Abstract
The development of methods to achieve efficient reprogramming of human cells while avoiding the permanent presence of reprogramming transgenes represents a critical step toward the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) for clinical purposes, such as disease modeling or reconstituting therapies. Although several methods exist for gener...... hiện toàn bộ
BMP4 Promotes EMT and Mesodermal Commitment in Human Embryonic Stem Cells via SLUG and MSX2Stem Cells - Tập 32 Số 3 - Trang 636-648 - 2014

AbstractBone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) initiate differentiation in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) but the exact mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. We demonstrate here that SLUG and MSX2, transcription factors involved in epithelial–mesenchymal transitions, essential features of gastrulation in development and tumor progression, are important mediato...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Adult tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in treating diseases or repairing damaged tissues through mechanisms thought to be mediated by either cell replacement or secretion of paracrine factors. Characterized, self-renewing human ESCs could potentially be an invariable source of consistently u...... hiện toàn bộ
Role of MicroRNAs 99b, 181a, and 181b in the Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Vascular Endothelial CellsStem Cells - Tập 30 Số 4 - Trang 643-654 - 2012

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs, which post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. miRNAs are transcribed as precursors and matured to active forms by a series of enzymes, including Dicer. miRNAs are important in governing cell differentiation, development, and disease. We have recently developed a feeder- and serum-free protocol for direct...... hiện toàn bộ
