Angioblast Derived from ES Cells Construct Blood Vessels and Ameliorate Diabetic Polyneuropathy in Mice by Tatsuhito Himeno, Hideki Kamiya, Keiko Naruse, Zhao Cheng, Sachiko Ito, Taiga Shibata, Masaki Kondo, Jiro Kato, Tetsuji Okawa, Atsushi Fujiya, Hirohiko Suzuki, Tetsutaro Kito, Yoji Hamada, Yutaka Oiso, Kenichi Isobe, Jiro Nakamura

“…Here, we investigated the efficacy of treatment for diabetic polyneuropathy using angioblast-like cells derived from mouse embryonic stem cells. Methods and Results. Angioblast-like cells were obtained from mouse embryonic stem cells and transplantation of these cells improved several physiological impairments in diabetic polyneuropathy: hypoalgesia, delayed nerve conduction velocities, and reduced blood flow in sciatic nerve and plantar skin. …”

Mechanisms Underlying Adaptation of Respiratory Network Activity to Modulatory Stimuli in the Mouse Embryo by Marc Chevalier, Rafaël De Sa, Laura Cardoit, Muriel Thoby-Brisson

“…By combining electrophysiology and calcium imaging performed on embryonic brainstem slice preparations, we provide evidence showing that embryonic inspiratory pacemaker neurons are already intrinsically sensitive to neuromodulation and external conditions (i.e., temperature) affecting respiratory network activity, suggesting a potential role of pacemaker neurons in mediating rhythm adaptation to modulatory stimuli in the embryo.…”

Aging restricts the initial neural patterning potential of developing neural stem and progenitor cells in the adult brain by Saeideh Aran, Mohammad Ghasem Golmohammadi, Mohsen Sagha, Kamran Ghaedi

“…Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate how the initial neural patterning of developing NSPCs changes over time.MethodsIn this research, evidence of changing neural patterning potential in the nervous system over time was presented. Thus, the embryonic and adult-derived NSPCs for cardinal characteristics were analyzed, and then, the expression of candidate genes related to neural patterning using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was evaluated at various stages of embryonic (E14 and E18), neonatal, and adult brains. …”
