Epicardial/Mesothelial cell line retains vasculogenic potential of embryonic epicardium.
Recent work has demonstrated the importance of the epicardium in the development of the heart. During embryogenesis, these epithelial cells provide the progenitors for the epicardium, coronary smooth muscle, endothelium, and cardiac fibroblasts. The epicardium sends important signals to the developing myocardium. Still, analysis of these epithelial cells has lagged behind that of other cardiac ...
متن کاملThe adult CNS retains the potential to direct region-specific differentiation of a transplanted neuronal precursor cell line.
The chronic survival and differentiation of the conditionally immortalized neuronal cell line, RN33B, was examined following transplantation into the adult and neonatal rat hippocampus and cerebral cortex. In clonal culture, differentiated RN33B cells express p75NTR and trkB mRNA and protein, and respond to brain-derived neurotrophic factor treatment by inducing c-fos mRNA. Transplanted cells, ...
متن کاملEmbryonic development of the heart. II. Formation of the epicardium.
The mature heart may be thought of as consisting of three layers, endocardium, myocardium, and an outer investing tissue called the epicardium. During early formation of the tubular heart of chick embryos, at about the 8-somite stage, two tissue layers become clearly discernible with the light microscope: the endocardium and the developing myocardial wall. The outer epicardial layer does not ap...
متن کاملThe embryonic epicardium: an essential element of cardiac development
The epicardium has recently been identified as an active and essential element of cardiac development. Recent reports have unveiled a variety of functions performed by the embryonic epicardium, as well as the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating them. However, despite its developmental importance, a number of unsolved issues related to embryonic epicardial biology persist. In this revie...
متن کاملDifferentiation 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 ...
