Small RNA pathways in mammalian oocytes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Three distinct small RNA pathways operate in mammalian oocytes: RNAi interference (RNAi), the microRNA (miRNA) pathway, and the PIWI‐associated RNA (piRNA) pathway. These pathways use small RNAs to guide sequence‐specific repression and contribute to oocyte biology by targeting genes and mobile elements or appear insignificant since different ...

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.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

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 ...

Hydrogel platforms for 3D cardiac tissue engineering and fibrotic disease modelling

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based cardiac tissue models are advancing our understanding of heart health and disease. By incorporating electrical conductivity, aligned structures, and tunable mechanical properties, these platforms better replicate the complex environment of native heart tissue.

Methods affecting neuronal differentiation of human adult and pluripotent stem cells [PDF]

, 2015
Stem cells have significant potential to treat many age-related degenerative disorders that affect increasing numbers of people globally. This thesis investigated the capacity for omnicytes and human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) to undergo directed ...

Identification, properties, and clinical significance of putative stem-like cell populations in prostate cancer [PDF]

, 2012
The notion that tumour initiation and heterogeneity might be driven by small population of tumour-initiating cells (TIC) has gained high significance since the pioneering identification of TIC in leukaemia.
