Dynamic rearrangements of cell-cell adhesion underlie a diverse range of physiological processes, but their precise molecular mechanisms are still obscure. Thus, identification of novel players that are involved in cell-cell adhesion would be important. We isolated a human kelch-related protein, Kelch-like ECT2 interacting protein (KLEIP), which contains the broad-complex, tramtrack, ... More
DMH1, a novel BMP small molecule inhibitor, increases cardiomyocyte progenitors and promotes cardiac differentiation in mouse embryonic stem cells.
Authors:Ao A, Hao J, Hopkins CR, Hong CC
Journal:PLoS One
PubMed ID:22848549
The possibility of using cell-based therapeutics to treat cardiac failure has generated significant interest since the initial introduction of stem cell-based technologies. However, the methods to quickly and robustly direct stem cell differentiation towards cardiac cell types have been limited by a reliance on recombinant growth factors to provide necessary ... More

A two-dimensional liquid phase separation of proteins from whole cell lysates coupled on-line to an electrospray-ionization time-of-flight (ESI-TOF) mass spectrometer (MS) is used to map the protein content of ovarian surface epithelial cells (OSE) and an ovarian carcinoma-derived cell line (ES2). The two dimensions involve the use of liquid isoelectric ... More
