[ 1 ] - Gene Expression Status and Methylation Pattern in Promoter of P15INK4b and P16INK4a in Cord Blood CD34+ Stem Cells
Objective(s): Stem cell differentiation into different cell lineages depends upon several factors, cell cycle control elements and intracellular signaling elements, including P15INK4b and P16INK4a genes. Epigenetics may be regarded as a control mechanism which is affected by these factors with respect to their promoter structure. Materials and Methods: The CD34 + cord blood s...
[ 2 ] - Evaluation of Changes in Global DNA Methylation during Osteoblastic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A Laboratory Study
Background and Objectives: Control processes in osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells are not yet fully understood. Epigenetic mechanisms, especially the methylation of CpG Islands in the promoter of genes, are considered as one of the most important control mechanisms in stem cell differentiation. In the process of differentiation, it is debated whether only the methylation of...
