  • Simon Hippenmeyer and colleagues so provide clear evidence for a model whereby individual RGPs are multipotent and thus can contribute to the pools of most if not all major types of cortical projection neurons. (ista.ac.at)
  • We have the same genes everywhere in the cells of the body, yet certain types of protein are expressed in the brain, while others are expressed in the liver. (lu.se)
  • As this function is exerted across many cell types, not much attention has been paid to the differences of centrosomes between cells. (helmholtz-munich.de)
  • However, the greatest potential embryonic stem cells presents are its ability to change into any of the more than 200 different cell types in the body. (bartleby.com)

  • We present a sensitive approach to predict genes expressed selectively in specific cell types, by searching publicly available expression data for genes with a similar expression profile to known cell-specific markers. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Our method, CellMapper, strongly outperforms previous computational algorithms to predict cell type-specific expression, especially for rare and difficult-to-isolate cell types. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Furthermore, CellMapper makes accurate predictions for human brain cell types that have never been isolated, and can be rapidly applied to diverse cell types from many tissues. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The human brain provides a clear example: many brain cell types display abnormal gene expression patterns when grown in culture [ 2 ] and must be acutely isolated from intact brain tissue to insure physiological relevance. (biomedcentral.com)
  • These algorithms take advantage of the fact that the relative proportion of cell types varies from sample to sample, making it possible to statistically deconvolve expression changes in the underlying cell types. (biomedcentral.com)
  • By focusing on identifying differentially expressed genes, it turns a more complex model-fitting problem into a classification problem [ 9 ], opening the door to algorithms that may be more sensitive, especially for rare and difficult-to-isolate cell types. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This requirement poses a severe limitation for most biological applications, as it is difficult to curate such a large list of established marker genes for even well-studied cell types and impossible for many others. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We show that CellMapper can make accurate predictions for four human brain cell types that have never been isolated and cannot be addressed by any other computational method. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We then apply our algorithm to a large compendium of 19,801 microarrays and identify genes specifically expressed in 30 diverse cell types of widespread importance in human biology, demonstrating that CellMapper can be readily used for cell types from many different tissues. (biomedcentral.com)
  • the neuroblast stage has the highest temporal variance within the cell types of the neurogenic cascade, while the apoptotic stage is short. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Intriguingly, upon entry into the neurogenic phase, individual RGPs produce a defined unit of about 8-9 neurons indicating a unitary output. (ista.ac.at)
  • Using this stochastic model with a simulation program, we derived the equilibrium distribution of cell population and simulated the progression of the neurogenic cascade. (biomedcentral.com)
  • A successful therapy must therefore eliminate these cells known to be highly resistant to apoptosis. (hindawi.com)
  • They are multipolar cells produced by radial glial cells who have undergone asymmetric division. (wikipedia.org)
  • We encountered a protein, the originally called AT-Hook transcription factor AKNA, that was located with exquisite cell type specificity at the centrosome. (helmholtz-munich.de)

  • We used conjugated polymers to develop a novel neural stem cell culture substrate with anchored growth factors to promote cell self-renewal. (5dok.org)
  • For example, some disease variants show significant overlap only with the neuronal centrosome proteome, and others, such as those of patients with periventricular heterotopia, only with the neural stem cell centrosome proteome. (helmholtz-munich.de)
