  • Since neurosphere-forming cells can self-renew and differentiate into neurons and glia, the ability of cells to form neurospheres has generally been taken as evidence that they are stem cells. (elifesciences.org)
  • However, the exact relationship between neural stem cells and neurosphere-forming cells has been uncertain. (elifesciences.org)

  • A) Sex differences in density of -gal+ (PR+) cells in adult PRPL/PL mice. (cdc.gov)
  • F) The vast majority of -gal+ (PR+) cells in various regions in PRPL mice are neurons, as evidenced by co-labeling with NeuroTrace (fluorescent Nissl) in the arcuate and NeuN for the remaining regions. (cdc.gov)
  • G) No sex difference in nuclear or soma size of PR+ VMHvl cells in PRPL mice. (cdc.gov)
  • E, F) Cre expression mirrors that of PR in the VMHvl of adult PRCre/+ mice in adjacent sections. (cdc.gov)

  • The reason I then was drawn into epigenetics and stem cell biology was a lecture at the IMP by Rudolf Jaenisch. (rupress.org)
  • Neurosphere formation is commonly used as a surrogate for neural stem cell (NSC) function but the relationship between neurosphere-initiating cells (NICs) and NSCs remains unclear. (elifesciences.org)
  • Eve was delivered by Caesarian section from her twin sister (the woman who donated the nuclear genetic material from which she was cloned also served as the surrogate mother). (probe.org)
  • The dense sub-epithelial mononuclear infiltrate in oral lichen planus is composed of T cells and macrophages, and there are increased numbers of intra-epithelial T cells. (medscape.com)
  • Therefore, early in the formation of oral lichen planus lesions, CD8 + T cells may recognize an antigen associated with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I on keratinocytes. (medscape.com)
  • [ 8 ] T cells in oral lichen planus contain mRNA for TNF and secrete TNF in vitro. (medscape.com)
  • Oral lichen planus affects approximately 1-2% of the general adult population, although the prevalence of the disease is unknown in many areas. (medscape.com)
  • [ 22 ] Oral lichen planus is a common noninfectious oral mucosal disorder among adult patients who attend oral pathology and oral medicine clinics. (medscape.com)
  • Oral lichen planus predominantly occurs in adults older than 40 years, although younger adults and children can be affected. (medscape.com)
  • Reported associations between oral lichen planus and systemic diseases may be coincidental, because (1) oral lichen planus is relatively common, (2) oral lichen planus occurs predominantly in older adults, and (3) many drugs used in the treatment of systemic diseases trigger the development of oral lichenoid lesions as an adverse effect.

  • 7. "[footnote 16]: The cloning procedure supplies the oocyte with a complete set of chromosomes, all of which are contained in the nucleus which is transferred into the denucleated oocyte. (lifeissues.net)
  • A critical length of telomere repeats is required to ensure proper telomere function and avoid the activation of DNA damage pathways that result in replicative senescence or cell death. (nature.com)
  • Therefore, it's necessary to express Cs sPLA2 in water-soluble form and determine whether the enzymatic activity of Cs sPLA2 or cell signalling pathways is involved in liver fibrosis caused by clonorchiasis. (biomedcentral.com)
  • however, the level of telomerase activity is low or absent in the majority of stem cells regardless of their proliferative capacity. (nature.com)
  • As stem cells have elongated proliferative capacity, they should have a mechanism that maintains telomere length through many cell divisions. (nature.com)
