A quantitative cell migration assay for murine enteric neural progenitors.
Neural crest cells (NCC) are a transient and multipotent cell population that originates from the dorsal neural tube and migrates extensively throughout the developing vertebrate embryo. In addition to providing peripheral glia and neurons, NCC generate melanocytes as well as most of the cranio-facial skeleton. NCC migration and differentiation is controlled by a combination of their axial orig...
متن کاملA Quantitative Assay for Insulin-expressing Colony-forming Progenitors
The field of pancreatic stem and progenitor cell biology has been hampered by a lack of in vitro functional and quantitative assays that allow for the analysis of the single cell. Analyses of single progenitors are of critical importance because they provide definitive ways to unequivocally demonstrate the lineage potential of individual progenitors. Although methods have been devised to gener...
متن کاملHow Tissue Mechanical Properties Affect Enteric Neural Crest Cell Migration
Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a population of multipotent cells that migrate extensively during vertebrate development. Alterations to neural crest ontogenesis cause several diseases, including cancers and congenital defects, such as Hirschprung disease, which results from incomplete colonization of the colon by enteric NCCs (ENCCs). We investigated the influence of the stiffness and structure ...
متن کاملReduced oxygen stress promotes propagation of murine postnatal enteric neural progenitors in vitro.
BACKGROUND Neural stem and progenitor cells of the Enteric Nervous System (ENS) are regarded as a novel cell source for applications in regenerative medicine. However, improvements to the current ENS cell culture protocols will be necessary to generate clinically useful cell numbers under defined culture conditions. Beneficial effects of physiologically low oxygen concentrations and/or the addi...
متن کاملEGFR and Migration of Neural Progenitors
Protein phosphorylation keeps circadian clocks wound, triggering rhythmic transcriptional events throughout the day. This week, Lin et al. identify phosphorylation sites on the Drosophila circadian protein PERIOD (PER). Mutations in casein kinase 2 (CK2) result in abnormal circadian phenotypes and altered PER nuclear localization, and CK2 specifically phosphorylates PER in vitro. The authors fo...
