MicroRNA Modulation during the In vitro Culture of Hematopoietic Stem Cells Prior to Transplantation
Background: Human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) is an acceptable and readily accessible source of stem cells. There is an ongoing interest in cord blood stem cell therapies; however, little is known about the possible unfavorable effects of laboratory modifications on the isolated HUCB cells. The involvement of miRNAs in several biological processes has been shown. The aim of this study was to ev...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells: History, Isolation and Biology
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a kind of adult stem cells possess two properties of long term selfrenewal ability and multilineage differentiation potential into skeletal cell lineages. MSCs were first isolated and described from bone marrow samples. Further investigations have identified several other tissues as alternative sources for these cells. In spite of the clinical importance of MSCs...
متن کاملMicroRNA biology in fungi
RNA processing is essential factor for synthesis of functional and structural proteins in eukaryote cells. In eukaryote organisms it will be initiated with transcription of DNA in nucleolus and terminated to mRNA translation in cytoplasm, finally mRNA degraded. Protein synthesis followed as different steps, includes 5' capping, poly adenylating, processing and transferring from nucleolus to cyt...
متن کاملWORLD OF REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY: Progesterone and Endocannabinoid Interaction Alters Sperm Activation
A recent study in Science finds that α/β-hydrolase domain-containing protein 2 (ABHD2) is a novel nongenomic progesterone receptor that holds the CatSper cation channel open while progesterone elevates sperm cytoplasmic calcium ion (Ca) levels and triggers sperm hyperactive motility. ABHD2 functions as a lipid hydrolase, breaking down arachidonoylglycerols (2-AG/1AG)—endocannabinoid components ...
متن کاملVery Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells: Implications in Reproductive Biology
The most primitive germ cells in adult mammalian testis are the spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) whereas primordial follicles (PFs) are considered the fundamental functional unit in ovary. However, this central dogma has recently been modified with the identification of a novel population of very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) in the adult mammalian gonads. These stem cells are more pr...
