Embryonic stem cell differentiation studied by FT-IR spectroscopy

Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell into Insulin-Secreting Cell

Purpose: Differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into Insulin secreting endocrine cells. Materials and Methods: In this study, Royan B1 mouse embryonic stem cell (derived from C57BL/6 mouse) were used. In directed differentiation method, embryonicstem cells after embryoid bodies formation were differentiated into insulin secreting cells. Nestin positive cells were obtained after culture ...

FT-IR Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

Review Paper: Embryonic Stem Cell and Osteogenic Differentiation

Bone tissue engineering has been one of the most promising areas of research, providing a potential clinical application to cure bone defects. Recently, various stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCB-MSCs), adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), muscle-derived stem cell...

FT-IR Spectroscopy in Medicine

Infrared spectroscopy has been widely applied for the characterisation of various substances. Due to its sensitivity to the chemical information and architecture of the molecule, infrared spectroscopy can play an important role in new applications such as in the life-science field and not only in the traditional fields of physics and chemistry. Spectroscopic techniques are simple, reproducible,...

Ultrastructural Aspects of Pulp Fibers as Studied by Dynamic FT-IR Spectroscopy

Dynamic (or 2D) FT-IR spectroscopy in combination with polarized IR irradiation has been used in this work to study wood polymer orientation and interactions on the ultrastructural level in wood fibers in the native state as well as the effects of different pulping processes. The wood polymer interactions were studied under both dry and humid conditions. The matrix of lignin and hemicelluloses ...
