Development (Cambridge, England) - 01 April 2012
The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as coordinators of stem cell fate has emerged over the last decade. We have used human embryonic stem cells to identify miRNAs involved in neural lineage commitment induced by the inhibition of TGFβ-like molecule-mediated pathways. Among several candidate miRNAs exp...

The use of human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) for cell therapy faces a number of challenges that are progressively answered by results from clinical trials and experimental research. Among these is the control of differentiation before transplantation and the prediction of cell fate after admini...

Human pluripotent stem cells offer a limitless source of cells for regenerative medicine. Neural derivatives of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are currently being used for cell therapy in 3 clinical trials. However, hESCs are prone to genomic instability, which could limit their clinical util...

Progeria, also known as HGPS (Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome), is a rare fatal genetic disease characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. This syndrome is typically caused by mutations in codon 608 (C1804T) of the gene encoding lamins A and C, LMNA, leading to the prod...
