Developmentally coordinated extrinsic signals drive human pluripotent stem
cell differentiation towards authentic DARPP - 32 + medium - sized spiny neurons
Not exact matches
Drosha degrades the messenger RNA for NFIB in the adult hippocampal stem
cells and prevents the expression of this transcription factor which is necessary for the
differentiation of oligodendrocytes and thus blocks their development and therefore biases
differentiation towards neurons.
Their analysis of more than 4,000 individual tumor
cells, the largest effort to date in brain tumors, finds three developmental categories of cancer
cells — one resembling neural stem
cells and two characterized by sets of genes indicting paths
towards differentiation.
«We also think this method could be applied
towards the development of culture conditions during
differentiation of human stem
cells.
«Together,» explains Dr. Ramiro, «the results indicate that CTCF is important for maintaining the germinal center
differentiation program and prevents premature
differentiation towards plasma
cells.»
The exploration of the therapeutic potential of stem
cells requires the characterization of their biological properties, the deciphering of the mechanisms that underlie their pluripotency and their capacity at
differentiation, by the understanding of the signals that direct their fate
towards discrete
cell phenotypes... Their therapeutic use requests further, in particular in the case of substitutive therapies, the analysis of their capacities of integration in injured adult tissues and of their potential tumorigenicity, as well as the development of original ways of delivery.
This is posited to create a safer and more robust source of induced pluripotent stem
cells (iPSCs) from patient samples for subsequent
differentiation towards transplantable RGCs.
A future aspect of our mouse work is directed
towards use of ES
cell differentiation in culture as a model for epigenetic decisions and stem
cell manipulations.
Stem
cell ‐ based therapies under investigation as a strategy for the treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) include the
differentiation of
cells towards engineered β
cells [1] and the use of mesenchymal stem
cells (MSCs) in the prevention or reversal of autoimmune and chemical ‐ induced diabetes [2].
Researchers find that Insulin - like growth factor / Insulin - mediated induction of mesodermal
differentiation aids the production of cardiac progenitor
cells from embryonic stem
cells towards a strategy to boost cardiac
cell production.
However, when these fractions are placed into
differentiation either in vivo or in vitro, the V+S + population tends to colonize the PrEn lineages, while V − S +
cells tend
towards epiblast.
The choice of the somatic
cell for reprogramming, the reprogramming technology chosen, and the
differentiation techniques utilised, all work synergistically
towards the production of mature iPSCs - derived chondrocytes which are comparable to patient - derived chondrocytes, in line with Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines for an «off - the - shelf» stem
cell product.
