Abstract:

The inability of a plant to run from danger or seek nutrients necessitates its capacity to change the environment of the surrounding soil for protection and sustenance. A unique plant process, the release of thousands of autonomous cells from the root cap, called root border cells, may play a role in the ability of the plant to regulate microbial populations and nutrient availability in the rhizosphere. In this study, evidence is presented showing that root border cells are a differentiated tissue, that the production of border cells is highly regulated and tied to cell turnover in the root ca

Abstract:

The relationship between cellular proliferation and differentiation is a major topic in cell biology. What we know comes from models of somatic cell differentiation, where it is widely viewed that cycling and differentiation are coupled, antagonistic phenomena linked at the G1 phase. The extension of this view to stem cells, however, is unclear. One potential possibility is that stem cells also tightly link their G1 phase with their differentiation, indicating a similarity between the differentiation of stem cells and the differentiation of more mature somatic cells. On the other hand, stem ce

Abstract:

The ileal Peyer's patch (IPP) of lambs is a region of intense lymphopoiesis and B cell development. Monoclonal antibodies against ovine lymphoctye antigens have been used to characterise the IPP lymphocyte. Three murine monoclonal antibodies against ovine IgM, IgG1 and Ig light chain were produced and are described fully. IgM and MHC class II antigens are expressed on the vast majority of IPP cells whilst cells bearing other serum Ig isotypes and T cell antigens are rare. A novel Ig molecule appears to be coexpressed with IgM, it is proposed that this is the ovine equivalent of IgD. IPP cells

Abstract:

A Differentiation Factor (DF) was purified from rat lung conditioned medium by a four-steps procedure. The DF has a molecular weight of 27000, and an isoelectric point of 4.70. Although DF is stable up to 60°C, it is sensitive to digestion by trypsin, chymotrypsin and subtilisin. DF forms granulocyte colonies in soft agar. Studies using anti-NRK CSF antibody demonstrated that DF is distinct from GM-CSF.

Abstract:

Goblet cells are one of the three fully differentiated lineages in human colonic crypts. They play an important role in protecting epithelial cells from direct contact with luminal contents by secreting mucus, which consists of MUC2, TFF3 and other constituents. The goblet cell differentiation, however, is largely dysregulated in human colorectal cancers. Abundant expression of MUC2 is often observed in signet ring carcinomas and mucinous carcinomas that are associated with unsatisfactory prognosis. Despite the significant roles of goblet cells, its genetic nature and exact regulatory mechanis

Trans-differentiation is the term applied where one fully differentiated cell type changes into another fully differentiated cell type. The AR432J-B13 cell line has been shown to demonstrate this phenomenon in vitro. These cells of exocrine pancreatic lineage, can trans-differentiate into hepatocytes upon treatment with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone. This thesis demonstrates that the generation of these cells (B13-H) from AR42J-B13 cells could prove to be a novel source of hepatocytes in culture. B13-H cells express functionally active and inducible CYP enzymes for at least 30 day

The focus of this thesis was to explore different strategies in trying to generate putative pancreatic β-cells using one of the initial Wisconsin H7 hES cell lines.

Spontaneous differentiation of hES cells can be induced by the formation of embryoid bodies (EBs) in suspension culture. EBs began to express markers of pancreatic β-cell development and function at a mole

Abstract:

Key regulatory events take place at very early stages of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) differentiation to accommodate their ability to differentiate into different lineages; this work examines two separate regulatory events. To investigate precise mechanisms that link alterations in the cell cycle and early differentiation, we examined the initial stages of mesendodermal lineage commitment and observed a cell cycle pause that occurred concurrently with an increase in genes that regulate the G2/M transition, including WEE1. Inhibition of WEE1 prevented the G2 pause. Directed differentiation

Bmpr1a-null ES cells did not respond to BMP4 but retained a degree of SMAD1/5/8 activation and Id1 expression. This activation was likely due to BMP7 signalling via ACVR1.

How do precursor cells know when it is time to stop dividing and differentiate? The phenomenon of lineage-specific progenitor cells undergoing a limited period of proliferation prior to terminal differentiation is a common theme in multicellular development.

Breast carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, with approximately 1 in 7 expected to be affected during her lifetime.

Bone is the preferred site of metastasis, where the development of a secondary tumour causes severe osteolysis, hypercalcemia and a considerable pain burden. However, how breast cancer cells establish supportive interactions with bone cells is not well understood.

Specification of a germ cell lineage and appropriate maturation are essential for the transfer of genetic information from one generation to the next. Germ cells form from pluripotent precursor cells that migrate into the gonadal ridge and undergo commitment to either the female or male lineage. In the fetal ovary, germ cells enter meiotic prophase I, then arrest at the diplotene stage; in the testis germ cells do not begin meiosis until puberty. Abnormal differentiation of germ cells can result in malignant transformation. Somatic cells play a key role in modulating the developmental fate of

Stem cell homeostasis and differentiation are controlled by the complex interplay of a wide range of signalling pathways and small molecules, including all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). The endogenous effects elicited by ATRA, have led to its use in numerous in vitro protocols as a tool for cell differentiation. However, ATRA isomerises and degrades under standard laboratory conditions and furthermore, is rapidly metabolised in vivo, which leads to pleotropic effects and a high efficacious dose response. Consequently, synthetic analogues that are structurally and/or functionally equivalent to AT
