• Transfection of Human Tooth-Specific Lineage Cells with FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  Similar to other epithelial appendages, teeth form through reciprocal signaling interactions between the ectodermally derived dental epithelium and the mesenchyme. These signaling interactions program enamel matrix-secreting ameloblasts and dentin-forming odontoblasts. To study the signaling network involved in odontogenesis, we co-cultured primary human fetal dental epithelial cells and dental pulp cells to reconstitute the reciprocal signaling. more

• Superior Transfection of Human Embryonic Stem Cells with FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  Gene manipulation techniques are potentially powerful tools in many applications for human embryonic stem (ES) cell research. Controlling expression levels of specific genes may improve the efficiency of differentiation induction. Cell types of interest may be collected using marker genes and antibiotic resistance genes. Tracking of ES cells derived after engraftment could be facilitated by tracer genes. It may also be possible to selectively destroy transplanted cells. more

• Chromosome Painting In Silico in a Bacterial Species Reveals Fine Population Structure

  Identifying population structure forms an important basis for genetic and evolutionary studies. Most current methods to identify population structure have limitations in analyzing haplotypes and recombination across the genome. Recently, a method of chromosome painting in silico has been developed more
