BSSS and BSCB1 were originally developed through a series of single, double, or three-way and double-double crosses (Lamkey et al., 1991) tracing back to the inbred
progenitor lines examined in this study.
Results: We observed a strong correlation between the number of circulating endothelial
progenitor cells and the subjects' combined Framingham risk factor score (r=-0.47, p=0.001) was observed.
As adults have only very few
progenitor cells left, how can these discoveries be used for therapeutic purposes?
Prostate
progenitor cells, for example, can only form prostate tissue.
This approach may bypass the challenges presented by stem cell therapies by temporarily reactivating
progenitor cells already located at the tissue target site and pre-programmed to make specific cell types.
"Ever since we discovered that the heart tube produces some blood
progenitor cells, we have been trying to figure out why," Nakano said.
The entire process to manufacture AlloJoin involves many of CBMG's therapeutic and drug intellectual properties including certain proprietary trade secrets within a world-class chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC) platform, which patents include methods for collecting and purifying adipose stem (
progenitor) cells, large-scale clinical grade cell production, formulations and preparations.
Henrik Semb, senior author and director of the Institute of Translational Stem Cell Research at Helmholtz Zentrum Mnchen, "to map the signal that determines whether pancreatic
progenitor cells will become endocrine, such as insulin-producing beta cells, or duct cells."
Progenitor cells play an important role in some pathophysiological states such as atherosclerosis, vascular ischemia, and pulmonary hypertension12-17.
Interestingly, studies of Myc function in hematopoietic stem cells have implicated Myc in pushing the HSCs out of the niche and into a proliferative
progenitor state [18].
The body's endothelial
progenitor cells repair the damage to the lining of the arteries that leads to cardiovascular disease.
In this study, we used human fetal pancreatic
progenitor cells to identify the role of FoxO1 in cell differentiation.
