Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells

Yann Barrandon, Stéphanie Claudinot, Paola Bonfanti, Alessandro Wataru Amici

The thymus develops from the third pharyngeal pouch of the anterior gut and provides the necessary environment for thymopoiesis (the process by which thymocytes differentiate into mature T lymphocytes) and the establishment and maintenance of self-toleranc ...

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition-Derived Cells Exhibit Multi-Lineage Differentiation Potential Similar to Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Cathrin Brisken, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an embryonic process that becomes latent in most normal adult tissues. Recently, we have shown that induction of EMT endows breast epithelial cells with stem cell traits. In this report, we have further cha ...

Plasticity of fetal cartilaginous cells

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Sandra Jaccoud, Aurélie Quintin

Tissue-specific stem cells found in adult tissues can participate to the repair process following injury. However adult tissues, such as articular cartilage and intervertebral disc, have low regeneration capacity, whereas fetal tissues, such as articular c ...

Tissue engineering of the bladder

Catharina Adelöw

Stem cell use in bladder tissue engineering is a recently addressed area of investigation that has generated excitement as a novel way to restore and regenerate lost or damaged urinary bladder tissue. The remodelling of smooth muscle plays a significant ro ...

A novel approach for the isolation of mesenchymal stem cells

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a population of multipotent cells that can differentiate into various lineages such as fibroblast, osteoblast, chondrocyte and adipocyte and can be maintained over extended periods in vitro. They are also known to have a su ...

A Novel 3D hydrogel based microfluidic cell culture platform

Keshav Krishnamani

Breakthroughs in health care over the coming decades may well consist of cell based therapeutics, potentially allowing the repair and replacement of damaged tissues and organs. Recently developed induced pluripotency methods as well as advances in stem cel ...

Thymic epithelial cells

Paola Bonfanti

As primary lymphoid organ, the thymus provides the essential environment for maturation and selection of functional T lymphocytes. Thymic epithelial (TE) cells derive from the endoderm, and more specifically, from the third pharyngeal pouch. The thymic epi ...

A novel cell culture approach for tissue engineering based on surface expansion

Hicham Majd

Most tissue engineering approaches include the delivery of reparative cells to a damaged host tissue. Generally these cells are sought to be of a stem cell character since they retain a high potential for proliferation and differentiation into diverse phen ...

Suv-HMTases and their impact on tumor formation and telomere regulation

Fabian Jordi

Epigenetic alterations during tumor formation and progression have become an increasingly important aspect of cancer biology. Loss of global methylation at histone H4 lysine 20, mediated by the Suv4-20 HMTases, and loss of methylation at histone H3 lysine ...

Understanding engraftment of cultured epidermal stem cells

Nicolas Grasset

The epidermis and its appendages protect our body from environmental hazards. Cells generated in the basal layer continuously replace the terminally differentiated keratinocytes that are shed off the epidermal surface. Long-term renewal depends on specific ...
