YAP1 increases organ size and expands undifferentiated progenitor cellsFernando D Camargo
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Nine Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Curr Biol 17:2054-60. 2007..Our data show that the Hippo signaling pathway regulates organ size in mammals and can act on stem cell compartments, indicating a potential link between stem/progenitor cells, organ size, and cancer...
Regulation of progenitor cell proliferation and granulocyte function by microRNA-223Jonathan B Johnnidis
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nature 451:1125-9. 2008..Our data support a model in which miR-223 acts as a fine-tuner of granulocyte production and the inflammatory response...
Regulation of lymphoid versus myeloid fate 'choice' by the transcription factor Mef2cSandra Stehling-Sun
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nat Immunol 10:289-96. 2009..1 during lymphopoiesis. Thus, Mef2c is a crucial component of the transcriptional network that regulates cell fate 'choice' in multipotent progenitors...
The impact of microRNAs on protein outputDaehyun Baek
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, 9 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142, USA
Nature 455:64-71. 2008..The impact of microRNAs on the proteome indicated that for most interactions microRNAs act as rheostats to make fine-scale adjustments to protein output...
Generation of iPSCs from cultured human malignant cellsJan E Carette
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Blood 115:4039-42. 2010..This finding indicates that the therapeutic agent imatinib targets cells in a specific epigenetic differentiated cell state, and this may contribute to its inability to fully eradicate disease in chronic myeloid leukemia patients...
Oct4 expression is not required for mouse somatic stem cell self-renewalChristopher J Lengner
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nine Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Cell Stem Cell 1:403-15. 2007..Oct4 gene ablation in these tissues revealed no abnormalities in homeostasis or regenerative capacity. We conclude that Oct4 is dispensable for both self-renewal and maintenance of somatic stem cells in the adult mammal...
Isolation and functional characterization of side population stem cellsJonathan B Johnnidis
Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, MA, USA
Methods Mol Biol 430:183-93. 2008..In this chapter, we describe a protocol to reproducibly isolate murine BM SP cells, as well as analytic measures, such as single cell transplantation, that can be used to assess the functionality of SP-derived stem cells...
Yap1 acts downstream of α-catenin to control epidermal proliferationKarin Schlegelmilch
Stem Cell Program, Children s Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Cell 144:782-95. 2011..Together, these data identify Yap1 as a determinant of the proliferative capacity of epidermal stem cells and as an important effector of a "crowd control" molecular circuitry in mammalian skin...
Hematopoietic myelomonocytic cells are the major source of hepatocyte fusion partnersFernando D Camargo
Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, Baylor College of Medicinem Houston, Texas 77098, USA
J Clin Invest 113:1266-70. 2004..Our findings raise the possibility that differentiated myeloid cells may be useful for future therapeutic applications of in vivo cellular fusion...
Single hematopoietic stem cells generate skeletal muscle through myeloid intermediatesFernando D Camargo
Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, Baylor College of Medicine, One Baylor Plaza, BCM505, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Nat Med 9:1520-7. 2003..Our results indicate that circulating myeloid cells, in response to inflammatory cues, migrate to regenerating skeletal muscle and stochastically incorporate into mature myofibers...
Muscle-derived hematopoietic stem cells are hematopoietic in originShannon L McKinney-Freeman
Department of Pediatrics, Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, BCM 505, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 99:1341-6. 2002..Although CD45-negative cells were highly myogenic in vitro and in vivo, CD45-positive muscle-derived cells displayed only very limited myogenic activity and only in vivo...
