Upward bound: follicular stem cell fate decisions.
Recent data suggest that heterogeneous compartments of the bulge display differential gene expression, and supply cells to different lineages within the pilosebaceous unit (Jaks et al, 2008; Jensen et al, 2009; Snippert et al, 2010). In particular, Lgr6 and Lrig1 are expressed above the CD34þ bulge region and Lgr6 expressing cells contribute primarily to the sebaceous gland (Figure 1). Thus, if...
متن کاملModulated DISP3/PTCHD2 expression influences neural stem cell fate decisions
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are defined by their dual ability to self-renew through mitotic cell division or differentiate into the varied neural cell types of the CNS. DISP3/PTCHD2 is a sterol-sensing domain-containing protein, highly expressed in neural tissues, whose expression is regulated by thyroid hormone. In the present study, we used a mouse NSC line to investigate what effect DISP3 may h...
متن کاملOxygen and Cell Fate Decisions
Molecular oxygen has been known to play a critical role in a wide range of biological processes including glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, angiogenesis, pulmonary functions, and cardiovascular activities. An emerging theme has developed in recent years that oxygen has significant impact on embryonic development, maintenance of stem cells, and cellular differentiation or cell fate decision...
متن کاملCell Fate Decisions During Breast Cancer Development
During the formation of breast cancer, many genes become altered as cells evolve progressively from normal to a pre-malignant to a malignant state of growth. How mutations in genes lead to specific subtypes of human breast cancer is only partially understood. Here we review how initial genetic or epigenetic alterations within mammary epithelial cells (MECs) can alter cell fate decisions and put...
متن کاملDwelling on T Cell Fate Decisions
Defining determinants of T cell fate is central to understanding adaptive immunity and the design of effective vaccines. Tubo et al. demonstrate that intrinsic properties of T cell receptor signaling dictate whether CD4 T cells adopt predominantly type 1 helper or follicular helper T cell phenotypes in response to bacterial or viral infection.
