Stem cells: on the front line.
I am pleased to write this introduction to the new Journal of Cell Science Article Series on Stem Cells. Stem cell research is now regarded as one of the most exciting fields of biomedical research. However, its origins lie in several distinct research disciplines, including developmental biology, pathology and immunology. Developmental biologists have long been interested in how different cell...
متن کاملOn the front line.
14 The drylands are on the front line of climate change, and they include the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. We are already seeing in them the harrowing effects of climate change on poverty, survival, health, hunger, human well-being — and on peace itself, because the heavily impacted drylands are among the most unstable parts of the world. The stretch from Senegal through to Afgha...
متن کاملA vector-based system for the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells toward germ-line cells
Objective(s):To culture thein vitro mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and to direct their differentiation to germ-line cells; in present study we used a vector backbone containing the fusion construct Stra8-EGFP to select differentiated ES cells that entered meiosis. Retinoic acid was used to differentiate embryonic stem cells to germ cells. Materials and Methods: A fragment of Stra8 gene pr...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells Trigger Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition in the HT-29 Colorectal Cancer Cell Line
Background and Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) promote metastasis in colorectal cancer; however, the mechanism underlying this process is not fully understood. Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key step in tumor acquisition of metastatic phenotype. We aimed to investigate the effect of MSCs on the expression of EMT markers, as well as cancer stem cell markers in HT-29 col...
متن کاملInnate immunity: Mast cells in the front line
Mast cells comprise a heterogeneous family of cell types derived from the bone marrow, which are mainly found resident in the connective tissues of the skin, lung and gut. Their common feature is prominent cytoplasmic granules containing heparin, histamine and proteases, which can be released — a process known as degranulation — into the tissues when the cells are appropriately activated. Tradi...
