Reducing the Mystery of Neuronal Differentiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the developing nervous system, neural progenitors exit the cell cycle and differentiate on a precise schedule, yet the mechanisms driving this process remain poorly defined. Yan et al. (2009) now identify a thiol-redox reaction mediated by the membrane protein GDE2 and the peroxiredoxin protein Prdx1 that promotes neurogenesis.

Improving the neuronal differentiation efficiency of umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultivated under appropriate conditions
Objective(s): Umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UCB-MSCs) are ideally suited for use in various cell-based therapies. We investigated a novel induction protocol (NIP) to improve the neuronal differentiation of human UCB-MSCs under appropriate conditions. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was performed in Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization (IBTO), Tehran, I...
متن کاملHigh neuronal/astroglial differentiation plasticity of adult rat hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells in response to the effects of embryonic and adult cerebrospinal fluids
Hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (hipp-NS/PCs) of the adult mammalian brain are important sources of neuronal and gial cell production. In this study, the main goal is to investigate the plasticity of these cells in neuronal/astroglial differentiations. To this end, the differentiation of the hipp-NS/PCs isolated from 3-month-old Wistar rats was investigated in response to the embryonic...
متن کاملScutellarin may alleviate cognitive deficits in a mouse model of hypoxia by promoting proliferation and neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells
Objective(s): Scutellarin, a flavonoid extracted from the medicinal herb Erigeron breviscapus Hand-Mazz, protects neurons from damage and inhibits glial activation. Here we examined whether scutellarin may also protect neurons from hypoxia-induced damage. Materials and Methods: Mice were exposed to hypoxia for 7 days and then administered scutellarin (50 mg/kg/d) or vehicle for 30 days Cognitiv...
متن کاملEffect of Different Doses of Staurosporine For Neuronal Differentiation
Purpose: The present study was designed to investigate the effect of different doses of Staurosporine on differentiation of PC-12 cell line into differentiated neuronal cells. Materials and Methods: PC-12 cell line as a useful model system for neurobiological studies was maintained in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS. Staurosporine were added to culture medium in different concentrations (1...
متن کاملSelenium nanoparticles inclusion into chitosan hydrogels act as a chemical inducer for differentiation of PC12 cells into neuronal cells
Background and Objective: Biomaterials and nanomaterials have generated a great opportunity in regenerative medicine. Neurological disorders can result in permanent and severe derangement in motor and sensory functions. This study was conducted to examine the effects of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) as a chemical inducer for differentiation of PC12 cells into sympathetic-like neurons characte...
