We searched for drugs that alleviate the reduction of dopaminergic neurons caused by the administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to the substantia nigra of the rat brain. Human milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein (MFG-E8) is similar to MFG-E8-S, a short isoform, of the mouse MFG-E8. However, the function of MFG-E8-S ... More
Natural Killer Cell Alloreactivity Against Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Their Neuronal Derivatives into Dopaminergic Neurons.
In recent years, great hope has arisen surrounding human stem cells, particularly human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells, as nearly all human tissues can be derived from hiPS cells, using a specific protocol. Therefore, hiPS cells can be a source for replacing defective tissues and make up for the lack ... More
