Sentences with phrase «cell lineage such»

Not exact matches

The genes are likely to be expressed when cells differentiate into neural crest lineages, such as neurons or Schwann cells, thereby enabling researchers to study the disease in a dish.

Finally, I will show how we have combined our results to generate a model of hematopoietic differentiation where specific transcription factors control lineage regulatory regions; our model predicts many already known lineage - controlling factors as well as finds new potential regulators of hematopoietic differentiation such as ATF3 in monocytes and Tcf7l2 and Runx2 in NK cells.

Resident macrophages from the same lineage, such as liver Kupffer cells, brain microglia, epidermal Langerhans cells, lung alveolar macrophages..., display tissue - specific phenotypes, perform tissue - specific functions and have distinct gene expression profiles.

Diagnosis of BPDCN was confirmed by the positivity of the cells for CD4 and CD56, along with other markers that are more restricted to plasmacytoid dendritic cells (such as CD123), and the negativity of the cells for lymphoid, NK and myeloid lineage - associated antigens.

Currently, we are exploring several environmental samples retrieved from allover the world - ranging from hydrothermal vents in Japan to hot springs in Yellowstone National Park and New Zealand — for the presence of novel archaeal (and bacterial) lineages using cultivation - independent approaches, such as metagenomics and single cell genomics.

Studying the epigenetic setting of germ cells allows investigating several crucial aspects of mammalian biology such as transposon control, genomic imprinting and early lineage commitment.

These mutant mice may be useful in monitoring the Cre expression in living tissues, and tracing the lineage of such cells in embryos, young, and adult mice at desired time points.

The origins of many of these and other genes specific to animal processes such as cell adhesion, and social control of cell proliferation, death and differentiation can be traced to genomic events (gene birth, subfamily expansions, intron gain / loss, and so on) that occurred in the lineage that led to the metazoan ancestor, after animals diverged from their unicellular «cousins».

Our results also suggest that such a strategy is rich in the potential of identifying lineage specific reagents and provides additional evidence for the utility of stem cells in screening and discovery paradigms.

San Diego, CA (March 31, 2009)-- Novocell, Inc., a stem cell engineering company, today announced that it has received U.S. Patent 7,510,876 with claims covering human definitive endoderm cells, an essential cell for generating not only pancreatic type cells, which Novocell is developing for use as a cell therapy for diabetes, but also other endoderm lineage - derived tissues and organs such as lungs, intestine, liver, thymus and thyroid.

While this approach did not allow us to examine the impact of selective EBI2 - deficiency in DCs on WT B - lineage cells, the experiment did allow assessment of the response of EBI2 - deficient B cells in mice that lack EBI2 on CD11c + DCs while retaining EBI2 on approximately half of all non-CD11c expressing cells (such as helper T cells).
