Publications
Therapeutic liver reconstitution with murine cells isolated long after deathLaura Erker
Oregon Stem Cell Center, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon 97239, USA
Gastroenterology 139:1019-29. 2010..For some liver diseases, hepatocyte transplantation could be a viable alternative, but donor cells currently are procured from the same sources as whole organs, and thus the supply is severely limited...
Myelomonocytic cells are sufficient for therapeutic cell fusion in liverHolger Willenbring
Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, Oregon Stem Cell Center, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon 97239, USA
Nat Med 10:744-8. 2004..Because stable bone marrow engraftment or HSCs are not required for this process, macrophages or their highly proliferative progenitors provide potential for targeted and well-tolerated cell therapy aimed at organ regeneration...
Delineating the hepatocyte's hematopoietic fusion partnerHolger Willenbring
Oregon Stem Cell Center and Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon, USA
Cell Cycle 3:1489-91. 2004..Now it should be feasible to increase the efficiency and assess the potential of cell fusion for the correction of a broad range of somatic cell types that can be targeted by fusion...
In vivo genetic selection of renal proximal tubulesPatrice K Held
Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA
Mol Ther 13:49-58. 2006..These data demonstrate that extensive regeneration of the renal proximal tubule compartment can be achieved through genetic selection of functional cells...
Myeloid lineage progenitors give rise to vascular endotheliumAlexis S Bailey
Oregon Stem Cell Center, Center for Hematologic Malignancies, Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, 97239, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:13156-61. 2006..Our findings indicate that endothelial cells are an intrinsic component of myeloid lineage differentiation and underscore the close functional relationship between the hematopoietic and vascular systems...
Bone marrow-derived cells fuse with normal and transformed intestinal stem cellsAdnan Z Rizvi
Department of Surgery, Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology, and Oregon Cancer Institute, Oregon Stem Cell Center, Oregon Health and Science University, 3181 Southwest Sam Jackson Park Road, Portland, OR 97239, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:6321-5. 2006..Fusion of BMDCs with neoplastic epithelium did not result in tumor initiation. Our findings suggest an unexpected role for BMDCs in both regeneration and tumorigenesis of the intestine...
Cell fusion is the principal source of bone-marrow-derived hepatocytesXin Wang
Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon 97239, USA
Nature 422:897-901. 2003..We conclude that hepatocytes derived form bone marrow arise from cell fusion and not by differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells...
Sustained phosphorylation of Bid is a marker for resistance to Fas-induced apoptosis during chronic liver diseasesArndt Vogel
Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon, USA
Gastroenterology 130:104-19. 2006..To clarify whether stress-induced apoptosis resistance is a general feature of chronic liver diseases, an animal model of chronic cholestasis was examined...
Embryonic versus adult stem cell pluripotency: in liver only fusion mattersHolger Willenbring
Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon 97239, USA
J Assist Reprod Genet 20:393-4. 2003
Loss of p21 permits carcinogenesis from chronically damaged liver and kidney epithelial cells despite unchecked apoptosisHolger Willenbring
Institute for Regeneration Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
Cancer Cell 14:59-67. 2008..Thus, p21's antiproliferative function is indispensable for the suppression of carcinogenesis from chronically injured liver and renal epithelial cells and cannot be compensated by apoptosis...
A reproducible and well-tolerated method for 2/3 partial hepatectomy in miceClaudia Mitchell
Institut Cochin, Universite Paris Descartes, CNRS UMR 8104, Paris, France
Nat Protoc 3:1167-70. 2008..As this protocol is not associated with mortality and gives highly reproducible results, we hope that it will be widely used and serve to standardize 2/3 PH in mice...
