Apodemus mice Microtus voles Other rodent species Beaver Muskrat
In conclusion, our study provide evidences for generation of RGC-like AT 9283 from ES cell derived neural progenitors which will have immense importance in cell replacement therapy for treating neurodegenerative diseases like, glaucoma.

In this study, we isolated CD133-positive cells from GBM tissues, and this GBM-CD133+ population displayed higher levels of SirT1 expression. Knock-down of SirT1 expression in CD133+ cells enhanced the ability of radiotherapy to inhibit tumor invasion, colony formation and self-renewal. Survival analysis further demonstrated that the mean survival rate of mice with CD133+ tumors under radiation treatment was significantly improved by knock-down of SirT1. These results suggested that the resistance of GBM-CD133+ to radiotherapy is partially due to preferential activation of SirT1 gene expression.
