    Impaired differentiation potential of CD34-positive cells derived from mouse hair follicles after long-term culture

    Hair follicle epithelial stem cells (HFSCs), which exist in the bulge region, have important functions for homeostasis of skin as well as hair follicle morphogenesis. Although several methods for isolation of ...

    Antitumor effects of minodronate, a third-generation nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, in synergy with γδT cells in human glioblastoma in vitro and in vivo

    Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs), which prevent bone resorption, exert direct and γδT cell (GDT)-mediated antitumor effects against several tumor cell types, including glioblastoma (GBM). However, l...

    Maintenance of Skin Epithelial Stem Cells by Wnt-3a In Vitro

    CD49f+ CD34+ cells, a population rich in skin epithelial stem cells (EpSCs), were obtained from adult mouse skin and cultured with Wnt-3a for 10 days. On day 10, CD49f+ CD34+ cells were sorted and subjected to...

    Induction of Inner Ear Hair Cells from Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells In Vitro

    Inner ear hair cells (HCs) function as the primary transducers for perception of sound and balance, while a defect in their formation or their loss results in sensory deficits. In mammals, once HCs are lost, t...

    Maintenance of Dermal Papilla Cells by Wnt-10b In Vitro

    Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are associated with development of hair follicles (HFs) and regulation of the hair cycle. However, primary DPCs are known to lose their ability to induce HFs after culture in standa...

    Cytotoxic human peripheral blood-derived γδT cells kill glioblastoma cell lines: implications for cell-based immunotherapy for patients with glioblastoma

    Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor for which novel therapeutic approaches, such as immunotherapy, are urgently needed. Zoledronate (ZOL), an inhibitor of osteoclastic activity, is known to s...
