Cancer comes of age embryonically
incidence of cancer increases exponentially with age. Aging may lead to pathologies due to the physiologic decline or aberrancy in the functions of adult stem cells, whose intrinsic capacity for self-renewal helps maintain tissue homeostasis. The majority of cancers arise from replication-induced somatic mutations in adult stem cells [1], which predisposes to hijacking their self-renewal pathwa...
متن کاملDifferentiating agents regulate cathepsin B gene expression in HL-60 cells.
We utilized HL-60 cells as a model system to examine the regulation of ctsb gene expression by differentiating agents. Inducers of monocytic differentiation [phorbol ester (PMA), calcitriol (D3), and sodium butyrate (NaB)] and inducers of granulocytic differentiation [all-trans retinoic acid (RA) and 9-cis retinoic acid (9-cis RA)] increase ctsb mRNA levels in a dose-dependent manner as determi...
متن کاملSynthesis of Diarylheptanoid Scaffolds Inspired by Calyxins I and J.
γ,δ-Unsaturated alcohols are prepared efficiently in two steps from o-hydroxycinnamaldehyde. The TMSOTf-mediated reaction of the γ,δ-unsaturated alcohols with aldehydes creates two oxygen heterocycles and three new stereocenters in a single pot. The approach is versatile, and by varying the boronic acid, Grignard reagent, and aldehyde, different substituents may be introduced, while use of a ch...
متن کاملBio-inspired Nanocomposite Fibrous Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Regenerative Medicine
Taesik Chae, Heejae Yang, Frank Ko, Tom Troczynski. Materials Engineering Department, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 Statement of Purpose: Aging of population increases the need for human organ/tissue repairs. Autografts supply, however, has limitation, and allografts may cause the risk of disease transmission and anti-immunization response. One of the alternatives...
متن کاملChitosan-collagen scaffolds can regulate the biological activities of adipose mesenchymal stem cells for tissue engineering
Scaffolds of chitosan and collagen can offer a biological niche for the growth of adipose derived stem cells (ADSC). The objective of this work was to characterize the physico-chemical properties of the scaffolds and the ADSC, as well as their interactions to direct influences of the scaffolds on the behavior of ADSC. The methodology included an enzymatic treatment of fat obtained by liposuctio...
