Alternative approaches to LV are non viral vectors

2018-10-20

Alternative approaches to LV are non-viral vectors such as RNA or DNA, which are considered safer due to their integration-free nature (Hardee et al., 2017). However, manufacturing RNA is expensive and difficult because RNA has a propensity to degrade (Yin et al., 2014). On the other hand, DNA plasm

Expression profiles from tumor tissue and derived cell lines

2018-10-20

Expression profiles from tumor tissue and derived cell lines are extremely different, thus the current transcriptomic signature for GBM subtyping may not apply in vitro. Using our precursor state signature, we were able to identify an association with the proneural and mesenchymal subtypes. Interest

2018-10-20

In addition to studying drug effects on AP and calcium handling, we also showed the potential of using genetic reporters for studying inherited arrhythmogenic disorders. To this end, we utilized a previously established LQTS2 patient-specific line (Itzhaki et al., 2011a) and also generated a new hiP

2018-10-20

Because freshly isolated hepatocytes rapidly lose their functions, it is a major challenge to generate fully functional hepatocytes from pluripotent stem cells. While hepatocytes derived from CPM+ LPCs expressed high levels of metabolic activity, the levels of some proteins are not as high as primar

However PSCs have major safety concerns such as teratoma

2018-10-20

However, PSCs have major safety concerns, such as teratoma formation due to possible contamination of the residual undifferentiated PSCs (Lee et al., 2013a). Teratoma is a unique characteristic of PSCs owing to their pluripotency and ability to undergo unlimited proliferation (Gruen and Grabel, 200

The role of Wnt catenin signaling in reprogramming

2018-10-20

The role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in reprogramming has also been investigated. Exogenously introduced WNT3A enhances fibroblast reprogramming in the absence of c-Myc (Marson et al., 2008). Knockdown or knockout of T cell factors or treatments with several drugs that control the Wnt pathway can cha

2018-10-20

Given that the ECM becomes more complex as ECs differentiate, it is of particular interest to understand the outside-in signaling that might modulate their behavior. Similar to other cell types, ECs interact with their environment in large part via the integrin family of adhesion receptors that cons
