Many studies have been demonstrated that baicalin, a kind of flavonoid isolated from an important medicinal plant Scutellariae Radix, could inhibit tumorigenesis, but the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. So this study was designed to investigate whether baicalin could perturb the cell cycle progression on insulinoma cell line, RINm5F, from American Type Culture Collection and discuss the possibly molecular mechanisms. After baicalin treatment, changes in morphology ...

In recent studies pancreatic stellate cells, an undifferentiated cell type, have the capacity of extended selfrenewal and are able to differentiate spontaneously into cell types of all three germ layers expressing markers for smooth muscle cells, neurons, glial cells, epithelial cells, chondrocytes and secretory cells (insulin, amylase). Here we investigated the protocol that induced pancreatic stellate-like cells to neuron in vitro. Pancreatic stellate-like cells from adult S...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to differentiate into various lineages in vivo and in vitro. Recent reports have shown that adult mouse bone marrow can differentiate toward a pancreatic endocrine beta-cells phenotype; Once engrafted into the host, bone marrow-derived cells exhibit markers and physiological behavior characteristic of pancreatic beta-cells, thus providing a new methods for the therapy and treatment of diabetes. In this study, we explore...
