Background— Pericytes represent a unique subtype of microvessel-residing perivascular
cells with diverse angiogenic functions and multilineage developmental features of …

In view of the therapeutic potential of cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem
(iPS) cells (iPS‐derived cardiomyocytes), in the present study we investigated in iPS‐…

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have great potential as a robust source of
progenitors for regenerative medicine. The novel technology also enables the derivation of …

Post-transcriptional events play an important role in human development. The question
arises as to whether Adenosine to Inosine RNA editing, catalyzed by the ADAR (Adenosine …

To determine the role for mutations of MECP2 in Rett syndrome, we generated isogenic lines
of human induced pluripotent stem cells, neural progenitor cells, and neurons from patient …

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represent an ideal cell source for future cell therapy
and regenerative medicine. However, most iPSC lines described to date have been isolated …

Twist genes code for regulatory bHLH proteins essential for embryonic development and
conserved across the metazoa. There are four genes that constitute the zebrafish twist family: …

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a post-transcriptional, site-specific modification
process that is catalyzed by Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA (ADAR) gene family …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible and uniformly fatal lung disease marked
by destruction and scarring of the lung parenchyma and progressive loss of respiratory …

Twist proteins are highly conserved transcription factors expressed in the cephalic neural
crest of all vertebrates and may therefore constitute part of the molecular machinery that …
