Previous work has suggested that the imprinted gene Phlda2 regulates the signalling function of the placenta by modulating the size of the endocrine compartment. This study investigated the affect that Phlda2 mutant placenta has upon the brains of the wildtype dams carrying different placenta and consequently offspring.
Maternal care boosted by paternal imprinting in mammals.

View SamplesIn order to assess whether culturing adipose-derived adult stem cells (ADASCs) affect their gene expression (see Sample Growth Condition Protocol), we wanted to identify possible genes that were differentially expressed between cultured polyclonal CD31- ADASCs and freshly isolated (uncultured) polyclonal CD31- ADASCs. To that end, RNA was isolated from cultured and uncultured ADASCs from three different donors and analyzed using the Affymetrix Microarray HG-U133A. Then, using the Affymetrix program MAS 5.0 we performed three comparisons and could identify differentially expressed transcripts common between the three donors, using the Affymetrix program DMT 3.0.
