normal and pathological erythroid differentiation model by establishing induced pluripotent stem cells ...

Design Principle of Gene Expression Used by Human Stem Cells; Implication for Pluripotency [PDF]
Human embryonic stem cells (ESC) are undifferentiated and are endowed with the capacities of self renewal and pluripotential differentiation. Adult stem cells renew their own tissue, but whether they can trans-differentiate to other tissues is still controversial.

Mouse induced pluripotent stem cells
The recent discovery that it is possible to directly reprogramme somatic cells to an embryonic stem (ES) cell-like pluripotent state, by retroviral transduction of just four genes (Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc and Kif4), represents a major breakthrough in stem cell research.

Liquid Crystalline Networks Hamper the Malignancy of Cancer Cells
Liquid Crystalline Networks are used as scaffolds for the growth of A375 melanoma cells demonstrating to affect their malignancy. Indeed, only by contact, these materials reduces cell proliferation and colony formation capacity, while increasing the number of senescent cells and promoting the mesenchymal to epithelial transition.

Theoretical modelling discriminates the stochastic and deterministic hypothesis of cell reprogramming [PDF]
How to induce differentiated cells into pluripotent cells has elicited researchers' interests for a long time since pluripotent stem cells are able to offer remarkable potential in numerous subfields of biological research. However, the nature of cell reprogramming, especially the mechanisms still remain elusive for the sake of most protocols of ...

An introduction to the mathematical modelling of iPSCs [PDF]
The aim of this chapter is to convey the importance and usefulness of mathematical modelling as a tool to achieve a deeper understanding of stem cell biology. We introduce key mathematical concepts (random walk theory, differential equations and agent-based modelling) which form the basis of current descriptions of induced pluripotent stem cells.

Efficient derivation of microglia-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells
Microglia, the only lifelong resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are highly specialized macrophages that have been recognized to have a crucial role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ...

Disease-specific pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are generated by epigenetic reprogramming of somatic cells through the exogenous expression of transcription factors. Recently, the generation of iPS cells from patients with a variety of genetic diseases was found to likely have a major impact on regenerative medicine, because these cells self-renew indefinitely in

Smart Polymeric 3D Microscaffolds Hosting Spheroids for Neuronal Research via Quantum Metrology
Development of a platform consisting of 3D microscaffolds supporting 3D embryoid bodies for neuronal research. The polymeric scaffolds enable directed growth of neurites. This study shows nanodiamond‐based quantum sensors graft onto the polymer material, enabling quantum metrology experiments within the 3D neuronal model and thereby providing a ...
