Generation of Liver Bipotential Organoids With a Small-Molecule Cocktail
97 views | Jun 05 2020
Xin Wang et al. demonstrated that Wnt/β-catenin, NMII-Rac, and PKA-ERK are core signaling pathways essential and sufficient for mouse liver progenitor expansion. [Read the Full Post]
Discovery of suppressors of CRMP2 phosphorylation reveals compounds that mimic the behavioral effects of lithium on amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion
62 views | May 18 2020
Zhao WN et al. not only provided insights into the neural substrates regulated by lithium, but also provided novel human neuronal assays for supporting the development of mechanism-based therapeutics for BD and related neuropsychiatric disorders. [Read the Full Post]
FAM83A Promotes Lung Cancer Progression by Regulating the Wnt and Hippo Signaling Pathways and Indicates Poor Prognosis
76 views | May 07 2020
Zheng YW et al. found that FAM83A promotes the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells by regulating the Wnt and Hippo signaling pathways and EMT process. [Read the Full Post]
GSK-3 Inhibitors: A Double-Edged Sword? - An Update on Tideglusib
79 views | May 05 2020
Mathuram TL et al. concluded the emergence of GSK-3 inhibitors as a 'double-edged sword' in the treatment against human diseases cautioning researchers about the potential ramifications of off-target pharmacological effects. [Read the Full Post]
Isolation of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial progenitor cells from sac-like structures

Aoki H et al. improved regenerative medicine and facilitate basic studies on the endothelial lineage. [Read the Full Post]
Generation of pig induced pluripotent stem cells using an extended pluripotent stem cell culture system
181 views | Nov 27 2019
Xu J et al. demonstrated that stable iPS cells could be generated in LCDM medium, which could give rise to both embryonic and extraembryonic cells in vivo. However, the efficiency and level of chimeric contribution of pig LCDM-iPS cells were found low. [Read the Full Post]
CHIR-99021 regulates mitochondrial remodelling via β-catenin signalling and miRNA expression during endodermal differentiation
278 views | Nov 05 2019
Ma Y et al. demonstrated that CHIR-99021 plays a role in mitochondrial structure and function remodelling via activation of the β-catenin signalling pathway and inhibits the expression of miRNAs during definitive endodermal differentiation. [Read the Full Post]
Conversion of Terminally Committed Hepatocytes to Culturable Bipotent Progenitor Cells with Regenerative Capacity
245 views | Aug 03 2019
Katsuda T et al. reported that a cocktail of small molecules, Y-27632, A-83-01, and CHIR99021, can convert rat and mouse MHs in vitro into proliferative bipotent cells, which we term chemically induced liver progenitors (CLiPs). CLiPs can differentiate into both MHs and biliary epithelial cells that can form functional ductal structures. CLiPs in long-term culture did not lose their proliferative capacity or their hepatic differentiation ability, and rat CLiPs were shown to extensively repopulate chronically injured liver tissue. Thus, our study advances the goals of liver regenerative medicine. [Read the Full Post]
Cytotoxicity and activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in mouse embryonic stem cells treated with four GSK3 inhibitors
0 views | Jul 18 2019
Naujok O et al. indicated that out of the four tested GSK3 inhibitors, only CHIR-99021 and CHIR-98014 proved to be potent pharmacological activators of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. But only in the case of CHIR-99021 high potency was combined with very low toxicity. [Read the Full Post]
White light emitting diode induces autophagy in hippocampal neuron cells through GSK-3-mediated GR and RORα pathways
345 views | Apr 03 2019
Yang Y et al. demonstrated that GSK-3-mediated GR/RORα signaling pathway is involved in white LED light-induced autophagy in hippocampal neuron cells. [Read the Full Post]
