cells to adrenaline at temperatures between 20 °C and 40 °C.

cultures showed that enhanced signaling by the mutant R206H ACVR1 can be partially inhibited by the BMP antagonist Noggin,

cells derived from FOP patients (48 — 50).

cultures treated with X4 - ZFNs viral titers steadily decreased after peak viremia while
cell growth remained exponential
suggesting there was not significant viral production (data not shown).
Pilot studies using a variety of strategies
suggested that this goal could be best achieved by stimulating primary organ
cell cultures with TNF - α (10 ng / ml) and targeting
cells expressing the endothelial
cell adhesion molecules E-selectin and VCAM - 1 through a FACS - driven strategy.
We then prepared
cultures from this tissue, but we observed only very few GFAP or S100β positive astrocytes, while the majority of
cells were negative for all glial and neuron markers tested,
suggesting that these
cells may be non-neural.

cells in the developing embryo to become beating heart
cells,
suggesting that a similar gene in humans could be used to generate heart
cells in
culture for transplant in ailing people.

suggested before using
cell cultures and in artificially aged mice, but this is the first time that a naturally - aging model has been used.

cells in
culture from high impact cardiovascular journals, and of basic and clinical scientific literature,
suggests that sex of experimental material is not consistently reported.

culture system resulted in massive death of irradiated MEF
cells plated at a relatively low density,
suggesting that the 2i strategy might not be compatible with irradiated MEF
cells.
Assessment of hASC - CM composition found high expression of various human growth factors (IL ‐ 6, 8, 12, eotaxin, IP10, MCP ‐ 1, VEGF, and TIMP ‐ 1) in the supernatant following the co-
culture of hASCs with islet
cells, while IP10, eotaxin, VEGF, and TIMP ‐ 1 became increased with time during islet co ‐
culture,
suggesting the presence of paracrine cross ‐ talk between islets and hASCs.
Cells with similar characteristics accumulate during normal aging as well as in younger persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus,
suggesting that the process of replicative senescence is not an artifact of
cell culture but is also occurring in vivo.
Recent observations
suggest that there may be lineage - specific markers expressed in sub-populations of ES
cell cultures.

suggest that the components of the
culture medium are also one of important factors to effectively induce germ

ES
cell cultures also express low levels of Gata4 and Gata6,
suggesting the presence of either background levels of PrEn gene expression or basal levels of PrEn differentiation [25], [27].
It was recently
suggested that Hes1 expression can cycle in ES
cell culture [13], although the link between this oscillation, low - level gene expression, and developmental bias is not clear.

cell - conditioned medium.
No significant differences were seen between the normoxic and hypoxic anoikis - resistant populations collected from MCF7
cells and a single significant gene change (PIP) was seen in T47D (Table 1)
suggesting that the CSC - enriched population remains virtually unchanged following hypoxic

cells is, therefore, due to expansion of the population, perhaps by increased symmetric self - renewal of the CSC or de-differentiation of early progenitor
cells, rather than simply the acquisition of anoikis resistance in non-CSC.
