NCoR1 Protects Mice From Dextran Sodium Sulfate Induced Colitis by Guarding Colonic Crypt Cells From Luminal Insult

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Colonic stem cells are essential for producing the mucosal lining, which in turn protects stem cells from insult by luminal factors. Discovery of genetic and biochemical events that control stem cell proliferation and differentiation can ...

Engineering Stem Cell Self-organization to Build Better Organoids

Matthias Lütolf

Organoids form through self-organization processes in which initially homogeneous populations of stem cells spontaneously break symmetry and undergo in-vivo-like pattern formation and morphogenesis, though the processes controlling this are poorly characte ...

Bioengineering the Human Muscle Stem-Cell Niche for Therapeutic Applications

Omid Mashinchian

In spite of decades of research, no feasible method for obtaining sufficient numbers of uncommitted muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for therapy of degenerative muscle diseases exists. One of the most fundamental problems associated with stem cell therapy of musc ...

Machine Learning Identifies Stemness Features Associated with Oncogenic Dedifferentiation

Jia Liu, Jian Wang, Jun Li, Min Wang

Cancer progression involves the gradual loss of a differentiated phenotype and acquisition of progenitor and stem-cell-like features. Here, we provide novel stemness indices for assessing the degree of oncogenic dedifferentiation. We used an innovative one ...

Evolutionally dynamic control of LINE-1 elements in embryonic stem cells

Natali Pennese

Mobile elements are important evolutionary forces that challenge genomic integrity. Long interspersed element-1 (L1, also known as LINE-1) is the only autonomous transposon still active in the human genome. It displays an unusual pattern of evolution, with ...
