369 results about "Mother cells" patented technology

In cell division, a mother or parent cell is the cell that divides to give rise to two daughter cells. In mitosis, the two daughter cells contain the same genetic content as the mother cell. In meiosis, the daughter cells have different genetic content and half the number of chromosomes of the mother cell.

Methods are provided for generating highly diverse libraries of expression vectors encoding fusion proteins such as single-chain antibodies via homologous recombination in yeast. The method comprises: transforming into yeast cells a linearized yeast expression vector having a 5'- and 3'-terminus sequence at the site of linearization and a library of insert nucleotide sequences that are linear and double-stranded; and having homologous recombination occur between the vector and the insert sequence such that the insert sequence is included in the vector in the transformed yeast cells. The insert sequence comprises a first nucleotide sequence encoding a first polypeptide subunit, a second nucleotide sequence encoding a second polypeptide subunit, a linker sequence encoding a linker peptide that links the first and second polypeptide subunits, and a 5'- and 3'-flanking sequence at the ends of the insert sequence which are sufficiently homologous to the 5'- and 3'-terminus sequences of the linearized yeast expression vector, respectively, to enable homologous recombination to occur. The first polypeptide subunit, the second polypeptide subunit, and the linker polypeptide are expressed as a single fusion protein; and the first and second nucleotide sequences each independently varies within the library of expression vectors.

Using Alternating Electric Fields to Increase Cell Membrane Permeability

Certain substances (e.g., large molecules) that ordinarily cannot traverse the cell membrane of cells can be introduced into cells by applying an alternating electric field to the cell for a period of time, wherein the frequency of the alternating electric field is selected so that application of the alternating electric field increases permeability of the cell membrane. Once the permeability of the cell membrane has been increased, the substance is able to cross the cell membrane. This approach is particularly useful in the context of cancer cells (e.g., glioblastoma).

The invention relates to a method of making pluripotent stem cells that does not involve the formation of early preimplantation embryos or fetal tissue. The method has general utility in the production of pluripotent stem cells from many mammalian species but has particular application in man where pluripotent stem cell production can be customized to particular human individual. The method involves the fusion of donor somatic or stem cells (or their karyoplasts) with cytoplasmic, membrane-delimited fragments of mammalian oocytes or zygotes. After the initial genomic reprogramming occurs, the cells can proliferate and thus multiply in vitro yielding a large number of autologous cells for cell therapy application. The result of this process is a cell population genomically identical to the somatic, differentiated cells derived from an individual patient. However, these cells are pluripotent in that upon application of specific growth factors, the cells are capable of differentiating into specific cell types as required by the sought clinical indication.

Targeted Osmotic Lysis of Cancer Cells

A targeted osmotic lysis (TOL) of tumor cells that over-express voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) has been developed that uses a combined therapy of a drug that blocks sodium, potassium-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) that is then followed by an activation of VGSCs, for example, by electrical or pharmacological stimulation. Activation of VGSCs conducts sodium into the cancer cells in much greater amounts than non-cancer cells. Water follows this sodium gradient into the cancer cells, causing swelling and lysis. Because non-cancerous cells do not over-express VGSCs, less sodium and less water will enter the cells, and the non-cancerous cells will not lyse. This method is applicable to all cells that over-express VGSCs, including, but not limited to, highly invasive breast cancer, prostate cancer, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma, lymphoma, mesothelioma, neuroblastoma, and cervical cancer.
