The satellite cell of skeletal muscle provides a paradigm for quiescent and activated tissue stem cell states. We have carried out transcriptome analyses by comparing satellite cells from adult skeletal muscles, where they are mainly quiescent, with cells from growing muscles, regenerating (mdx) muscles, or with cells in culture, where they are activated. Our study gives new insights into the satellite cell biology during activation and in respect with its niche.
An adult tissue-specific stem cell in its niche: a gene profiling analysis of in vivo quiescent and activated muscle satellite cells.

View SamplesThe purpose of this study was to analyze the genomic signatures and profiles of skin from ichthyosis (various subtypes) vs. healthy patients. The analysis strategy was to study differentially expressed genes common to the ichthyosis shared phenotype, as well as individual ichthyosis subtypes, and compare and contrast to the genomic profiles of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
Ichthyosis molecular fingerprinting shows profound T<sub>H</sub>17 skewing and a unique barrier genomic signature.
