  • Our method expands the scope of CpG methylation profiling from measuring human chronological and biological age from human samples in years, to accurately and rapidly detecting anti-ageing potential of drugs using human cells in vitro , providing a novel accelerated discovery platform to test sought after geroprotectors.

  • Our results so far indicate that there is potential for meat quality improvements through manipulation of satellite cell activity, and we are investigating this potential further. (poultryhub.org)

  • CRT aims to replace neurons that have degenerated in PD, with donor cells that have the potential to functionally re-integrate into the host circuitry. (lu.se)
  • Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to become one of 200 types of cells in the body, including blood, nerve, muscle, heart, glandular, and skin cells. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Described here are some of the general requirements of in vitro test methods for skin sensitization, and progress that has been made in developing suitable approaches with particular emphasis on the utility of dendritic cell culture systems. (cdc.gov)
  • Whilst LiCl exposure did not significantly alter the proportion of cells expressing markers for stem cells/undifferentiated cells (Oct4, SSEA4), neurons (Neurofilament M), astrocytes (GFAP) or cell cycle phase, the drug caused a 1.4-fold increase in total cell number. (plos.org)
  • Differentiated cells express typical glial markers and show a marked decrease in their proliferative state. (lu.se)
  • In this study, we examined the acquisition of memory markers after the initial stimulation of naive T cells. (unboundmedicine.com)
  • However, individual surface markers exhibited a varied relationship to cell division. (unboundmedicine.com)
  • Although changes in some markers (L-selectin) occurred independently of cell division, changes in other markers were either strictly related to cell division (CD45RB) or were a prerequisite to cell division (CD4, CD44). (unboundmedicine.com)
  • By immunostaining for cell type specific markers, I have documented the different stages of retinal differentiation and provided insight into the mechanisms of ipRGC differentiation. (indianactsi.org)
