Project description:FTLD-U is the most common pathological correlate of the neurodegenerative dementia frontotemporal dementia; We used microarrays to perform global expression profiling of FTLD-U brain samples Experiment Overall Design: Postmortem brain samples were isolated from normal controls, FTLD-U patients with progranulin gene mutations (progranulin) and FTLD-U patients without progranulin gene mutations (sporadic). Regional dissections were carried out from frontal cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
