Nuclear Architecture and Epigenetics of Lineage Choice
Differentiation is an epigenetic process which is installed by changes of transcriptional programs over successive cellular divisions. A number of studies have reported the effects of biochemical modifications of chromatin (DNA and chromatin proteins) on the regulation of transcription. Although, these studies are able to explain how transcription of a given gene is regulated (toward activation...
متن کاملSpermatogonia stem cells: A new pluripotent source for repairment in regenerative medicine
Recently new reports have proved the pluripotency of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) derived from male gonad. This pluripotent stem cells resembled Embryonic stem cells recognized as Embryonic Stem like cells (ES like cells). ES like cells forms sharp edge colonies that are immunopositive to pluripotency markers and have differentiation capacity to Ectodermal, Mesodermal and Endodermal layers....

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells which have the ability to indefinitely self-renew and differentiate into all differentiated cells of the body. Regarding their two main properties (unlimited self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation), these cells have various biomedical applications in basic research and cell based therapy. Because the transplantation of differentiated cells...
متن کاملUnderstanding pluripotency--how embryonic stem cells keep their options open.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the capacity to proliferate indefinitely in culture while maintaining the ability to differentiate to form any of the cells of the body. This unique combination of functions suggests that these cells could provide a potentially unlimited source of differentiated cells for the treatment of disease and aging. Understanding the molecular processes that underpin these...
متن کاملEvaluation and Comparison of the Expression Levels of the ZBTB16 (Plzf) and ZFP Genes and Alkaline Phosphatase in Three Cell Populations: Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells, Embryonic Stem-Like Cells (Es-Like), And Embryonic Stem Cells
Introduction: One of the vital enzymes during spermatogenesis, which is one of the pluripotency factors of stem cells and contributes to maintaining their pluripotency is alkaline phosphatase. ZBTB16 and ZFP proteins are critical elements in stem cells which are expressed in pluripotent stem cells and maintain their pluripotency due to their role in messaging pathways. Material & Methods: The ...
