TLDR
A mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell lines expressing EGFP is established, which can be propagated in culture, reintroduced into mice, or induced to differentiate in vitro, while still maintaining ubiquitous EGFP expression.About:

TL;DR: It is indicated that locally delivered bone marrow cells can generate de novo myocardium, ameliorating the outcome of coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multipotent cell lineages in early mouse development depend on SOX2 function
Ariel A. Avilion,Silvia K. Nicolis,Larysa H. Pevny,Lidia Pérez,Nigel Vivian,Robin Lovell-Badge +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that maternal components could be involved in establishing early cell fate decisions and that a combinatorial code, requiring SOX2 and OCT4, specifies the first three lineages present at implantation.

Bone marrow cells adopt the phenotype of other cells by spontaneous cell fusion

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mouse bone marrow cells can fuse spontaneously with embryonic stem cells in culture in vitro that contains interleukin-3, which, without detailed genetic analysis, might be interpreted as ‘dedifferentiation’ or transdifferentiation.

Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells to Insulin-Secreting Structures Similar to Pancreatic Islets
Nadya Lumelsky,Olivier Blondel,Olivier Blondel,Pascal Laeng,Iván Velasco,Rea Ravin,Ronald D.G. McKay +6 more
TL;DR: This work generated cells expressing insulin and other pancreatic endocrine hormones from mouse ES cells that self-assemble to form three-dimensional clusters similar in topology to normal pancreatic islets where pancreatic cell types are in close association with neurons.

Fusion of bone-marrow-derived cells with Purkinje neurons, cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes

TL;DR: Using a simple method based on Cre/lox recombination to detect cell fusion events, it is demonstrated that bone-marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) fuse spontaneously with neural progenitors in vitro, raising the possibility that cell fusion may contribute to the development or maintenance of these key cell types.

Journal ArticleDOI
Green fluorescent protein as a marker for gene expression
TL;DR: A complementary DNA for the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein produces a fluorescent product when expressed in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, which can be used to monitor gene expression and protein localization in living organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient selection for high-expression transfectants with a novel eukaryotic vector
TL;DR: The results showed that high concentrations of G418 efficiently yielded L cell and CHO cell transfectants stably producing IL-2 at levels comparable with those previously attained using gene amplification.

Abnormal blood vessel development and lethality in embryos lacking a single VEGF allele

TL;DR: It is reported that formation of blood vessels was abnormal, but not abolished, in heterozygous VEGF-deficient (VEGF+/-) embryos, generated by aggregation of embryonic stem (ES) cells with tetraploid embryos (T-ES)16,17, and even more impaired in homozygous D1-VEGF- deficient (VDGF-/-) T-ES embryos, resulting in death at mid-gestation.

FACS-optimized mutants of the green fluorescent protein (GFP)
TL;DR: In this article, three classes of GFP mutants having single excitation maxima around 488 nm are shown to be brighter than wild-type GFP following 488-nm excitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green mice' as a source of ubiquitous green cells
TL;DR: Transgenic mouse lines with an ‘enhanced’ GFP (EGFP) cDNA under the control of a chicken beta‐actin promoter and cytomegalovirus enhancer were produced and all of the tissues from these transgenic lines, with the exception of erythrocytes and hair, were green under excitation light.
