Primitive myeloid leukemic cell lines can be driven to differentiate to monocyte-like cells by 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1, 25 (OH) 2D3), and, therefore, 1, 25 (OH) 2D3 may be useful …
Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells that differentiate into multiple cell lineages. The commitment of ES cells into the adipocyte lineage is dependent on an early 3 …
Activation of the MEK/ERK/MAP kinase signaling pathway promotes the proliferation and survival of hematopoietic cells. The kinases MEK-1, MEK-2, ERK-1/MAPK and ERK-2/MAPK …

IL-21 is a cytokine known to mediate its biological action via the IL-21R, composed of a specific chain, IL-21Rα, and the common γ-chain (CD132). Recent data suggest that IL-21 …
Retinoic acid (RA) is used to treat leukemia and other cancers through its ability to promote cancer cell differentiation. Strategies to enhance the anticancer effects of RA could deepen …
