Germline Competent Embryonic Stem Cells Derived from Rat Blastocysts
Ping Li,Chang Tong,Ruty Mehrian-Shai,Li Jia,Nancy Wu,Youzhen Yan,Robert E. Maxson,Eric N. Schulze,Houyan Song,Chih-Lin Hsieh,Martin F. Pera,Qi-Long Ying +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that rat ES cells can be efficiently derived, propagated, and genetically manipulated in the presence of small molecules that specifically inhibit GSK3, MEK, and FGF receptor tyrosine kinases.

Generation of a fluorescent transgenic zebrafish for detection of environmental estrogens.
Hao Chen,Jingying Hu,Jian Yang,Yuexiang Wang,Hui Xu,Qiu Jiang,Yuebo Gong,Yinliang Gu,Houyan Song +8 more
TL;DR: The transgenic zebrafish line generated is a promising candidate system for monitoring environmental estrogens directly, rapidly and easily and GFP expression could be induced by other estrogenic compounds, including beta-estradiol and cadmium chloride.

Pleiotropy of glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibition by CHIR99021 promotes self-renewal of embryonic stem cells from refractory mouse strains.
Shoudong Ye,Li Tan,Rongqing Yang,Bo Fang,Su Qu,Eric N. Schulze,Houyan Song,Qi-Long Ying,Ping Li +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that CHIR99021, a GSK-3 specific inhibitor, promotes self-renewal of ES cells from recalcitrant C57BL/6 and BALB/c mouse strains through stabilization of β-catenin and c-Myc protein levels.
TBX1, a DiGeorge syndrome candidate gene, is inhibited by retinoic acid
TL;DR: The results suggested that RA could produce an altered Tbx1 expression pattern in zebrafish and in addition, RA could repress TbX1 expression in a dose-dependent manner.
Differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into hepatocytes induced by a combination of cytokines and sodium butyrate
TL;DR: An efficient method for directing the differentiation of mouse ESCs into cells that exhibit the characteristics of mature hepatocytes is developed, useful for research into the molecular mechanisms underlying liver development, and could provide a source of hepatocytes for transplantation therapy and drug screening.
