MicroRNA Regulation of Embryonic Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Differentiation.
Stem cell differentiation requires a complex coordination of events to transition from a self-renewing to a differentiated cell fate. Stem cells can be pluripotent (capable of giving rise to all embryonic lineages), multipotent (possessing the potential to give rise to multiple lineages) and unipotent (capable of given rise to a single cell lineage). Regardless of their potency all stem cells m...
متن کاملEmbryonic Stem Cell Self-Renewal, Analyzed
Maintaining the pluripotency of mouse ES cells requires both LIF (leukemia inhibitory factor) and unknown factors in serum. The paper from Ying et al. in this issue of Cell shows that BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) can replace serum in this capacity, defining molecular requirements for ES cell self-renewal.
متن کاملNiche-mediated control of human embryonic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation.
Complexity in the spatial organization of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) cultures creates heterogeneous microenvironments (niches) that influence hESC fate. This study demonstrates that the rate and trajectory of hESC differentiation can be controlled by engineering hESC niche properties. Niche size and composition regulate the balance between differentiation-inducing and -inhibiting factors....
متن کاملAlbumin-Associated Lipids Regulate Human Embryonic Stem Cell Self-Renewal
BACKGROUND Although human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold great promise as a source of differentiated cells to treat several human diseases, many obstacles still need to be surmounted before this can become a reality. First among these, a robust chemically-defined system to expand hESCs in culture is still unavailable despite recent advances in the understanding of factors controlling hESC se...
متن کاملMultilineage differentiation from human embryonic stem cell lines.
Stem cells are unique cell populations with the ability to undergo both self-renewal and differentiation. A wide variety of adult mammalian tissues harbors stem cells, yet "adult" stem cells may be capable of developing into only a limited number of cell types. In contrast, embryonic stem (ES) cells, derived from blastocyst-stage early mammalian embryos, have the ability to form any fully diffe...
