Dendritic cells can be self sustaining
The authors have found that the two yeast mRNA capping enzymes, Cet1p and Ceg1p, are potent in vitro inhibitors of transcription. Cet1p, stimulated by its Ceg1p binding partner, stalled transcription by blocking reinitiation at already activated promoters. Conversely, elimination of Cet1p in vivo stimulated transcription. Although Cet1p is the first general repressor found to act at reinitiatio...
متن کاملA Glance into Cancer Stem Cells
The presence of stem cells in leukemia and solid tumors has been demonstrated in recent decades. Cancer stem cells have the potency of tumorigenesis; furthermore, they have the ability of self-renewing and differentiation like other stem cells. They also play important role in the process of tumor invasion and metastasis. Several studies have been performed to discover the spe...
متن کاملCan the Lung Cancer Pie Be Divided into Angiogenic Slices?
There are no validated markers for predicting benefit from angiogenesis inhibitors or classifying tumors with distinct angiogenic phenotypes. In patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with bevacizumab and erlotinib, Franzini and colleagues find that angiogenesis- and hypoxia-associated gene expression signatures predict tumor response and/or clinical outcome, and may define distinct a...
متن کاملThymic derived iPs cells can be differentiated into cardiomyocytes.
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is one of the common congenital heart malformations. Several factors lead to the development of VSD, including familial causes, exposure to certain drugs, infectious agents, and maternal metabolic disturbances. We considered that induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells derived from VSD patients can be used to study the origin and pathogenesis of the VSD. Here, we sh...
متن کاملExogenously Provided Peptides of a Self-antigen Can Be Processed into Forms that Are Recognized by Self–T Cells
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules can present peptides derived from two different sources. The predominant source of peptide in uninfected antigen presenting cells (APCs) is from self-proteins that are synthesized within the cell and traffic through the MHC class II compartment. The other source of antigen is endocytosed proteins, which includes both self- and foreign pr...
