Thymic derived iPs cells can be differentiated into cardiomyocytes.

Thymic derived iPs cells can be differentiated into cardiomyocytes. | Vectorology - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it



BigField GEG Tech's insight:

The author show generation and cardiomyocyte differentiation potential of iPS cells from thymic epithelial cells of a patient with ventricular septal defect (VSD)  by overexpressing the four factors: OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28 with lentiviral vectors. The self-renewal and pluripotency of the VSD-iPS cells was verified in iPS cells by in vitro expression of pluripotency markers and formation of teratoma in vivo.

Role of endogenous PDGF-BB in cultured cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxia

Role of endogenous PDGF-BB in cultured cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxia | Vectorology - GEG Tech top picks | Scoop.it
BigField GEG Tech's insight:

In order to know the role ofPlatelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), the authors performed it knockdown in cultured cardiomyocytes thanks to a lentiviral vectors which expresses shRNA. They observed that the number of apoptotic cells and the level of LDH were significantly increased and that the beat rhythm was reduced.
