Project description:Gene expressions were compared between non-stress Arabidopsis plants (0 hr at low-temperature treatment) and low-temperature treated plants (2 hrs and 10 hrs low-temperature treatment).
Project description:To test the utility of iPSC-derived OC tissue chip in drug screening, Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor commonly used to treat OA, was administered to the system. Celecoxib was administered at 10 µM concentration, and showed no noticeable adverse effect on the health of normal chondral tissue. Administration of Celecoxib to both OC-C and OC-B were used to simulate the typically systemic action of Celecoxib, represented by the “SY” group. In addition, we also examined the potential effect of intraarticular (IA) application of Celecoxib in treating OA, by delivery only to OC-C, namely the “IA” group. Normal OC tissues without any treatments served as the control (CL).
Project description:This study explores the profiles of genes expressed during conditional differentiation of inner ear hair cell precursors in vitro. The cell line UB/OC-1 was derived from mouse embryonic organs of Corti (Rivolta et al, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B 265: 1595-1603, 1998) and it can be induced to differentiate upon a temperature shift. The study has been replicated in two separate populations of cells, named Exp A and Exp B. Exp A includes daily time points from 0 to 9 days, then 11 and 14 days. Exp B includes days 0, 2, 4, and 9. The manuscript associated to this work is Rivolta et al., Genome Research 12(7):1091-1099, 2002. Keywords: time-course
