The in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for clinical applications is hampered by a rapid loss of HSC blood reconstitution capability in culture. While these rare cells can be stimulated to massively proliferate, cell divisions mostly resul ...
Macrophages facilitate tumour progression, but it is unclear whether this capability is influenced by tumour-initiating cells. Glioblastoma stem cells are now shown to secrete periostin, a matrix protein that recruits protumoral macrophages and enhances gl ...
Hierarchical organization of tissues relies on stem cells, which either self-renew or produce committed progenitors predestined for lineage differentiation. Here we identify HOXA5 as an important repressor of intestinal stem cell fate in vivo and identify ...
The Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) is a self-renewing multipotent progenitor originally found in the bone marrow. It has drawn strong interest from translational research because of the multipotency of MSCs, their immunosuppression, their intrinsic homing and ...
Growth of numerous cancer types is believed to be driven by a subpopulation of poorly differentiated cells, often referred to as cancer stem cells (CSCs), that have the capacity for self-renewal, tumor initiation, and generation of nontumorigenic progeny. ...

Calnexin is a well-characterized transnnembrane chaperone involved in the folding of newly synthesized glycoproteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we reveal a previously unrecognized function of calnexin in regulating the transcript ...
Cultured human epidermal keratinocyte stem cells (holoclones) are crucial for regenerative medicine for burns and genetic disorders. In serial culture, holoclones progressively lose their proliferative capacity to become transient amplifying cells with lim ...
Aberrantly active Wnt signaling is the hallmark driver of colorectal cancer (CRC). Bcl9/9l proteins are components of the main transcriptional activation complex of canonical Wnt signaling and interact with beta-catenin via a highly conserved homology doma ...
Amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is one of the most common oncogenic alterations in glioblastoma (45%) making it a prime target for therapy. However, small molecule inhibitors of the EGFR tyrosine kinase showed disappointin ...
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Gut homeostasis is central to whole organism health, and its disruption is associated with a broad range of pathologies. Following damage, complex physiological events are required in the gut to maintain proper homeostasis. Previously ...
