Introduction to Cell and Tissue Culture: Theory and Technique
TL;DR: This book explains how to establish a Cell Culture Lab, and some of the techniques used, and discusses contamination, how to avoid It, Recognize It, and Get Rid of It when It's There.
Journal ArticleDOI
Follistatin modulates activin activity in a cell- and tissue-specific manner.
TL;DR: Results suggest that follistatin can modulate activin action in a cell-type specific fashion, and that this protein may play an important role in regulating the bioavailability of activin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological Response to ErbB Ligands in Nontransformed Cell Lines Correlates with a Specific Pattern of Receptor Expression
Srividya Sundaresan,Penelope E. Roberts,Kathleen L. King,Mark X. Sliwkowski,Jennie P. Mather +4 more
TL;DR: High levels of expression of ErbB3 were correlated with responsiveness to heregulin and sensory and motor neuron-derived factor, whereas high levels of EGFR expression were correlatedWith responsiveness to EGF and betacellulin, consistent with the hypothesis that appropriate biological responsiveness to ErBB ligands is determined by the levels ofexpression of specific Erb B receptor combinations within a given tissue.

Human cancer stem cells
TL;DR: In this article, isolated populations of human cancer stem cells are revealed and methods for characterizing, isolating, and culturing human cancer cells are described. Uses for human cancer Stem cells are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective cloning of cell surface proteins involved in organ development: epithelial glycoprotein is involved in normal epithelial differentiation.
Jean-Philippe Stephan,Penelope E. Roberts,Laura N. Bald,James Lee,Qimin Gu,Brigitte Devaux,Jennie P. Mather +6 more
TL;DR: Data from immunohistochemistry and in vitro data strongly suggest a role for EGP during pancreatic development, as well as the effect of the anti-EGP antibody and the extracellular domain of EGP on embryonic pancreatic epithelial cell number and volume.
