Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells were used as an experimental model to study the effects
of electromagnetic fields (EMF). ES‐derived nestin‐positive neural progenitor cells were …

Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a proinflammatory cytokine, whereas nerve growth
factor (NGF) is a neurotrophin that can promote neural cell survival, differentiation and …

OBJECTIVES The Physician's Desk Reference lists inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as a
possible adverse event associated with the use of isotretinoin, a popular acne prescription …

Elucidating the complex combinations of growth factors and signaling molecules that
maintain pluripotency or, alternatively, promote the controlled differentiation of human …

The ability to derive neural progenitors, differentiated neurons and glial cells from human
embryonic stem cells (hESCs) with high efficiency holds promise for a number of clinical …

Objective—Carotid intima–media thickening (IMT) is a form of vascular remodeling that has
a strong genetic component. Recently, we discovered that in response to decreased carotid …

Although nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes survival of neurons, tumor necrosis factor α
(TNF-α) contributes to cell death triggered by NGF depletion, through TNF-α receptor (TNFR) …

Models of emphysema produced by exposing animals to cigarette smoke (CS) have
potential for use in testing treatments of this disease. To better characterize development of …

Murine embryonic stem (mES) cells have been used to evaluate cytotoxicity and
developmental injury following exposure to embryotoxic agents. However, maintaining a …

The zebrafish is a valuable model for teaching developmental, molecular, and cell biology;
aquatic sciences; comparative anatomy; physiology; and genetics. Here we demonstrate …
