Two sides of the same coin? Unraveling subtle differences between human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells by Raman spectroscopy

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2017
Background Human pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, hold enormous promise for many biomedical applications, such as regenerative medicine, drug testing, and disease modeling.

Regenerative strategies for kidney engineering [PDF]

, 2016
The kidney is the most important organ for water homeostasis and waste excretion. It performs several important physiological functions for homeostasis: it filters the metabolic waste out of circulation, regulates body fluid balances, and acts as an ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

Generation of two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS) patients with SLC16A2:G401R or SLC16A2: H192R mutation

Stem Cell Research
Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS) is an X-linked disorder characterized by profound psychomotor impairment. It is caused by mutations in the SLC16A2 gene, which encodes monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8), a crucial thyroid hormone transporter.

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 ...

A working model for cytoplasmic assembly of H/ACA snoRNPs

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dyskerin is the component of nuclear H/ACA ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) endowed with pseudouridine synthase catalytic activity. Two isoforms of human dyskerin have been characterized: the abundant Iso1, mainly nuclear, and the shorter Iso3, mainly cytoplasmic but occasionally imported into nuclei.

Pluripotent Stem Cells and Disease Modeling [PDF]

Cell Stem Cell, 2009
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can theoretically be converted into any somatic cell type. hESCs and hiPSCs carrying genetic defects can now be produced to model diseases in vitro. We suggest several guiding principles to help ensure an optimal fit between technology and disease.

C9orf72 ALS‐causing mutations lead to mislocalization and aggregation of nucleoporin Nup107 into stress granules

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutations in the C9orf72 gene represent the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Using patient‐derived neurons and C. elegans models, we find that the nucleoporin Nup107 is dysregulated in C9orf72‐associated ALS. Conversely, reducing Nup107 levels mitigates disease‐related changes.

A Glycolytic Solution for Pluripotent Stem Cells [PDF]

Cell Stem Cell, 2016
Glycolysis is an essential component of cellular metabolism associated with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Two new papers, one by Gu et al. (2016) in this issue of Cell Stem Cell and one by Zhang et al. (2016) in Cell Reports, demonstrate that glycolytic flux is dynamically increased in human primed PSCs upon feeder-free cultivation or conversion into ...

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 ...
