background: erythropoietin (epo) is a glycoprotein hormone function to regulate the production of red blood cells. deficiency of epo is known to cause anemia in chronically infected renal patients and they require regular blood transfusion. availability of recombinant epo has eliminated the need for blood transfusion and now it is extensively used for the treatment of anemia. glycosylation of e...

Abstract Pluripotent stem cells (PSC) are important for several areas of bio-medicine, including cell replacement therapy and embryonic development. Non-human primates (NHP) paramount importance as human models translating therapies into the clinic. However, this requires NHP-PSC that meet specific quality criteria. We have generated appropriate NHP-PSC. Our work contributes to making NHP even ...

(Cell 184, 2020–2032.e1–e14; April 15, 2021) In the original version of this paper, we failed to include in author list Hongkui Deng, who made a critical contribution work by providing extended pluripotent stem cells. The online paper has been corrected. All co-authors have approved addition. We also cited preliminary manuscript deposited on bioRxiv (Aksoy et al., 2020) instead published study ...

In the past 5 years, China has increased its efforts in the field of stem cell research and practice. Basic research mainly focuses on bone marrow and embryonic stem cells. Clinical applications of stem cells in the treatment of acute heart failure, acute liver failure and lower limb ischaemia have been reported by many hospitals. China enacted its 'Ethical Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem C...

background new research proposes the pluripotency of spermatogonial cells obtained from testis. these spermatogonia-derived stem cells are called embryonic stem-like cells that express embryonic stem cell markers and differentiate to the three germ layers. objectives the aim of the present study was to generate embryonic stem-like cells from neonatal mouse testis. materials and methods the test...

Human embryonic stem cell differentiation towards various cell types belonging to ecto-, endo- and mesodermal cell lineages has been demonstrated, with high efficiency rates using standardized differentiation protocols. However, germ cell differentiation from human embryonic stem cells has been very inefficient so far. Even though the influence of various growth factors has been evaluated, the ...

introduction: doxorubicin is frequently used for treatment of several types of cancer. doxorubicin cardiac toxicity has limited the use of this drug. corticosteroids may prevent doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity. therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate mouse embryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes as a model to evaluate the effect of doxorubicin and dexamethasone. methods: mouse em...

background degenerative retinal diseases, including age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and hereditary retinal dystrophies are major causes of blindness. the principal defect in these diseases is cell loss which is amenable to both cell based neuroprotective and neuroregenerative therapies. to briefly review the lines of research and potential candidates for cell based therapies among r...
