Sall 1 balances self - renewal and differentiation of renal progenitor cells

The PI3K Pathway Balances Self-Renewal and Differentiation of Nephron Progenitor Cells through β-Catenin Signaling

Nephron progenitor cells differentiate to form nephrons during embryonic kidney development. In contrast, self-renewal maintains progenitor numbers and premature depletion leads to impaired kidney function. Here we analyze the PI3K pathway as a point of convergence for the multiple pathways that are known to control self-renewal in the kidney. We demonstrate that a reduction in PI3K signaling t...

Sall1 balances self-renewal and differentiation of renal progenitor cells.

The formation of the proper number of functional nephrons requires a delicate balance between renal progenitor cell self-renewal and differentiation. The molecular factors that regulate the dramatic expansion of the progenitor cell pool and differentiation of these cells into nephron precursor structures (renal vesicles) are not well understood. Here we show that Sall1, a nuclear transcription ...

A review of Biology and clinical use of Mesenchymal stem cell: an immune -modulator progenitor cell

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which also called mesenchymal stromal cells, are multipotent stem cell. Human MSCs typically are positive for the surface markers CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD106, and also negative for hematopoietic markers CD34 and CD45.These cells can be isolated from postnatal bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta, and scalp tissue, as well as from various fetal tissues. ...

Isolation, Induction of Neural and Glial Differentiation and Evaluating the Expression of Five Self Renewal Genes in Adult Mouse Neural Stem Cells

Purpose: Isolation, induction of neural and glial differentiation and evaluating the expression of Nucleostemin, ZFX, Hoxb-4, Sox-9 & Bmi-1 self renewal genes in adult mouse neural stem cells. Materials and Methods: Breifly, for isolation of neural stem cells, frontal part of adult mouse brain was minced in PBS and digested by enzyme solution, containing hyaloronidase and trypsin. Isolated cel...
