cKit+ cardiac progenitors of neural crest origin.
The degree to which cKit-expressing progenitors generate cardiomyocytes in the heart is controversial. Genetic fate-mapping studies suggest minimal contribution; however, whether or not minimal contribution reflects minimal cardiomyogenic capacity is unclear because the embryonic origin and role in cardiogenesis of these progenitors remain elusive. Using high-resolution genetic fate-mapping app...
متن کاملIdentity crisis?
This article responds to arguments made in a recent paper by Bucholtz and Hall (Bucholtz, M., Hall, K., 2004. Theorizing identity in language and sexuality research. Language in Society 33, 469–515), in which two contrasting approaches to language and sexuality, dubbed ‘‘identity-based’’ and ‘‘desire-centered’’, are identified, and the latter is critiqued. As well as seeking to correct some ina...
متن کاملA Breakdown in Cooperativity Leads to Cardiac Identity Crisis
Using induced pluripotent stem cells, Ang et al. elucidate how a mutation in the transcription factor GATA4 causes congenital heart disease. They find that, although the recruitment of GATA4 to cardiac super-enhancers is retained, it no longer functions in partnership with another key transcription factor, leading to misexpression of non-cardiomyocyte genes.
متن کاملReprogramming Cellular Identity for Regenerative Medicine
Although development leads unidirectionally toward more restricted cell fates, recent work in cellular reprogramming has proven that one cellular identity can strikingly convert into another, promising countless applications in biomedical research and paving the way for modeling diseases with patient-derived stem cells. To date, there has been little discussion of which disease models are likel...
متن کاملRecent Progress Using Pluripotent Stem Cells for Cardiac Regenerative Therapy.
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have gained interest for cell-based regenerative therapies because of their capacity to differentiate into most somatic cell types, including cardiomyocytes. Remarkable progress in the generation of PSC-derived cardiomyocytes has been made in this decade, and recent preclinical transplantation studies using various animal models have provided proof-of-principle for...
