Delivery of A Chemically Modified Noncoding RNA Domain Improves Dystrophic Myotube Function

Fast twitch muscle fibers are prone to degradation in skeletal muscle pathologies, such as sarcopenia and muscular dystrophies. We previously showed that the exercise-induced long noncoding RNA CYTOR promotes fast-twitch myogenesis. Here, we identify an in ...

Deciphering the molecular events leading to the global restoration of the chromatin landscape during mitotic exit

Silja Michelle Placzek

Two fundamental properties of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are their ability to self-renew and differentiate into all somatic cell types. Maintenance of their identity faces major challenges when transitioning through mitosis, as most DNA-binding proteins a ...

Engineered substrates incapable of induction of chondrogenic differentiation compared to the chondrocyte imprinted substrates

Philippe Renaud, Leila Montazeri

It is well established that surface topography can affect cell functions. However, finding a reproducible and reliable method for regulating stem cell behavior is still under investigation. It has been shown that cell imprinted substrates contain micro- an ...

A multi-reservoir extruder for time-resolved serial protein crystallography and compound screening at X-ray free-electron lasers

Christoph Bostedt, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira

Serial crystallography at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) permits the determination of radiation-damage free static as well as time-resolved protein structures at room temperature. Efficient sample delivery is a key factor for such experiments. Here, we ...

Differential impact of TGF beta/SMAD signaling activity elicited by Activin A and Nodal on endoderm differentiation of epiblast stem cells

Pierre Osteil

Allocation of cells to an endodermal fate in the gastrulating embryo is driven by Nodal signaling and consequent activation of TGF beta pathway. In vitro methodologies striving to recapitulate the process of endoderm differentiation, however, use TGF beta ...

Generation of Human iPSC-Derived Neurons on Nanowire Arrays Featuring Varying Lengths, Pitches, and Diameters

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Wonjong Kim

Nanowire (NW) arrays interfaced with biological cells have been demonstrated to be potent tools for advanced applications such as sensing, stimulation, or drug delivery. Many implementations, however, have so far only been studied with rather robust basic ...

Generating macrocyclic inhibitors of protein-protein interactions

Gontran Sangouard

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in many diseases and their modulation is an attractive strategy for developing new therapeutics. However, the relatively large and often flat binding surfaces of PPIs makes the development of inhibit ...

Targeted search for scaling genes reveals matrix metalloproteinase 3 as a scaler of the dorsal-ventral pattern in Xenopus laevis embryos

Daria Korotkova

How embryos scale patterning according to size is still not fully understood. Through in silico screening and analysis of reaction-diffusion systems that could be responsible for scaling, we predicted the existence of genes whose expression is sensitive to ...

Deconstructing body axis morphogenesis in zebrafish embryos using robot-assisted tissue micromanipulation

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Andrew Charles Oates, Erik Mailand, Ece Özelçi, Matthias Rüegg

Classic microsurgical techniques, such as those used in the early 1900s by Mangold and Spemann, have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of embryonic development. However, these techniques are highly specialized, leading to issues of inter-ope ...

A satellite DNA array barcodes chromosome 7 and regulates totipotency via ZFP819

Didier Trono, Gabriela Ecco

Mammalian genomes are a battleground for genetic conflict between repetitive elements and KRAB-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs). We asked whether KZFPs can regulate cell fate by using ZFP819, which targets a satellite DNA array, ZP3AR. ZP3AR coats megabase reg ...

In vitro endoderm emergence and self-organisation in the absence of extraembryonic tissues and embryonic architecture

Stefano Davide Vianello

In humans, mice, and other mammals key internal organs such as the gut, the lungs, the pancreas, and the liver all derive from the same embryonic tissue: the endoderm. The development of all of these structures thus depends on a same set of early cells, an ...
