  • Furthermore microarray analysis of gene appearance patterns in cultured 129- and M6-produced Sera cells showed that M6 Sera cells have a higher inclination to shed their pluripotency in tradition in standard 15% FBS LIF-supplemented Sera cell medium than 129 Sera cells [16].

  • At the same time, we already provide customers with high quality gene-editing tools for cell or animal research worldwide. (ubigene.us)
  • For gene-editing mice. (ubigene.us)
  • No previous experience in genome editing is required. (sb-3.org)
  • Brietta Latham, a PhD student in WSU's School of Molecular Biosciences, stands next to a tank containing beetles and caterpillars that clean mouse skeletons used in research to develop a gene editing strategy to shorten the tails of Suffolk sheep and eliminate the need for tail docking. (wsu.edu)
  • And the single-cell clones were isolated by the limited dilution method and the Monoclone Genotype Validation Kit (Cat: YK-MV-1000) was used for cell lysis and PCR amplification on the single-cell clones, and then the genotype was verified by Sanger sequencing. (ubigene.us)
  • Today, genetically-altered mice are an essential component of the experimental toolkit, with thousands of varieties contributing to research in laboratories around the world. (nobelprize.org)
  • Autophagy is an intracellular degradation system that ensures a dynamic recycling of a variety of building blocks required for self-renewal, homeostasis, and cell survival under stress. (hindawi.com)
  • Basal macroautophagy (thereafter referred to as autophagy), a catabolic recycling system in cells, is key to maintaining cellular homeostasis and survival. (hindawi.com)
  • Furthermore, activation of autophagy allows to extend cell survival when exposed to different types of stressors such as starvation or cytotoxic drugs. (hindawi.com)
  • While the importance of autophagy for cell homeostasis and survival has long been appreciated, its role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression is still developing [ 10 , 11 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • We used primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples and human AML cell lines to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of autophagy and its role in AML differentiation. (hindawi.com)
  • In particular, ubiquitin-mediated degradation is critically important at transition points where it provides directionality and irreversibility to the cell cycle, which is essential for maintaining genome integrity. (intechopen.com)
  • Osteoclasts are bone cells derived from monocyte/macrophage lineage and are exclusively responsible for bone resorption, which contributes to skeletal development, bone homeostasis, and remodeling. (frontiersin.org)
  • Particularly, viral infection triggers specific signaling programs within the infected cells that results in substantial changes in host gene expression. (cdc.gov)
  • GXD integrates different types of gene expression information from the mouse and provides a searchable index of published experiments on endogenous gene expression during development. (tigm.org)
  • Pkd1/Wwtr1Oc-cKO mice also displayed additive reductions in mechanosensing and osteogenic gene expression profiles in bone compared to Pkd1Oc-cKO or Wwtr1Oc-cKO mice. (bvsalud.org)
  • Cell adhesion molecule 1 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the CADM1 gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • Binding of this protein to CXCR3 results in pleiotropic effects, including stimulation of monocytes, natural killer and T-cell migration, and modulation of adhesion molecule expression. (cancerindex.org)
  • We found that SET domain bifurcated 1 Since no difference in food intake was observed between adqcKO f/f (Setdb1) was a SUMOylated protein and that Senp2 de-SUMOylated Senp2 and Senp2 mice fedeitherwithNCD or HFD and regulated Setdb1 action in trimethylation at histone 3 lysine 9 (Supplementary Figure S2A).

  • In the case of G M2 gangliosidosis, an activator protein is deficient, which leads to the accumulation of ganglioside G M2 and related glycolipids in neuronal cells. (medscape.com)
  • We show here that expression of EBF3 resulted in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. (aacrjournals.org)
  • Silencing of the EBF3 locus was observed in brain, colorectal, breast, liver, and bone tumor cell lines and its reactivation was achieved on treatment with 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine and trichostatin A in a significant portion of these tumor cells. (aacrjournals.org)
  • Neurons that arise in the adult nervous system originate from neural stem cells and neural progenitor cells. (elifesciences.org)
  • Neural stem cells have long lives, much of which they spend in a quiescent state. (elifesciences.org)
  • A region of the brain called the subventricular zone contains both neural stem cells and neural progenitor cells, and is one of only two regions of the brain where neural stem cells are found in adult mammals. (elifesciences.org)
  • However, the exact relationship between neural stem cells and neurosphere-forming cells has been uncertain. (elifesciences.org)
  • have used a technique called flow cytometry to identify and isolate neural stem cells and neurosphere-forming cells directly from the subventricular zone. (elifesciences.org)
  • The neural stem cells, which Mich, Signer et al. (elifesciences.org)
  • To circumvent these obstacles, we have developed two methods for the investigation of human neural cells in culture. (lu.se)
