2018-10-20

Multi-electrode array approaches have been proposed as a tool for detecting functional changes in electrically excitable cells, including neurons, exposed to drugs or toxins and allow use in high throughput studies (McConnell et al., 2012). Although there are a number of electrophysiological measure

2018-10-20

Introduction Stem cells are essential for tissue formation, maintenance, and repair by achieving a timely balance between error-free replicative expansion and differentiation. This balance is frequently jeopardized in cancer and aging, leading to tissue pathology and functional decline (Blanpain

2018-10-20

In mammalian PGCs, genetic knockout models and short-term PGC culture experiments have implicated the growth factors BMP4, LIF, SCF, retinoic acid, and FGF in early survival and proliferation (Dolci et al., 1991, 1993; Farini et al., 2005; Matsui et al., 1991). PGCs isolated from mammalian species c

Several strategies have been recently developed for CBC cell isolation via cell surface markers and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS; Gracz et al., 2013; King et al., 2012; Merlos-Suarez et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2013). Although they represent considerable advances in the isolation of CBC
