Autologous and Allogeneic Cytotherapies for Large Knee (Osteo)Chondral Defects: Manufacturing Process Benchmarking and Parallel Functional Qualification

Sandra Jaccoud, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Corinne Scaletta, Salim Elias Darwiche, Cédric Peneveyre, Alexis Laurent, Annick Jeannerat, Robin Martin

Cytotherapies are often necessary for the management of symptomatic large knee (osteo)-chondral defects. While autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has been clinically used for 30 years, allogeneic cells (clinical-grade FE002 primary chondroprogenitor ...

Mimicking Loading-Induced Cartilage Self-Heating in Vitro Promotes Matrix Formation in Chondrocyte-Laden Constructs with Different Mechanical Properties

Dominique Pioletti, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Peyman Karami, Theofanis Stampoultzis, Yanheng Guo

Articular cartilage presents a mechanically sensitive tissue. Chondrocytes, the sole cell type residing in the tissue, perceive and react to physical cues as signals that significantly modulate their behavior. Hyaline cartilage is a connective tissue with ...

Neurogenesis redirects β-catenin from adherens junctions to the nucleus to promote axonal growth

Antonio Herrera Camacho

Here, we show that, in the developing spinal cord, after the early Wnt-mediated Tcf transcription activation that confers dorsal identity to neural stem cells, neurogenesis redirects beta-catenin from the adherens junctions to the nucleus to stimulate Tcfo ...

Molecular Regulation of Muscle Stem Cell Fate during Skeletal Muscle Regeneration and Aging

Sara Ancel

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are the primary source of myogenic progenitors during muscle repair and are essential for the long-term regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Following myofiber injury, MuSCs transition from a quiescent to an activated state, ...

Actuated 3D microgels for single cell mechanobiology

Christina Myra Tringides, Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Berna Ayse Özkale Edelmann

We present a new cell culture technology for large-scale mechanobiology studies capable of generating and applying optically controlled uniform compression on single cells in 3D. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are individually encapsulated inside an optical ...

Next Generation Bone Marrow Adiposity Researchers: Report From the 1st BMAS Summer School 2021

Rita Sarkis

The first International Summer School on Bone Marrow Adiposity was organized by members of Bone Marrow Adiposity Society and held virtually on September 6-8 2021. The goal of this meeting was to bring together young scientists interested in learning about ...

Mammalian adipogenesis regulator (Areg) cells use retinoic acid signalling to be non- and anti-adipogenic in age-dependent manner

Bart Deplancke, Pernille Yde Rainer, Radiana Ferrero, Julie Marie Russeil, Horia Hashimi, Magda Zachara, Daniel Alpern, Maria Litovchenko

Adipose stem and precursor cells (ASPCs) give rise to adipocytes and determine the composition and plasticity of adipose tissue. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that ASPCs partition into at least three distinct cell subpopulations, including th ...

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, ...

Postnatal expansion of mesenteric lymph node stromal cells towards reticular and CD34(+) stromal cell subsets

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Wanze Chen, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Maria Litovchenko, Marjan Biocanin, Jörn Pezoldt, Guido Van Mierlo

Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (LN) provide the framework to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. Based on the transcriptional signatures established by our previous work, the composition and immunomodulatory function of LN stromal cells (SC) v ...

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 ...

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 ...
