Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells01:13

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

27.3K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different cell types. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are terminally differentiated; however, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they dedifferentiate and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Embryonic Stem Cells

32.1K
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells, meaning they can produce any cell type in the body. This gives them tremendous potential in science and medicine since they can generate specific cell types for use in research or to replace body cells lost due to damage or disease.

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation

6.6K
The development of all multicellular organisms starts with the fusion of haploid cells called sperm and egg to form a diploid zygote. A zygote is a totipotent cell that can develop into a complete organism. The zygote undergoes cell division or cleavage to form an 8-cell mass. Until this stage, the cells are spherical, loosely attached, and remain totipotent. Totipotent cells are capable of developing both the embryonic and the extraembryonic tissues. However, as they continue to divide, they...

Oscillations In An LC Circuit01:30

Oscillations In An LC Circuit

3.0K
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

Forced Oscillations01:06

Forced Oscillations

7.7K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Summary

Human circadian clock development is regulated by CLOCK protein suppression. This posttranscriptional mechanism, observed in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), mirrors findings in mouse development, suggesting a conserved regulatory pathway for circadian rhythms.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Chronobiology
  • Stem Cell Biology

Background:

  • Mammalian circadian clocks orchestrate physiological functions and mature gradually during development.
  • Previous research identified posttranscriptional suppression of CLOCK protein as crucial for mouse circadian clock emergence.
  • The conserved mechanisms regulating human circadian clock development remain largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the developmental emergence of circadian molecular oscillations in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
  • To determine if posttranscriptional suppression of CLOCK protein is also a key mechanism in human circadian clock development.

Main Methods:

  • Culturing human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in vitro.
  • Monitoring circadian molecular oscillations during differentiation.
  • Analyzing CLOCK protein and mRNA expression levels in undifferentiated and differentiating iPSCs.

Main Results:

  • Undifferentiated human iPSCs exhibited no discernible circadian molecular oscillations.
  • The emergence of circadian oscillations in differentiating human iPSCs required a prolonged culture duration compared to mice.
  • CLOCK protein expression was posttranscriptionally suppressed in undifferentiated human iPSCs, despite detectable CLOCK mRNA levels.

Conclusions:

  • Circadian molecular oscillations do not manifest in early human development, as shown by iPSCs.
  • Posttranscriptional suppression of CLOCK protein is a conserved mechanism regulating the emergence of the circadian clock in both humans and mice.
  • This finding provides critical insights into the developmental regulation of the human circadian system.
