Embryonic stem cell-derived hematopoietic stem cells [PDF]
Despite two decades of studies documenting thein vitroblood-forming potential of murine embryonic stem cells (ESCs), achieving stable long-term blood engraftment of ESC-derived hematopoietic stem cells in irradiated mice has proven difficult. We have exploited theCdx-Hoxpathway, a genetic program important for blood development, to enhance the ...

Protocol to assess fatal embolism risks from human stem cells
Summary: Here, we present a protocol to identify the pro-embolic sub-population of human adipose-derived multipotent stromal cells (ADSCs) and predict fatal embolism risks from ADSC infusion.

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) reside in the postnatal bone marrow and give rise to cartilage, bone, hematopoiesis-supportive stroma and marrow adipocytes in defined in vivo assays. These lineages emerge in a specific sequence during embryonic development and post natal growth, and together comprise a continuous anatomical system, the bone-bone marrow ...

Stem Cell Niches: Famished Paneth Cells, Gluttonous Stem Cells [PDF]
Adult tissue stem cells adjust to environmental changes. A new study in the mouse intestine reveals that caloric restriction causes Paneth cells to repress mTORC1 signaling; this in turn stimulates proliferation of neighboring stem cells.

Pluripotent stem cells can be directed into insulin-producing beta cells in vitro. Here, the authors show that downregulation of YAP, an effector of the Hippo pathway, enhances endocrine progenitor differentiation and the generation of beta-cells with ...

PU.1-c-Jun interaction is crucial for PU.1 function in myeloid development
The transcription factor PU.1 recruits c-Jun as a co-activator to promoters without AP-1 binding sites, and mice with point mutations in PU.1 that disrupts the interaction between PU1 and c-Jun have defects in PU.1 dependent blood lineages, including ...

Reversal of β cell de-differentiation by a small molecule inhibitor of the TGFβ pathway
Dysfunction or death of pancreatic β cells underlies both types of diabetes. This functional decline begins with β cell stress and de-differentiation. Current drugs for type 2 diabetes (T2D) lower blood glucose levels but they do not directly alleviate β

Liver transplantation is currently the only curative therapy for patients with acute or chronic liver failure. However, a dramatic gap between the number of available liver grafts and the number of patients on the transplantation waiting list emphasizes ...

Within the bone marrow stroma there exists a subset of nonhematopoietic cells referred to as mesenchymal stem or mesenchymal progenitor cells. These cells can be ex vivo expanded and induced, either in vitro or in vivo, to terminally differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, tenocytes, myotubes, neural cells, and hematopoietic ...
