Advances in studies on hepatic stem cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The question whether hepatic stem cells exist or not has been debated for several decades. Current researches confirm that there are hepatic stem cells in the liver. Oval cells, putative bipotential hepatic stem cells, are probably located within canals of Hering, portal tracts or branches of biliary trees. Bone marrow is a potential source of oval cells, indicating that there exists a close relationship between liver and hematopoiesis in adulthood. Hepatic stem cells are able to proliferate in vitro and can be induced to differentiate into hepatocytes. This will provide a promising approach of cell transplantation, tissue engineering and gene therapy for liver diseases. In this review, the evidence of their presence, origin, identification, proliferation in vitro, differentiation by induction, application prospects of hepatic stem cells and future directions for the field are discussed. 相似文献

Stamen specification and anther development in rice 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Male reproductive development is a complex biological process which includes the formation of the stamen with differentiated anther tissues, in which microspores/pollens are generated, then anther dehiscence and subsequently pollination. Stamen specification and anther development involve a number of extraordinary events such as meristem transition, cell division and differentiation, cell to cell communication, etc., which need the cooperative interaction of sporophytic and gametophytic genes. The advent of various tools for rice functional gene identification, such as complete genome sequence, genome-wide microarrays, collections of mutants, has greatly facilitated our understanding of mechanisms of rice stamen specification and anther development. Male sterile lines are critical for hybrid rice breeding, therefore understanding these processes will not only contribute greatly to the basic knowledge of crop developmental biology, but also to the development of new varieties for hybrid rice breeding in the future. 相似文献

In 2006, an article published in Cell by Shinya Yamanaka took by surprise the stem cell research community. By performing
systematic retroviral transduction of factors enriched in embryonic stem (ES) cells, the authors demonstrated the reprogramming
of mouse fibroblasts into an ES cell-like state. These cells, baptized iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells, were immediately
recognized as a ground-breaking discovery. Subsequently, the same authors and other groups reported a similar achievement
with human fibroblasts. Two years later, the number of top quality papers on iPS is astonishing, and interest in the scientific
community has risen to a fever pitch. But although iPS has the potential to revolutionize Regenerative Medicine, important
questions still remain unanswered. Work from multiple laboratories worldwide including ours is focused on deciphering the
molecular mechanisms of iPS, and trying to improve the technique to make it suitable for the clinic. In this review article
we briefly discuss the past, present and future of iPS, with emphasis on urgent issues to be solved.

The mobilization of rat’s mesenchymal stem cells into peripheral blood by LiCL and its potency differentiation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells, which can differentiate into different tissues. It is still controversial whether MSCs can be isolated from adult peripheral blood (PB) under normal conditions and whether they can be mobilized in a way similar to that of hematopoieUc stem cells (HSCs). In this study, rat MSCs circulating in the PB under normal conditions can be isolated and cultured, and MSCs from PB and BM can be mobilized by LiCL. The mobilized MSCs can be induced to differentiate into neuron by such factors as β-mercaptoethanol and supernatants of nerve cell cultures. The present study provides a broader perspective on the repair of neural trauma. 相似文献

With chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and promoter DNA microarray analyses (ChIP-on-chip), we analyzed the variations
of acetylation on histone H3 in all-trans retinoic acid (RA) induced neuronal cell differentiation. Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were treated with RA for 24 h and the
acetylation on histone H3 in the promoter region of the genes was detected. Results showed that, after treatment, the level
of acetylation on histone H3 elevated in 597 genes in the genome, and reduced in the other 647 genes compared with those of
the control. In summary, we have successfully adopted a high throughput technique to detect and analyze variations of acetylation
of histone H3 in human genome at the early phage of RA induced neuronal differentiation of the SH-SY5Y cells.

The biggest obstacle for long distance quantum communication is the channel loss and the channel noise on photons. In this
paper, a method to solve this problem was analyzed using inspection and power insertion (IPI). It is proved that quantum communication
may be established over arbitrarily long distance using this technology. The amount of resources required is a polynomial
function of the distance. IPI is proposed as a general technique to prolong quantum secure direct communication where secret
messages are transmitted directly over a quantum channel.

The specific interaction between angiogenin and aptamer has been investigated by using AFM. The specificity of the interaction is revealed by comparing the binding probability of aptamer to other elements in a series of control experiments. The results have shown that there is specific interaction force between angiogenin and aptamer. Moreover, the single molecular pull-off force between angiogenin and aptamer has also been determined using the Poisson statistical method to be 133.7±11.7 pN. These findings obtained are helpful to the better revelation of recognition mechanism between angiogenin and aptamer, which provided basis for further understanding the inhibition of the aptamer to angiogenic activity. 相似文献

Bioengineered corneas are substitutes for human donor tissue that are designed to treat severe disease affecting ocular surfaces. However, a shortage of candidate seed cells for bioengineering corneas is still a problem. Bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of multilineage differentiation. Therefore, we determined whether MSCs differentiate into corneal epithelial cells (ECs). We applied three exoteric-microenvironmental systems to induce MSCs to become ECs. Induced MSC were identified by means of morphologic examination, immunocytochemical analysis, and flow cytometry. MSCs grown in one microenvironment had characteristics similar to those of corneal epithelial progenitors. Induced MSCs expressed markers for EC, including integrin 61, Cx43, Pax6, and P63. MSCs were successfully induced to become corneal epithelial progenitors. Therefore, the use of MSCs may hold substantial promise for reconstructing the ocular surface after corneal injury.[第一段] 相似文献

Cell fusion is the principal source of bone-marrow-derived hepatocytes 总被引:150,自引:0,他引:150

Evidence suggests that haematopoietic stem cells might have unexpected developmental plasticity, highlighting therapeutic potential. For example, bone-marrow-derived hepatocytes can repopulate the liver of mice with fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase deficiency and correct their liver disease. To determine the underlying mechanism in this murine model, we performed serial transplantation of bone-marrow-derived hepatocytes. Here we show by Southern blot analysis that the repopulating hepatocytes in the liver were heterozygous for alleles unique to the donor marrow, in contrast to the original homozygous donor cells. Furthermore, cytogenetic analysis of hepatocytes transplanted from female donor mice into male recipients demonstrated 80,XXXY (diploid to diploid fusion) and 120,XXXXYY (diploid to tetraploid fusion) karyotypes, indicative of fusion between donor and host cells. We conclude that hepatocytes derived form bone marrow arise from cell fusion and not by differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells. 相似文献

Records of volcanic events since AD 1800 in the East Rongbuk ice core from Mt. Qomolangma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Continuous Bi profile of the East Rongbuk (ER) ice core near Mt. Qomolangma reveals nine major volcanic events since AD 1800.
Compared with Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI), it shows that the concentrations of Bi in the ER ice core can reflect the
major volcanic events within the key areas. This provides a good horizon layer for ice core dating, as well as a basis for
reconstructing a long sequence of volcanic records from the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau ice cores.

Biomimetic coupling effect of non-smooth mechanical property and microstructural features on thermal fatigue behavior of medium carbon steel 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Some kinds of particular functions possessed by natural organisms are often formed by coupling up the multiple typical features
on their body surfaces. Inspired by the coupling phenomenon in biological system, the medium carbon steel specimens with the
coupling effect of non-smooth mechanical property and microstructural features were fabricated by laser processing. Thermal
fatigue behavior of specimens with biomimetic coupling surface was investigated and compared. The results confirmed that such
a biomimetic method has the beneficial effect on improving the thermal fatigue property of medium carbon steel specimens.
The related mechanisms behind the biomimetic coupling effect for explaining the enhanced thermal fatigue resistance were discussed
preliminarily.

Arctic dipole anomaly and summer rainfall in Northeast China 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
A dipole structure anomaly in summer Arctic atmospheric variability is identified in this study, which is characterized by the second mode of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of summer monthly mean sea level pressure (SLP) north of 70°N, accounting for 12.94% of the variance. The dipole anomaly shows a quasi-barotropic structure with opposite anomalous centers over the Canadian Arctic and the Beaufort Sea and between the Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea. The dipole anomaly reflects alternating variations in location of the polar vortex between the western and eastern Arctic regions. The positive phase of the dipole anomaly corresponds to the center of the polar vortex over the western Arctic, leading to an increase in summer mean rainfall in Northeast China. The dipole anomaly has a predominant 6-year periodicity, and shows interdecadal variations in recent decades. 相似文献

In this study, a Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) technique was used for process monitoring of anaerobic fermentation. Orthogonal signal correction (OSC) method was used as NIR spectral pre- processing options. Calibration models were established and the validation of the method was per- formed with the sucrose, ethanol and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) contents determined by the anthrone and gas chromatography methods, respectively. Spectral range and the number of internal latent variables were optimized for the best correlation coefficient. Test set validation of sucrose resulted in excellent measurement of prediction performance and the correlation coefficient of determination is 0.930. Similar prediction statistics for individual VFA and total VFA contents were obtained. These re- sults proved that the NIR spectroscopy technology is able to quantify the contents of both volatile fatty acids and sucrose in wastewater anaerobic fermentation process. 相似文献

Elemental composition in surface snow from the ultra-high elevation area of Mt. Qomolangma (Everest)
A total of 14 surface snow (0-10 cm) samples were collected along the climbing route (6500-8844 m a.s.h) on the northern slope of Mt. Qomolangma in May, 2005. Analysis of elemental concentrations in these samples showed that there are no clear trends for element variations with elevation due to redistribution of surface snow by strong winds during spring. In addition, local crustal aerosol inputs also have an influence on elemental composition of surface snow. Comparison between elemental concentration datasets of 2005 and 1997 indicated that data from 2005 were of higher quality. Elemental concentrations (especially for heavy metals) at Mt. Qomolangma are comparable with polar sites, and far lower than large cities. This indicates that anthropogenic activities and heavy metal pollution have little effect on the Mt. Qomolangma atmospheric environment, which can be representative of the background atmospheric environment. 相似文献

Niobic tellurite glass doped by silver chloride nanocrystal was prepared with the melting-quenching and heat treatment method,
and the self-trapped exciton absorption band of the silver chloride nanocrystal was observed at 532 nm in the UV-visible absorption
spectrum. The glass structure characteristics were investigated by Raman spectroscopy, and the mechanism of self-trapped exciton
was analyzed by Jahn-Teller model. Its optical limiting was measured with 532 nm picosecond laser pulses, and the corresponding
nonlinear absorption coefficient was measured with open-aperture Z-scan. The experimental results showed that optical limiting
at 532 nm was attributed to free carrier absorption between the self-trapped state and the continuum band.
