Stem cells bring fast direct improvement, without differentiation, in acute renal failure
Acute renal failure, or ARF, is as serious as it sounds. An estimated 40% of critical care hospital admissions experience ARF. Estimates of their death rate range from 50% to 80%, complicated by the fact that patients with ARF often simultaneously suffer failure of other major organ systems. The most serious form of ARF is caused by ischemia, or loss of blood supply to the kidneys caused b...Genetic tug of war determines sexual differentiation
Whether or not a fertilized mammalian egg ultimately develops into a male or female is determined by the winner of a tug of war between two different genes encoding signaling proteins and the divergent pathways they control, according to a new study led by Duke University Medical Center cell biologists. In their experiments in mice, the researchers found that two specific genes, Wnt4 and F...Detailed 3-D image catches a key regulator of neural stem cell differentiation in action
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in collaboration with scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) took a high resolution "action shot" of a protein switch that plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system. Their findings, published in the Dec. 8 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, provide a template for the design of small molecule inhib...Mouse Dopaminergic Neuron Differentiation Kit, 2nd Generation from R&D Systems
Description:Reagents for the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells to dopaminergic neurons. Dopamine cell bodies exist in the midbrain, where they are mainly located in the substantia nigra, the ventral tegmental area, and the retrorubral field. These dopaminergic (DA) neurons give rise to extensive forebrain dopamine innervation ( e.g.projections to the caudate nucleus, putamen nucleus accumbens,...BD Hepatocyte Differentiation Environment from BD Biosciences - Discovery Labware
