S13-05 Harnessing epithelial stem cell potency
naling events that are continuously modified by environmental cues. However, the details of how these processes can change cell fate choices are still unknown. Previously, we demonstrated that sustained expression of HOXA3 both accelerated wound healing and promoted neovascularisation in diabetic mice. We have subsequently shown that in response to injury HOXA3 induces a significant increase in...
متن کاملHarnessing the therapeutic potential of myogenic stem cells.
The potential clinical use of stem cells for cell transplantation therapies to replace defective genes in myopathies is an area of intense investigation. Precursor cells derived from non-muscle tissue with myogenic potential have been identified in many tissues, including bone marrow and dermis, although the status of these putative stem cells requires clarification. The incorporation of circul...
متن کاملHarnessing phytochrome's glowing potential.
Directed evolution of a cyanobacterial phytochrome was undertaken to elucidate the structural basis of its light sensory activity by remodeling the chemical environment of its linear tetrapyrrole prosthetic group. In addition to identifying a small region of the apoprotein critical for maintaining phytochrome's native spectroscopic properties, our studies revealed a tyrosine-to-histidine mutati...
متن کاملHarnessing Traction-Mediated Manipulation of the Cell-Matrix Interface to Control Stem Cell Fate
Stem cells sense and respond to the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix. However, both the extent to which extracellular-matrix mechanics affect stem-cell fate in three-dimensional microenvironments and the underlying biophysical mechanisms are unclear. We demonstrate that the commitment of mesenchymal stem-cell populations changes in response to the rigidity of three-dimensional ...
متن کاملEffect of Dexamethasone, Insulin and EGF on the Myogenic Potential on Human Endometrial Stem Cell
Human endometrium contains mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC) which have the ability to differentiate into three cell lineages and the potential in therapeutic applications. We hypothesize that using environmental induction in culture media such as dexamethasone, human recombinant insulin and human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) can differentiate endometrial stem cells into myoblast. These agents ha...
