We describe here the reprogramming of CD34 cells isolated from umbilical cord blood obtained after full term delivery of a healthy female child of Indian origin. The cells were nucleofected by episomal vectors expressing Oct4, Sox2, L-Myc, Klf4, Lin28 and p53DD (negative mutation in p53). Colonies were identified by alkaline phosphatase staining and characterized for expression of pluripotency markers at protein level by immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and at transcript level by PCR. Genomic stability of the cell line was checked by G-banded karyotype. The ability to differentiate to endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm in vitro was confirmed by immunofluorescence staining.

Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer involving uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Cutaneous involvement is referred to as leukemia cutis (LC). The histopathologic presentation of LC is variable, and may present with perivascular, periadnexal, dermal, or subcutaneous infiltrate.

Objective To investigate the effect of serum containing Xinfeng capsule (XFC) on the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) induced by rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS) and its mechanism of action. Methods An in vitro co-culture model of RA-FLS and HUVEC was established. Serum containing XFC was prepared by oral gavage of SD rats.

Introduction: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is increasingly prevalent among the aging population, and there is a notable lack of drug therapies. Consequently, identifying novel drug targets will be of utmost importance. Given that type 2 diabetes is an important risk factor for CAVD, we identified key genes associated with diabetes - related CAVD via various bioinformatics methods, which provide further potential molecular targets for CAVD with diabetes.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilizes peripheral blood (PB) progenitor cells from bone marrow (BM) into circulation for PB stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) model of filgrastim in healthy subjects to optimize PB CD34 cell collection. Plasma filgrastim concentrations and CD34 cell count data were obtained from a clinical study involving healthy Korean subjects.

This study aimed to determine if local injection of CXCL12 reduces sphincter fibrosis, restores sphincter muscle content, vascularization, and innervation, and recruits progenitor cells in a rabbit model of anal sphincter injury and incontinence. Adult female rabbits were assigned to 3 groups: uninjured/no treatment (control), injured/treated (treated), and injured/no treatment (untreated) (n=4 each). Injured groups were anesthetized and a section of external anal sphincter was removed at the 9:00 o'clock position.
