Recent studies indicated that the differentiation tendency of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) was affected by a certain small molecule treatment. We found the combination of small molecules that bringed out the differentiation potentials of PSCs, and defined such state of PSC as CTraS.

View SamplesWe established several iPSCs from healthy donors, familial ALS (FALS) patients, and sporadic ALS (SALS) patients. Using our differentiation protocol originally developed, we differentiated these iPSCs toward spinal motor neurons (MNs) and reproduced ALS pathology in a dish.
Modeling sporadic ALS in iPSC-derived motor neurons identifies a potential therapeutic agent.

View SamplesWe compared the expression among three lines, Col, C24, and their hybrids at 10 days after sowing (DAS).
Heterosis of Arabidopsis hybrids between C24 and Col is associated with increased photosynthesis capacity.

View SamplesIncreasing the understanding of the impact of changes in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is essential for improving the management of lung cancer. Recently, we identified a new mouse lung-specific tumor suppressor - the G-protein coupled receptor 5A (Gprc5a). We sought to understand the molecular consequences of Gprc5a loss and towards this we performed microarray analysis of the transcriptomes of lung epithelial cells cultured from normal tracheas of Gprc5a knockout and wild-type mice to define a loss-of-Gprc5a gene signature. Moreover, we analyzed differential gene expression patterns between Gprc5a knockout normal lung epithelial cells as well as lung adenocarcinoma cells isolated and cultured from tumors of NNK-exposed Gprc5a knockout mice.
A Gprc5a tumor suppressor loss of expression signature is conserved, prevalent, and associated with survival in human lung adenocarcinomas.
