Automated Dual-Mode Cell Monitoring To Simultaneously Explore Calcium Dynamics and Contraction-Relaxation Kinetics within Drug-Treated Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Pierre Marquet, Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Bokyoung Kim

This manuscript proposes a new dual-mode cell imaging system for studying the relationships between calcium dynamics and the contractility process of cardiomyocytes derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. Practically, this dual-mode cell imaging ...

Optimization of the Distance between Cylindrical Light Distributors Used for Interstitial Light Delivery in Biological Tissues

Georges Wagnières, Aurelien Stephen Arnaud Gregor

Cylindrical light diffusers (CLDs) are often employed for the treatment of large tumors by interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) and photoimmunotherapy (PIT), which involves careful treatment planning to maximize therapeutic dose coverage while minimizi ...

Dissecting the role of biliary epithelial cells during non-alcoholic fatty liver disease progression

Ece Yildiz

The liver is the largest solid organ and the only one capable of using regenerative mechanisms to recover its mass fully. Although liver regeneration from acute injuries has been effective and extensively studied, chronic liver damage has adverse effects o ...

New approaches to uncover the minimally functional hematopoietic niche using the adipocytic differentiation axis: pharmacological modulation and adrenal niche induction

Frédérica Schyrr

Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) reside in their niche, a structure that regulates the balance of cellular quiescence, self-renewal and commitment towards differentiated cells. This highly plastic niche is formed by several cellular players, ...

Bone marrow adiposity and the hematopoietic niche: A historical perspective of reciprocity, heterogeneity, and lineage commitment

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Josefine Catharina Pedersen Tratwal, Shanti Rojas-Sutterlin, Charles Christopher Bataclan

Purpose: Here we review the current knowledge on bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) as active contributors to the regulation of the hematopoietic niche, and as potentially pivotal players in the progression of hematological malignancies. We highlight the hiera ...

Robust landscapes of ribosome dwell times and aminoacyl-tRNAs in response to nutrient stress in liver

Felix Naef, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Cédric Gobet, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Nagammal Neelagandan

Translation depends on messenger RNA (mRNA)-specific initiation, elongation, and termination rates. While translation elongation is well studied in bacteria and yeast, less is known in higher eukaryotes. Here we combined ribosome and transfer RNA (tRNA) pr ...

PEG/HA Hybrid Hydrogels for Biologically and Mechanically Tailorable Bone Marrow Organoids

Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Queralt Vallmajó Martín

Bone marrow (BM) organoids provide powerful tools to study the vital interplay between the BM microenvironment and resident cells. Current biomaterials, however, are limited in terms of versatility for independently studying the biochemical and biophysical ...

A novel culture method that sustains ER alpha signaling in human breast cancer tissue microstructures

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos

Background Estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) signaling is a defining and driving event in most breast cancers; ER alpha is detected in malignant epithelial cells of 75% of all breast cancers (classified as ER-positive breast cancer) and, in these cases, E ...

Genomic targets and molecular partners of the chromatin regulator KAP1

Annamaria Kauzlaric

KAP1 is an enigmatic regulatory protein, first described some twenty years ago, shown to be involved in multiple and diverse cellular functions. Specifically, it mediates tasks critical to cell growth and differentiation, pluripotency, apoptosis, gene sile ...

Therapeutic Proteins Engineered for Super-Affinity to the Extracellular Matrix in Regenerative Medicine

Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Regenerative medicine aims to repair body tissues when natural mechanisms fail. Growth factors (GFs) are essential proteins that promote tissue regeneration upon injury, and as such, are very promising therapeutic drugs in regenerative medicine. Due to the ...

Role of microRNAs in tumor-associated macrophages

Caroline Maïté Monnard

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) infiltrate both mouse and human tumors, typically in high numbers, and display complex interactions with cancer cells, endothelial cells (ECs) and other immune cells. TAMs comprise molecularly distinct subsets. Two such ...

Combined CSL and p53 downregulation promotes cancer-associated fibroblast activation

Melody Swartz, Cathrin Brisken, Csaba Ferenc László

Stromal fibroblast senescence has been linked to ageing-associated cancer risk. However, density and proliferation of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are frequently increased. Loss or downmodulation of the Notch effector CSL (also known as RBP-Jκ) in ...

The role of recruited bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells in the establishment of the tumor stroma and a growth-supportive environment

Jean-Paul Abbühl

The Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) is a self-renewing multipotent progenitor originally found in the bone marrow. It has drawn strong interest from translational research because of the multipotency of MSCs, their immunosuppression, their intrinsic homing and ...

SPROUTY2 is a β-catenin and FOXO3a target gene indicative of poor prognosis in colon cancer

Jörg Hülsken, Anja Irmisch

SPROUTY2 (SPRY2) is an intracellular regulator of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling involved in cell growth, differentiation and tumorigenesis. Here, we show that SPRY2 is a target gene of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway that is abnormally activated in more ...
