Abstract:
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells derived from the early embryo and are able to differentiate into cells belonging to the three germ layers. They are a valuable tool in research and for clinical use, but their applications are limited by ethical and technical issues. In 2006 a breakthrough report described the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). IPSCs are ESC-like cells generated from somatic cells by forcing the ectopic expression of specific transcription factors. This circumvents the ethical issues about the use of embryos in research and provides multiple

Abstract:
The hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) mutation within C9orf72 gene is the most common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Several hypotheses have been proposed for how the mutation contributes to pathogenicity, including the loss of C9orf72 gene function, RNA-mediate toxicity and the formation of toxic dipeptides by repeat-associated non-ATG (RAN) translation. Patient-specific iPSCs provide a promising tool for the study of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of human diseases in relevant cell types and discovering potential therapies. The CRIS

Abstract:
Development leads unidirectionally towards a more restricted cell fate that is usually stable. However, it has been proven that developmental systems are reversible by the success of animal cloning of a differentiated somatic genome through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Recently, reprogramming of somatic cells to a pluripotent embryonic stem cell (ESC)-like state by introducing defined transcripton factor has been achieved, resulting in the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which resemble ESCs. iPSC reprogramming is of great medical interest, as it has the potential

Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia Nigra pars compacta in the midbrain and the presence of intracellular aggregates, known as Lewy bodies (LBs), in the surviving neurons. The aetiology of PD is unknown but a causative role for α-Synuclein (SNCA) has been proposed. Although the function of αSyn is not well understood, a number of pathological mechanisms associated with αSyn toxicity have been proposed. In this study, nine induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) lines from healthy individuals and PD patients carrying t

Abstract:
Objective: Brugada Syndrome is an autosomal dominant congenital heart disease that is responsible for 20% of sudden deaths of patients with structurally normal hearts. The majority of mutations involve the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A and give rise to classical symptoms, which include an abnormal electrocardiogram with ST segment elevation and a predisposition to ventricular fibrillation. To date, the implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator is the only proven effective treatment of the disease.

Abstract:
Since Yamanaka and Takahashi first described the isolation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in 2006, researchers have invested a vast amount of time and resources into trying to understand the process of reprogramming. However, the exact mechanisms underlying the induction of somatic cells to pluripotency is still incompletely understood. With this in mind, a screening approach was undertaken to identify shRNA that enhance the reprogramming process. A retrovirus based system was used to knock down candidate genes during reprogramming of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) containing dox

Abstract:
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) can be made from adult somatic cells by reprogramming them with Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. IPSC have given rise to a new technology to study and treat human disease (Takahashi et al., 2007). However, before iPSC clinical application, we need to step back and address two main challenges: (i) Genetic stability of iPSC. (ii) Immune response of iPSC-derived cells. To address these key issues, the overall mission of this PhD thesis is to advance iPSC technology by addressing two objectives. First, is to replace c-Myc with Cyclin D1 in the reprogramming co

Abstract:
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are generated by reprogramming somatic cells to an embryonic state. Therefore iPSCs represent an extremely valuable tool for modelling disease and organ toxicity, with enormous potential in veterinary medicine. Several equine diseases are currently untreatable and can result in euthanasia on medical grounds. In contrast to humans, in vitro models for cellular research in equine do not exist. Therefore it has been necessary to explore the use of stem cells in constructing cell based equine models. Pluripotent stem cell populations are of great interest in

Abstract:
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract but most commonly the ileum and the colon. The inflammation extends through the entire thickness of the bowel wall from the mucosa to the serosa. Thiopurines are drugs commonly used in Crohn’s disease (CD) even if some adverse effects are reported. In particular, we focused on the study thiopurine-induced pancreatitis (TIP), a severe and idiosyncratic adverse reaction that affects around 3-5% of CD patients treated with azathioprine, that leads to therapy interruption a

Abstract:
The generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) presents a challenge to normal developmental processes. The low efficiency and heterogeneity of most methods have hindered understanding of the precise molecular mechanisms promoting, and roadblocks preventing, efficient reprogramming. While several intermediate populations have been described, it has proved difficult to characterize the rare, asynchronous transition from these intermediate stages to iPSCs. The rapid expansion of a minor population of reprogrammed cells can also obscure investigation of relevant processes. Understanding
