the primary feature of the mammalian skin includes the hair follicle, inter-follicular epidermis and the sebaceous glands, all of which form pilo-sebaceous units. the epidermal protective layer undergoes an ordered/programmed process of proliferation and differentiation, ultimately culminating in the formation of a cornified envelope consisting of enucleated corneocytes. these terminally differ...

The fecundity in sheep has been much interested for producers due to its economical importance. Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is an autosomal gene with over dominance effect for twosingle nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs), which resulted in sterility in homozygote mutant ewes and additive effect for three SNPs, without showing sterility event. In the present study, DNA was extracted from ...

research about potential use of stem cells for the development of germ line cells in vitro had been challenged. in the present study, we reported a novel protocol consisting of cocktail growth factor addition for germ cell differentiation followed by transfection. the cells were purificated based on the expression on the cell surface of a protein. this protein is not present in normal cells of ...

Differentiation-stimulating factor (D-factor)/leukemia inhibitory factor can induce the differentiation of mouse myeloid leukemia M1 cells and also stimulate proliferation of the interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent cell line, DA-1a. To determine whether D-factor can induce the differentiation of leukemia cells other than M1 cells, WEHI-3B D+ mouse myelomonocytic leukemia cells were transfected with ...

objective: cardiac cell differentiation with the help of mirnas has recently opened a promising window for the restoration of myocardial infarction. independent mir-1-2/133a-1 and mir-206/133b clusters are known to be expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscles, respectively. mir-133b differs from mir-133a by only one nucleotide. the sequence similarity of these two mirnas suggests that they targ...

In our previous study, 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR) increased the expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor in human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs) via transforming factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-mediated pathway. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrial stress is a positive regulator cellular differentiation. As TGF-β1 master for differentiation, 4HR treatment may increase ER stress. this HUVEC...

AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) has been reported as a key m6A demethylase that is involved in development and diseases; however, the function of ALKBH5 osteogenesis remains unknown. In this study, we report mRNA protein expression were upregulated during osteoblast differentiation knockdown suppressed differentiation, mineralization, osteogenic biomarkers. Conversely, overexpression promoted osteogene...

Background and Objectives: The mesenchymal stem cells derived from peripheral blood (PB) have been recognized as a promising source for allogeneic cell therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the isolation, growth and differentiation ability of peripheral blood-isolated mesenchymal stem cells. Methods: The mononuclear cells were purified from fr...

Differentiating syndrome factor and forming syndrome type according to symptoms and signs are the rules and processes of syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM syndrome differentiation is a nonlinear complex giant system. In order to solve the key problem of determination of diagnosing weight value for syndrome factor differentiation, a new algorithm of double level...
