IN VITRO GENERATION OF NEUROMESODERMAL PROGENITORS REVEALS DISTINCT ROLES FOR WNT SIGNALLING IN THE SPECIFICATION OF SPINAL CORD AND PARAXIAL MESODERM IDENTITY.

In vitro generation of neuromesodermal progenitors reveals distinct roles for wnt signalling in the specification of spinal cord and paraxial mesoderm identity.

Cells of the spinal cord and somites arise from shared, dual-fated precursors, located towards the posterior of the elongating embryo.Here we show that these neuromesodermal progenitors (NMPs) can readily be generated in vitro from mouse and human pluripotent stem cells by activating Wnt and Fgf signalling, timed to emulate in vivo development.Simi

The effects of tualang honey on female reproductive organs, tibia bone and hormonal profile in ovariectomised rats - animal model for menopause

Abstract Background Honey is a highly nutritional natural product that has been widely used in folk medicine for here a number of therapeutic purposes.We evaluated whether Malaysian Tualang honey (AgroMas, Malaysia) was effective in reducing menopausal syndrome in ovariectomised female rats; an animal model for menopause.Methods The rats were divid
