Tissue-resident macrophages are highly heterogeneous in terms of their functions and
phenotypes as a consequence of adaptation to different tissue environments. Local tissue …

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have promise in
regenerative medicine because of their ability to differentiate into all 3 primary germ layers …

Embryo quality during the in vitro developmental period is of great clinical importance.
Experimental genetic studies during this period have demonstrated the association between …

DNA methylation, which occurs at the 5′-position of the cytosine in CpG dinucleotides, has
great potential for forensic identification of body fluids, because tissue-specific patterns of …

Introduction Despite the long-observed correlation between H3K9me3, chromatin
architecture, and transcriptional repression, how H3K9me3 regulates genome higher-order …

Background Pluripotent cells can be differentiated into many different cell types in vitro.
Successful differentiation is guided in large part by epigenetic reprogramming and …

Introduction The dysregulation of maternal-fetal immune tolerance is one of the proposed
mechanisms leading to preeclampsia. Galectins are key regulator proteins of the immune …

Directed differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) or induced pluripotent stem
cells (iPSCs) provides powerful models to dissect the molecular mechanisms leading to the …

Plant cells have a remarkable plasticity that allows cellular reprogramming from
differentiated cells and subsequent tissue regeneration. Callus formation occurs from …

A set of DNA methylation markers was detected and evaluated to identify body fluids using
the amplification refractory mutation system-PCR (ARMS-PCR) and random forest algorithm …
