Successful derivation of pancreatic progenitors from human embryonic stem ceils (hESCs) in vitro and further differentiation towards functional p cells in vivo may create the possibility of using hESC-derived pancre...
We are pleased to announce the winners of the 3rd Sanofi-Cell Research Outstanding Paper Award, which were selected from papers published in the 2011 print issues of Cell Research. The 2011 Sanofi-Cell Research Outsta...
Pre-leukemic MLL-AF4 fusions arise prenatally and typically read to overt acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at or shortly after birth. In a recent study, Bueuo and colleagues explored the effects of MLL-AF4 express...
Dear Editor, Gene targeting is in widespread use as a gold stan- dard for determining the function of genes in mice and human embryonic stem cells [1]. However, the poor ef- ficiency of this technology has hindered i...
With their unique features of sell'- renewal and pluripotency, human embryonic stem (hES) cells are considered to be a nearly unlimited resource for research and clinical applications [1]. Accordingly,
Gene targeting is the method of precise genome modification that utilizes the innate DNA repair mechanism in cells, known as homologous recombination. At its genesis, gene targeting in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell...
Autoimmune destruction of insulin producing pancreatic β cells results in type 1 diabetes, a condition for which there is presently no cure. Clinical trials indicate that, in some instances, control of blood glucose ...
