Journal ArticleDOI

Embryonic stem cells develop into functional dopaminergic neurons after transplantation in a Parkinson rat model

TL;DR: It is shown that transplanting low doses of undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells into the rat striatum results in a proliferation of ES cells into fully differentiated DA neurons that can restore cerebral function and behavior in an animal model of Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A vector-free microfluidic platform for intracellular delivery

TL;DR: A microfluidic approach to delivery in which cells are mechanically deformed as they pass through a constriction 30–80% smaller than the cell diameter results in the formation of transient holes that enable the diffusion of material from the surrounding buffer into the cytosol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemangioblastic derivatives from human induced pluripotent stem cells exhibit limited expansion and early senescence.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that hiPSCs are capable of generating hemangioblasts/blast cells (BCs), endothelial cells, and hematopoietic cells with phenotypic and morphologic characteristics similar to those derived from hESCs, but with a dramatic decreased efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Depletion of human micro-RNA miR-125b reveals that it is critical for the proliferation of differentiated cells but not for the down-regulation of putative targets during differentiation.

TL;DR: It is reported that small interfering RNA against the loop region of a micro-RNA precursor can be used to deplete the micro- RNAs, revealing the importance of micro- RNA depletion strategies for directly determining micro-RNAs function in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

LRRK2 regulates synaptic vesicle endocytosis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that LRRK2, in conjunction with its interaction with Rab5b, plays an important role in synaptic function by modulating the endocytosis of synaptic vesicles.
