Project description:The goal of this experiment was to determine whether transcriptionally similar ESC-derived and primary donor cells give rise to similar donor-derived cells following transplantation into bleomycin injured lungs.
Project description:The goal of this experiment was to determine whether transplantation of ESC-derived tip-like cells had any discernable impact on gene expression or clustering in non-epithelial cells.
Project description:We studied the effects of different stimuli on on the subcellular proteome of neurons differentiated from murine embryonic stem cells (ESC). We focused on the changes in the chromatin-bound fraction to elucidate specific differences in the gene regulatory machinery activated upon stimulation with Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) or a general membrane-depolarization stimulus, potassium chloride (KCl).
Project description:Neuropathic pain causes severe suffering and most patients are resilient to current therapies. A core element of neuropathic pain is the loss of inhibitory tone in the spinal cord. Previous studies have shown that foetal GABAergic neuron precursors can provide relief from pain. However, the source of these precursor cells and their multipotent status make them unsuitable for therapeutic use. Here we extend these findings by showing, for the first time, that spinally transplanted, terminally differentiated hiPSC-derived GABAergic (iGABAergic) neurons provide significant, long-term and safe relief from neuropathic pain induced by peripheral nerve injury in mice. Furthermore, iGABAergic Neuron transplants survive long term in the injured spinal cord and show evidence of synaptic integration. Together, this provides the proof in principle for the first viable GABAergic transplants to treat human neuropathic pain patients.
Project description:To study genes specially expressed in root tip, leaf tip, shoot tip, root (without root tip) and leaf (without leaf tip) of Ceratopteris richardii, we carried out an RNA-seq to analyze gene expression levels from these five tissues.
Project description:The goal of this experiment was to compare the transcriptome of transplanted mouse ESC-derived cells and endogenous epithelial cells at 15 weeks post transplantation into a syngeneic wild type recipient. In addition these cells were compared to ESC-derived and primary mouse tip-like cells grown in culture, to determine how cultured cells changed followeing transplantation.
Project description:Differences of metabolism-related gene expression profiles in human ESCs and ESC-derived purified cardiomyocytes were analyzed and successfully identified. Human ESCs and ESC-derived purified cardiomyocytes were used for this experiment.
Project description:We analysed global gene expression in the primary root tip of 2 pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) inbred lines with high (line 249) and low (line 337) primary root growth using RNAseq. The objective was to identify genes potentially associated with changes in root growth.
