Until 2009, Saitou's starting point had been cells taken from a live mouse epiblast — a cup - like
collection of cells lining one end of the embryo that forms at the end of the first week of development, just before the PGCs emerge.
Since
our collection of cell lines is completely genetically annotated — which means that mutations and expression changes in each line's genes have been documented — we should be able to identify in advance patients who will benefit from specific combinations.
The European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC) provides the research community with a rich
collection of cell lines.

An inverse correlation has been found between DAXX and DAPK1 / 3 mRNA expression in a diverse
collection of human tumor
cell lines and tumor specimens [Submitted], suggesting that DAXX's role as a transcriptional repressor
