EMBRYONIC STEM CELL-DERIVED CARDIOMYOCYTE HETEROGENEITY AND THE ISOLATION OF IMMATURE AND COMMITTED CELLS FOR CARDIAC REMODELING AND REGENERATION

Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocyte Heterogeneity and the Isolation of Immature and Committed Cells for Cardiac Remodeling and Regeneration

Pluripotent stem cells represent one promising source for cell replacement therapy in heart, but differentiating embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (ESC-CMs) are highly heterogeneous and show a variety of maturation states.In this study, we employed an Shakes ESC clonal line that contains a cardiac-restricted ncx1 promoter-driven puromycin

Human Antimicrobial Peptides: Analysis and Application

Antimicrobial Shakes peptides are innate host defense molecules that have a direct effect on bacteria, fungi and enveloped viruses.They are found in evolutionarily diverse species ranging from prokaryotes and plants to invertebrate and vertebrate animals.Humans express several families of antimicrobial peptides in myeloid cells and on various epith
