Lab-grown 'mini-colons' enable the simulation of colorectal tumor dynamics and the high-resolution study of interactions with cells from the tumor's native microenvironment. These next-generation organoids offer a wealth of new experimental opportunities, ...
Although the advent of organoids has opened unprecedented perspectives for basic and translational research, immune system-related organoids remain largely underdeveloped. Here, we established organoids from the thymus, the lymphoid organ responsible for T ...
Nicotinamide riboside kinases (NRKs) control the conversion of dietary Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) to NAD(+), but little is known about their contribution to endogenous NAD(+) turnover and muscle plasticity during skeletal muscle growth and remodeling. Usin ...
Mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) are sentinel sites of enteral immunosurveillance and immune homeostasis. Immune cells from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are constantly recruited to the mLNs in steady-state and under inflammatory conditions resulting in th ...
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells involved in the initiation of immune responses. We generated a tolerogenic DC (tolDC) line that constitutively secretes interleukin-10 (IL10-DCs), expressed lower levels of co-stimulatory and ...
The eukaryotic genome is hierarchically structured yet highly dynamic. Regulating transcription in this environment demands a high level of coordination to permit many proteins to interact with chromatin fiber at appropriate sites in a timely manner. We de ...
