Bending and stretching stem cells can tell them what cell type to become, according to Canadian researchers. Traditionally, scientists use chemical cues to direct stem cells toward a particular cell fate, but research at McGill University in Montreal has demonstrated that mechanically manipulating stem cells also has the same effect. Dr Allen Ehrlicher, corresponding author of the study, and his team believe that this discovery could aid bone regeneration treatments in patients after traumatic incidents or those with osteoporosis. Dr Anna Wernick writes more about this research for BioNews https://lnkd.in/eDFtfuAR #stemcells #StemCellTherapy #stemcelltechnology #osteoporosis

A groundbreaking research in cell fate plasticity and regenerative medicine! 🧬 A recent study in Drosophila's intestinal stem cell lineage uncovers the remarkable potential for cell reprogramming within tissues. Key transcription factors like Ttk and Pros are identified as crucial players in driving the transdifferentiation of enterocytes into enteroendocrine cells and the dedifferentiation of EEs into progenitor cells. 🦟 The study also sheds light on the shared chromatin accessibility profile among different intestinal cell types, suggesting a stable chromatin landscape despite transcriptome changes. 🧫 Moreover, the research explores age as a potential factor influencing the efficiency of cell fate transitions. 🕰️ #CellFatePlasticity #RegenerativeMedicine #StemCells 🌟🔬

🚨📢 Publication Alert! 📢🚨 Johnson, Benjamin B. et al. just dropped fresh insights on "Cracking the Code of Heart Development" 💓🧬. Their study illuminates the important role of Perlecan (HSPG2) in heart cell maturation. The team used human pluripotent stem cells (#hPSCs) to investigate Perlecan's expression and function during heart development and early maturation. Read the paper below to learn more about their findings! Spoiler alert: Fig.6 shows some exciting data. 😉 This study is yet another example of the extracellular matrix's (ECM) significance in understanding cell biology during diverse states of regeneration. 🔄🔬 Kudos to the team for this fantastic contribution! 🌟👏 We are proud that our Synthetic Perlecan Peptide Plates could facilitate this research. 🤗 #HeartDevelopment #PublicationAlert #ResearchMilestone #cardiomyocytes

🚀 Exciting Research Alert! 🚀 We're thrilled to share that our products at Antibodies.com played a crucial role in a groundbreaking study on retinal development, recently published in Nature Communications. 👉 The research offers a detailed single-cell analysis of retinal progenitor cell (RPC) specification and differentiation during human retinal development up to midgestation. 👉The team identified early, late, and transient neurogenic progenitors, mapping their transition to various retinal neurons. 👉Through single-cell RNA-Seq and spatial transcriptomics, they revealed the transient presence of early RPCs in the ciliary margin zone, decreasing from 8 post-conception weeks. 👉The study found that inhibiting certain transcription factors led to the loss of cycling progenitors and retinal identity in pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids. This work not only deepens our understanding of human retinal development but also opens new avenues for stem cell research and regenerative medicine. We’re proud that Antibodies.com's tools and reagents supported this innovative research. Keep pushing the boundaries of science! 💡🔬 Read the full study here: https://lnkd.in/e5VdT-qt #Antibodies #Antibody #Research #Science #RetinalDevelopment #SingleCellAnalysis #StemCellResearch #ProudContributor #ScientificBreakthroughs #NatureCommunications

The new ‘wavelength of light’ then signals the body to up the production of a copper peptide that has been proven to increase Stem Cell Activity and to reset your Stem Cells to a Younger, Healthier state. #GinnySchuster #StemCellPatches

Research paper In our brains, different neurons make appropriate connections; however, there remain few in vitro models of such circuits. We use an open microfluidic approach to build and study neuronal circuits in vitro in ways that fit easily into existing bio-medical workflows. Conditions are established that ensure post-mitotic neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) plated in one chamber of a dumbbell remain where deposited. https://lnkd.in/ej2jA_c9
