Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with potent immunosuppressive and trophic support functions. Although bone marrow is considered the golden standard to isolate classical MSCs (BM-MSC), MSC-like cells are currently also derived from other, more easily accessible extra-embryonic tissues such as the umbilical cord. In this study we compared the gene expression profile of human Wharton's jelly explant-derived MSC cultures with two adult MSC populations derived from bone marrow, namely BM-MSC and multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC).

View SamplesHypothesis: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized by a multitude of genetic aberrations with unknown clinical impact. In this study, we aimed to identify gene copy number changes that correlate with clinical outcome in NSCLC. To maximize the chance to identify clinically relevant events, we applied a strategy involving two prognostically extreme patient groups.

View SamplesOsteoarthritic cartilage has largely been investigated, however supporting structures as the acetabular labrum are less investigated. In this studies we aimed to identify differences in gene expression between healthy and osteoarthritic labrum cells

View SamplesThe delicate interaction between cancer cells and the surrounding stroma plays an essential role in all stages of tumourigenesis. Despite the significance of this interplay, alterations in protein composition underlying tumour-stroma interactions are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify stromal proteins with clinical relevance in non-small cell lung cancer.

View SamplesAffymetrix HuGene ST 1.0 microarrays were used to study and compare gene expression in peripheral blood CD8+ T cells of human patients with Acute Infectious Mononucleosis (AIM; acute EBV infection) and during convalescence (CONV; 6-12 months after AIM visit). Blood samples were drawn from ten human patients with AIM and again during their covalescence (CONV). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated and cryopreserved. Paired AIM and CONV samples were thawed and CD8+ T cells purified with magnetic beads. RNA was isolated and processed for hybridization according to the Affymetrix protocol
