Cell cycle restriction by histone H2AX limits proliferation of adult neural stem cells Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Adult neural stem cell proliferation is dynamic and has the potential for massive self-renewal yet undergoes limited cell division in vivo. Here, we report an epigenetic mechanism regulating proliferation and self-renewal. The recruitment of the PI3K-related kinase signaling pathway and histone H2AX phosphorylation following GABA(A) receptor activation limits subventricular zone proliferation. As a result, NSC self-renewal and niche size is ...
Current Status of Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells: Differentiation into Hepatocyte-Like Cells Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Induction of cytomegalovirus-specific T cell responses in healthy volunteers and allogeneic stem cell recipients using vaccination with messenger RNA-transfected dendritic cells Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp
BACKGROUND: Infection with human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients.
METHODS: The present study explored the safety, feasibility, and immunogenicity of CMV pp65 messenger RNA-loaded autologous monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC) as a cellular vaccine for active immunization in healthy volunteers and allogeneic HSCT recipients. ...
