2018-10-20

iPSC-derived iHLCs offer a unique advantage in that they can be generated from any donor, which allows a broad spectrum of the human population to be represented in in vitro drug screens and provides an opportunity to assess donor-specific drug responses in vitro. Recent collaborations between drug

Molecular characterization of neurodegenerative pathologies

2018-10-20

Molecular characterization of neurodegenerative pathologies designates that reactive astrogliosis involves a number of changes in morphology, gene expression, and function of astrocytes, which in that state share hallmarks with NPCs (Robel et al., 2011). Astrocytes constitute the most abundant glial

The genomic stability of hIPSCs has been extensively studied since this could be a major limitation for clinical applications (Aasen et al., 2008). Factors that affect the genomic integrity of stem rxr receptor include culture conditions, number of passages, and enzymatic and non-enzymatic dissociat

2018-10-20

Small or immature teratomas are particularly hard to detect due to the lack of tissues with high secretion levels such as gland-like structures. In line with that, we found one teratoma in our test set for which none of the eight tested biomarkers was positive. Histological characterization showed t

Introduction Cardiovascular diseases rank the first in cause of death, which account for ∼30% of all deaths worldwide (Mozaffarian et al., 2015). Unlike robust cardiac regeneration observed in adult zebrafish and embryonic and neonatal mice (Porrello et al., 2011; Poss et al., 2002; Sturzu et al.
