  • He did this by using intact nuclei from somatic cells from a Xenopus tadpole. (wikipedia.org)
  • According to Hillson, the difficulty with traditional cloning approaches is that they aren't "standardized," which he argues would make things much easier and far less complicated. (genomeweb.com)
  • This will be coupled with next generation sequencing based approaches to understanding the consequences of perturbing immune cell function. (lu.se)
  • Knowledge on the expression analysis of Notch signaling pathway molecules in SHED cultured in KGM could highlight its involvement in controlling the biological activity of these stem cells, particularly during odontogenesis and other developmental process. (bvsalud.org)

  • The first part of this initiative is already in place: a CIRM-NIH collaboration was set up last October to generate cell lines from people with Huntington disease, Parkinson disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. (genengnews.com)
  • But he says this does mean we could be getting closer to being able to go beyond cloned cell lines to cloning an entire human being. (usf.edu)
  • Twenty-four hours after plating on laminin substrate, TG1N and TG16 cells adopted a bipolar and elongated shape (Supplementary Fig. 1 B) and displayed high motility (mean velocities of 26.3 ± 0.6 µm/h and 25.7 ± 1.1 µm/h, respectively) without a predefined direction (Supplementary Fig. S1 C, Supplementary Movies S1 and S2 ), consistently with random motility pattern with high velocity previously reported for other GSC lines 30 .
