Here, we describe the characteristics of a novel SeVdp-iPS vector (SeVdp(KOSM)302L) containing miR-302a target sequences at the 3′-UTR of the L gene. This vector can be used for the efficient reprogramming of MEFs into transgene-free iPSCs without the aid of siRNAs, observed using human embryonic fi

Beyond the established role of OH D in VDR

2018-10-20

Beyond the established role of 1,25(OH)D3 in VDR signaling, the biological function of vitamin D precursors in mediating non-VDR dependent events remains controversial. Mutations in 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase are associated with Hh defects in mammals (Koide et al., 2006). Cell culture studies de

Small or immature teratomas are particularly hard to detect due to the lack of tissues with high secretion levels such as gland-like structures. In line with that, we found one teratoma in our test set for which none of the eight tested biomarkers was positive. Histological characterization showed t

There are multiple ways whereby oxidative stress may promote FOXO activation. For example, FOXO proteins can directly sense ROS through the ability of ROS to induce disulfide bridges between cysteine residues on the FOXO protein, resulting in FOXO activation and transcription of ROS-removal BIRB796

Others have reported both B and T cell effects after osteolineage cell deletion (Ding and Morrison, 2013) but the promoter used in some of those studies, Col1(2.3), extends through many cell stages of osteolineage progression. Here we define that these osteolineage cell states provide distinctive fu
