Experimental Procedures Author Contributions Acknowledgments Introduction The vital processes of blood coagulation, clot formation, and hemostasis rely upon a sufficient supply of platelets within a person’s bloodstream. Transfusion remains the most effective way to increase a patient’s

2018-10-20

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs of 22 nucleotides that control gene expression chiefly by translational repression (Lee et al., 2004). miRNA expression is spatially and temporally regulated during development, and they can participate in the regulation of pluripotent stem cell lineage co

2018-10-20

Although WNT signaling plays a prominent role in A/P patterning of the neural tube, few studies have extensively examined the influence of WNT on the A/P positional identity of hPSC-derived NPCs and neurons. To date, most studies have relied on FGF8 (Yan et al., 2005; Yang et al., 2008) or retinoic

Evidence suggests that sex steroids play at least some role in age-related degeneration of lymphopoiesis (Chinn et al., 2012), and we, and others, have previously shown that sex steroid ablation (SSA) is able to rejuvenate aged and immunodepleted BM and thymus, enhance peripheral T and B cell functi

Partial cleavage of CXCL at

2018-10-20

Partial cleavage of CXCL12 at the N-terminus by distinct peptidases results in loss of chemotactic activity and impairment in CXCR4 receptor affinity (Cho et al., 2010; Delgado et al., 2001; Levesque et al., 2003). The proteolytic cleavage of CXCL12 by matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 (MMP-2 and 9)

2018-10-20

The activity of CXCL12(5-67) through CXCR3 receptor has been shown before (Denoyer et al., 2012; Zhu et al., 2009). Here we aimed to confirm this finding using CXCL9, a natural ligand of CXCR3. NSCs pre-treated with CXCL9 were not susceptible to the CXCL12(5-67) apoptotic effects. The effect of CXCL

2018-10-20

This study indicates that miR-124 and miR-219 may also be involved in the neurogenesis-to-gliogenesis switch by NSPCs. miR-124 promotes neurogenesis via downregulation of several genes (Sox9, Scp1, and Ezh2) that are positive regulators of gliogenesis or negative regulators of neurogenesis in the de

2018-10-20

Our initial endeavors in characterizing our isogenic iPSCs lines included a microarray-based large-scale gene Apremilast analysis comparing the HD iPSCs with the corrected line C116 iPSCs (An et al., 2012). These studies were restricted to a comparison of only the iPSCs lines but yielded several use

To elucidate whether the expression pattern of Zscan4 has any correlation with ESC proliferation, we monitored Zscan4 activity at single cell level. Also to see whether the rejuvenation factor Zscan4 correlates with the fluctuating wave of ESC pluripotency (Figure S1), we monitored Zscan4 and the pl

We have developed protocols to form 3D force-generating engineered heart tissues (EHTs; Eschenhagen et al., 2012; Hirt et al., 2014). This follows the principle of hydrogel formation with dissociated cardiomyocytes in casting molds and maintenance with a defined preload. Cardiomyocytes remodel the h
