Next generation of ALDH substrates and their potential to study maturational lineage biology in stem and progenitor cells Vrije Universiteit Brussel
High aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity is a feature of stem cells from normal and cancerous tissues and a reliable universal marker used to isolate them. There are numerous ALDH isoforms with preferred substrate specificity variably expressed depending on tissue, cell type, and organelle and cell status. On the other hand, a given substrate may be metabolized by several enzyme isoforms. Currently ALDH activity is evidenced by using ...

Stem and progenitor cells for liver repopulation: can we standardise the process from bench to bedside? KU Leuven
Genetic and Epigenetic Modification of Rat Liver Progenitor Cells via HNF4α Transduction and 5’ Azacytidine Treatment: An Integrated miRNA and mRNA Expression Profile Analysis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Neonatal liver-derived rat epithelial cells (rLEC) from biliary origin are liver progenitor cells that acquire a hepatocyte-like phenotype upon sequential exposure to hepatogenic growth factors and cytokines. Undifferentiated rLEC express several liver-enriched transcription factors, including the hepatocyte nuclear factors (HNF) 3β and HNF6, but not the hepatic master regulator HNF4α. In this study, we first investigated the impact of the ...
