[HTML][HTML] Regulated fluctuations in nanog expression mediate cell fate decisions in embryonic stem cells

T Kalmar, C Lim, P Hayward, S Muñoz-Descalzo… - PLoS …, 2009 - journals.plos.org
There is evidence that pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells is associated with
the activity of a network of transcription factors with Sox2, Oct4, and Nanog at the core. Using …

Analysis of the role of the Rac/Cdc42 GTPases during planar cell polarity generation in Drosophila

S Muñoz-Descalzo, A Gomez-Cabrero… - International Journal …, 2007 - accedacris.ulpgc.es
… It is interesting to mention that a mutant allele affecting the same region of the S. cerevisiae
Cdc42 protein was reported to be more than simply a null allele, having a dominant negative …

Wnt‐Notch signalling: An integrated mechanism regulating transitions between cell states

S MuñozDescalzo, J de Navascues, AM Arias - Bioessays, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The activity of Wnt and Notch signalling is central to many cell fate decisions during
development and to the maintenance and differentiation of stem cell populations in homeostasis. …

Wnt/ss-catenin signalling and the dynamics of fate decisions in early mouse embryos and embryonic stem (ES) cells

S Munoz-Descalzo, AK Hadjantonakis… - Seminars in cell & …, 2015 - Elsevier
Wnt/ß-catenin signalling is a widespread cell signalling pathway with multiple roles during
vertebrate development. In mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells, there is a dual role for ß-…

Oct4 is required for lineage priming in the developing inner cell mass of the mouse blastocyst

GC Le Bin, S Muñoz-Descalzo, A Kurowski… - …, 2014 - journals.biologists.com
The transcription factor Oct4 is required in vitro for establishment and maintenance of embryonic
stem cells and for reprogramming somatic cells to pluripotency. In vivo, it prevents the …

In vivo and in vitro models of diabetes: a focus on pregnancy

…, C Valverde-Tercedor, S Muñoz-Descalzo… - Diabetes: from Research …, 2021 - Springer
… in vitro functional organs using the patient’s own cells for cell therapy, organ transplant or …
(iPSCs) derived from the patient’s fibroblasts or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (see …

AID stabilizes stem-cell phenotype by removing epigenetic memory of pluripotency genes

…, N Schrode, TC Liu, P Franck, S Muñoz-Descalzo… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
The activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID; also known as AICDA) enzyme is required
for somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination at the immunoglobulin locus 1 . In …

[HTML][HTML] Robust and automated three-dimensional segmentation of densely packed cell nuclei in different biological specimens with Lines-of-Sight decomposition

B Mathew, A Schmitz, S Muñoz-Descalzo, N Ansari… - BMC …, 2015 - Springer
… Data processing using the complete pipeline with the test datasets took 8916 s for the
mouse embryo, 3408 s for the breast cancer spheroid and 26487 s for the pancreatic cancer …

Correlations between the levels of Oct4 and Nanog as a signature for naïve pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells

S Muñoz Descalzo, P RuÉ, J Garcia-Ojalvo… - Stem …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
The pluripotent state is traditionally associated with large absolute levels of certain transcription
factors such as Nanog and Oct4. Here, we present experimental observations using …
