Loss of POGLUT2/3‐mediated O‐glucosylation produces lung and aortic phenotypes reminiscent of fibrillin1 mutants

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Zebrafish ventral gastrula fate map reveals neural crest progenitor domain

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fate maps relate progenitor cell positions to later fates and locations of their progeny, revealing early embryonic organization. Previous zebrafish fate maps identified the origin of germ layers and derivative cell fates, but ventral gastrula progenitor domains were not fully resolved. In particular, the neural crest, a multipotent

Characterisation of immortalised human foetal retinal progenitor cell lines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Inherited retinal dystrophies and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are leading causes of blindness. Current treatments only slow disease progression in a minority of patients, therefore it is important to develop new treatments that can regenerate ...

Angiogenic potential of endothelial progenitor cells and embryonic stem cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are implicated in a range of pathological conditions, suggesting a natural therapeutic role for EPCs in angiogenesis.

MIT/TFE family transcription factors, Mitf and Tfec, redundantly promote pigment cell differentiation and retinal epithelium pigmentation in teleosts

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transcription factors of the MIT/TFE family—mitfa, mitfb, and tfec—play essential roles in specifying pigment cells derived from neural crest cells in vertebrates. In teleosts, which possess multiple pigment cell types, these factors exhibit partially redundant but largely distinct functions across different pigment lineages.

In vitro expanded stem cells from the developing retina fail to generate photoreceptors but differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Cell transplantation to treat retinal degenerative diseases represents an option for the replacement of lost photoreceptor cells. In vitro expandable cells isolated from the developing mammalian retina have been suggested as a potential source for the ...

Evidence for functional convergence between LZTS2 and DYRK1A during craniofacial development

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Precise control of DYRK1A dosage is essential for embryonic development, including craniofacial morphogenesis. While LZTS2 is among the most consistently identified DYRK1A‐interacting proteins, its roles in embryonic development remain incompletely understood, and its potential contribution to craniofacial development has not been ...

Bone marrow derived cells as endothelial precursors and the role of multi-potent progenitor cells in repairing ischaemic tissues. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
PhDIntroduction: Atherosclerosis and its complications are a major cause of death and disability and it remains a major challenge to develop new therapies for patients with irreversible end organ damage and ongoing ischaemia.

SDF1 Gene Variation Is Associated with Circulating SDF1 alpha Level and Endothelial Progenitor Cell Number-The Bruneck Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND: Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF1) and its receptor CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) play a critical role in progenitor cell homing, mobilization and differentiation.
