Hypoxia Signaling Pathway in Stem Cell Regulation: Good and Evil [PDF]
Purpose of Review: This review summarizes the role of hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) in the regulation of stem cell biology, specifically focusing on maintenance, differentiation, and stress responses in the context of several stem cell ...

Generation of a human embryonic stem cell line (WAe009-A-78) carrying homozygous TBX18 knockout
T-Box Transcription Factor 18 is a member of the T-box family, encoding TBX18 protein. As a transcriptional repressor, it related to developmental processes of a majority of tissues and organs and plays crucial part in the embryonic development of ...

Metaboloepigenetic Regulation of Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]
The differentiation of pluripotent stem cells is associated with extensive changes in metabolism, as well as widespread remodeling of the epigenetic landscape. Epigenetic regulation is essential for the modulation of differentiation, being responsible for cell type specific gene expression patterns through the modification of DNA and histones, thereby ...

Differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from dissociated monolayer and feeder-free cultured pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
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 ...

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

Differentiation of primate primordial germ cell-like cells following transplantation into the adult gonadal niche. [PDF]
A major challenge in stem cell differentiation is the availability of bioassays to prove cell types generated in vitro are equivalent to cells in vivo. In the mouse, differentiation of primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) from pluripotent cells was ...

A stochastic and dynamical view of pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells [PDF]
Pluripotent embryonic stem cells are of paramount importance for biomedical research thanks to their innate ability for self-renewal and differentiation into all major cell lines. The fateful decision to exit or remain in the pluripotent state is regulated by complex genetic regulatory network.
