HUMAN EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS DISPLAY A PRONOUNCED SENSITIVITY TO THE CYCLIN DEPENDENT KINASE INHIBITOR ROSCOVITINE

Human embryonic stem cells display a pronounced sensitivity to the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor Roscovitine

Abstract Background The essentially unlimited expansion potential and the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) make them attractive for cell-based therapeutic purposes.Although hESCs can indefinitely proliferate in culture, unlike transformed cancer cells, they are endowed with a cell-intrinsic property termed mitochondrial priming th

Morphological and molecular evidence suggests that Indosasa gigantea and Acidosasa glauca (Poaceae, Bambusoideae, Arundinarieae) are conspecific

Indosasa gigantea is a bamboo with great economical value, but its generic designation has been Elastic controversial for a long time.This study aims to ascertain whether I.gigantea belongs to Indosasa or Acidosasa, based on morphological and molecular evidence from both plastome and single-copy nuclear orthologous genes.The results of phylogenetic
