摘要:
The present invention provides methods and compositions to dedifferentiate a cell. The ability of the methods and compositions of the present invention to promote the dedifferentiation of differentiated cells, including terminally differentiated cells, can be used to promote regeneration of tissues and organs in vivo. The ability of the methods and compositions of the present invention to promote the dedifferentiation of differentiated cells, including terminally differentiated cells, can further be used to produce populations of stem or progenitor cells which can be used to promote regeneration of tissues and/or organs damaged by injury or disease. Accordingly, the present invention provides novel methods for the treatment of a wide range of injuries and diseases that affect many diverse cell types.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the field of long non-coding RNAs and transcription factors and modulation of their expression for use in medicine and agriculture, such as the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with muscle atrophy and the production of livestock. More particularly, the invention provides agonists of Cytor, a long non-coding RNA, e.g. agents that increase the amount of Cytor RNA in skeletal muscle as well as antagonists for Teadl, a transcription factor, e.g. agents that decrease the amount of Teadl RNA or protein in skeletal muscle and their use in therapy.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for inducing pluripotent stem cells, wherein a mammalian cell is contacted with a compound characterized by a general formula 1 wherein R1 is (CH2)mE, with E being CCH or CN and m being 0, 1, or 2, and R2 is selected from F, CI, Br, OR3 and R3, with R3 being selected from H, (CHyF2-y)n CHXF3-X, with n=0 or 1. The invention further relates to stem cells obtained by the method of the invention, and culture media comprising the compound of the invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition for inducing cell reprogramming. The indazole derivative compound contained in the composition of the present invention shows an improved biological profile and at the same time can perform efficient cell reprogramming. In addition, unlike conventional compounds (e.g. riversine or BIO) for inducing low-molecular cell reprogramming, the indazole derivative compound of the present invention does not show cytotoxicity and thus is expected to have high growth in the market of cell therapy products when clinically applied. Conventional indazole derivative compounds have never known as a use for cell reprogramming. Compared with conventional indazole derivative compounds, the compound of the present invention has a great cell reprogramming ability while having no or little cytotoxicity.

摘要:
Methods are provided for producing cells within a lineage (lineage restricted cells) from post-mitotic differentiated cells of the same lineage ex vivo and in vivo, and for treating a subject in need of tissue regeneration therapy by employing these lineage-restricted cells. In addition, the production of lineage restricted cells from postmitotic tissues derived from patients with diseases allows for a characterization of pathways that have gone awry in these diseases and for screening of drugs that will ameliorate or correct the defects as a means of novel drug discovery. Also provided are kits for performing these methods.
