A variety of studies have compared the expression profiles, pluripotentiality, and genetic and epigenetic stability of hESC and iPSC including lines generated using different strategies, distinct parental somatic cell types, or reprogramming methods (Bock et al., 2011; International Stem Cell Initia

2018-10-20

The pituitary gland is considered the master gland of hormone function. Hypopituitarism is a disease condition with insufficient or absent function of the pituitary gland. Pituitary tumors are the most common cause but many other triggers can induce pituitary dysfunction including inborn genetic def

The experimental design of this model provides several differences to standard 2D culture: EHTs are anchored between two flexible silicone posts, which generate a preload, and EHTs perform auxotonic contractile work (the physiological form of cardiac contraction) against elastic posts. This results

2018-10-20

The ability to use cell-surface proteins to specifically sort iPSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells is currently limited. The liver-specific cell-surface protein ASGR1 has been used to sort human ESC- and iPSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells (Basma et al., 2009; Peters et al., 2016). These studies demons
