Dermal Fibroblasts are responsible for producing the extracellular matrix forming the connective tissue of the skin, and play a crucial role during wound healing. HDF provide an excellent model system to study many aspects of cell physiology, and have been utilized in dozens of research publications, particularly those related to skin biology and reprogramming/induced pluripotency studies. HDF were used to create, along with human synovyocytes, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) by using the now classic “Yamanaka cocktail” of Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc, the discovery for which Dr. Shinya Yamanaka was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2012 (Takanashi, 2007; 2009), and to characterize iPSC general properties, miRNA expression profiles and differentiation potential (Hayashi, 2010; Ohta, 2011; Koyanagi-Aoi, 2013; Noguchi, 20130; Razak, 2013; Sakurai, 2013; Tanaka, 2013; Yanagida, 2013)

It is well established that Escherichia coli represents a powerful tool for the over-expression of human proteins for structure/function studies. In many cases, such as for membrane transporters, the bacterial toxicity or the aggregation of the target protein hamper the

The human CGGBP1 binds to GC-rich regions and interspersed repeats, maintains homeostasis of stochastic cytosine methylation and determines DNA-binding of CTCF. Interdependence between regulation of cytosine methylation and CTCF occupancy by CGGBP1 remains unknown. By analyzing methylated DNA-sequencing data obtained

Surface modification is an important step in making a synthetic polymer cytocompatible. We have previously reported improved cytocompatibility of immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT) with the otherwise bioinert fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) upon treatment with argon plasma discharge.
