Highlight report: Blueprint for stem cell differentiation into liver cells
Stem cell research is of high interest, because precursor cells can be directed to differentiate into practically all mature cell types. This represents a potential perspective for therapeutics of severely damaged organs and also an alternative to animal drug and toxicity testing. Nonetheless, an essential question still remains: How similar are differentiated stem cells to the desired mature c...
متن کاملCurrent status of human pluripotent stem cell based in vitro toxicity tests.
The present review assesses the current status of in vitro tests based on human pluripotent stem cell-derived toxicologically relevant target cells. The majority of the evaluated test systems are in the phase of test development. In particular the success rates of differentiation protocols and their reproducibility are varying depending on different culture conditions but also on the assessed m...
متن کاملWilms tumor chromatin profiles highlight stem cell properties and a renal developmental network.
Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric kidney cancer. To identify transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms that drive this disease, we compared genome-wide chromatin profiles of Wilms tumors, embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and normal kidney. Wilms tumors prominently exhibit large active chromatin domains previously observed in ESCs. In the cancer, these domains frequently correspond to genes t...
متن کاملTrend tests for proportional responses in developmental toxicity experiments.
The data from developmental toxicity experiments usually are very difficult to analyze statistically because of the lack of independence among littermates and the random nature of the litter size. Only a few of the models that have been proposed in the literature have accounted for both of these features. One of the models proposed by Van Ryzin is invoked to construct a test of trend (dose resp...
متن کاملEmbryonic stem cell-based mapping of developmental transcriptional programs
Study of developmentally regulated transcription factors by chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) faces two major obstacles: availability of ChIP grade antibodies and access to sufficient number of cells. We describe a versatile method for genome-wide analysis of transcription factor binding sites by combining directed differentiation of embryonic stem cells and inducible expr...
