The Mammary Gland Microenvironment Directs Progenitor Cell Fate In Vivo
The mammary gland is a unique organ that continually undergoes postnatal developmental changes. In mice, the mammary gland is formed via signals from terminal end buds, which direct ductal growth and elongation. Intriguingly, it is likely that the entire cellular repertoire of the mammary gland is formed from a single antecedent cell. Furthermore, in order to produce progeny of varied lineages ...
متن کاملEpigenetic predisposition to reprogramming fates in somatic cells.
Reprogramming to pluripotency is a low-efficiency process at the population level. Despite notable advances to molecularly characterize key steps, several fundamental aspects remain poorly understood, including when the potential to reprogram is first established. Here, we apply live-cell imaging combined with a novel statistical approach to infer when somatic cells become fated to generate dow...
متن کاملMicroenvironment Promotes Tumor Cell Reprogramming in Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines
The microenvironment drives mammary gland development and function, and may influence significantly both malignant behavior and cell growth of mammary cancer cells. By restoring context, and forcing cells to properly interpret native signals from the microenvironment, the cancer cell aberrant behavior can be quelled, and organization re-established. In order to restore functional and morphologi...
متن کاملI-12: Nuclear Reprogramming in Bovin Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT or cloning) returns a differentiated cell to a totipotent status; a process termed nuclear reprogramming. Reproductive cloning has potential applications in both agriculture and biomedicine, but is limited by low efficiency. To understand the deficiencies of nuclear reprogramming, our research has focused on both candidate genes and global gene expression pat...
متن کاملReprogramming Postnatal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes Toward Functional Neural Crest Fates.
During development, neural crest (NC) cells are induced by signaling events at the neural plate border of all vertebrate embryos. Initially arising within the central nervous system, NC cells subsequently undergo an epithelial to mesenchymal transition to migrate into the periphery, where they differentiate into diverse cell types. Here we provide evidence that postnatal human epidermal keratin...
