Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst can be maintained in culture, under pluripotent conditions, using Serum+LIF medium. However, it has been published that ...

The adaptive response of cells to external stimuli is an intriguing mechanism at the basis of the existence of life itself. For this purpose, signalling pathways and gene regulatory networks elegantly ...

We found that IgM+IgD- memory (ME-M) B cells formed a large reservoir of intestinal antigen-selected IgM+ lymphocytes distinct from antigen-naïve IgM+ lymphocytes. Human ME-M B cells colonized the ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are able to differentiate into any cell type, a property called pluripotency, and have unlimited potential for self-renewal. Although the molecular mechanisms responsible for ...

During aging, muscle stem cell regenerative function declines, being maximal at advanced geriatric age, due to a quiescence-to-senescence transition. How quiescence is maintained over long periods of ...

In this thesis, we have been studying the role of UNR, and RNA-binding protein that regulates translation and/or stability of its targets. The functional relevance of UNR was studied in two different ...
