embryonic stem cells (escs) as pluripotent stem cells have the potential to give rise to all three germ layer cells. also, these cells have the self-renewing ability. escs could differentiate into most of cell lineages. lymphocytes generated from hematopoietic stem cells. we designed a feeder free culture condition to generate lymphoid lineage cells from escs. we demonstrated that il-7 plays cr...

The aim of this in vitro study was assessment the cytotoxic level 6-O-desmethylnaproxen. A mouse connective tissue fibroblast cell line, L929 exposed to naproxen and 6-O-desmethylnaproxen different concentrations for 24- 48- hours. Cell viability tested by MTT, while apoptosis determined AO/PI double staining method. control group free from any agent (DMEM only) accepted as 100% viability. IC50...

signaling in pluripotent stem cells is a complex and dynamic process involving multiple mediators, finely tuned to balancing pluripotency and differentiation states. characterizing and modifying the necessary signaling pathways to attain desired cell types is required for stem-cell applications in various fields of regenerative medicine. these signals may help enhance the differentiation potent...

The cell adhesion molecule Cadherin 2 (Cdh2) plays important roles in somatic cell adhesion, proliferation and migration. Cdh2 is also highly expressed in mouse epiblast stem cells (mEpiSCs), but its function in these cells is unknown. To understand the function of Cdh2 in mEpiSCs, we compared the expression of pluripotency-related genes in mEpiSCs and mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) after e...

RATIONALE Fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHFs), a subfamily of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) that are incapable of functioning as growth factors, are intracellular modulators of Na(+) channels and have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases. Although certain FHFs have been found in embryonic heart, they have not been reported in adult heart, and they have not been shown to r...
