Paracrine Activin-A signaling promotes melanoma growth and metastasis through immune evasion

bioRxiv, 2017
The secreted growth factor Activin-A of the TGFβ family and its receptors can promote or inhibit several cancer hallmarks including tumor cell proliferation and differentiation, vascularization, lymphangiogenesis and inflammation.

A Systemic Selective Modified mRNA Delivery Platform for Preventing Chemotherapy‐Induced Cardiotoxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In Yoo and Mainkar et al., we present a minimally invasive, CM‐selective modRNA delivery system encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles for intravenous (IV) administration. This platform enables selective cardiac translation of therapeutic modRNA but suppresses expression in off‐target tissues, including tumors.

Activin-A Induces Fewer, but Larger Osteoclasts From Monocytes in Both Healthy Controls and Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva Patients

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disease characterized by heterotopic ossification (HO) that occurs in muscle tissue, tendons, and ligaments.

Endogenous Wnt signalling in human embryonic stem cells generates an equilibrium of distinct lineage-specified progenitors. [PDF]

, 2012
The pluripotent nature of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) makes them convenient for deriving therapeutically relevant cells. Here we show using Wnt reporter hESC lines that the cells are heterogeneous with respect to endogenous Wnt signalling activity.

Activin A is increased in the nucleus accumbens following a cocaine binge

Scientific Reports, 2017
Drug addiction is a long-lasting disease characterized by compulsive drug intake mediated in part by neuronal and biological adaptations in key brain areas, such as the nucleus accumbens (NAc).

Development of Endogenous Protein Probes for Characterizing Surface Proteins and Cellular Interactors of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The proximity labeling enzyme APEX2 is displayed on extracellular vesicle (EV) surfaces via genetic fusion with EV‐sorting scaffolds, enabling in situ biotinylation of native surface proteins, adsorbed corona components, and interacting cellular proteins.

Modeling human trophoblast, the placental epithelium at the maternal fetal interface. [PDF]

, 2020
Appropriate human trophoblast lineage specification and differentiation is crucial for the establishment of normal placentation and maintenance of pregnancy. However, due to the lack of proper modeling systems, the molecular mechanisms of these processes

Selenoprotein H Functions as a PPARα Coactivator to Link Selenium Homeostasis to Hepatic Lipid Metabolism and Protect against Steatohepatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our study identifies selenium deficiency as a hallmark of MASH pathogenesis. Dietary selenium supplementation enhances hepatic fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and attenuates MASH progression by activating the PPARα pathway via selenoprotein H (SELENOH). This selenium‐SELENOH‐PPARα nexus redefines the functional scope of selenoproteins, moving from redox ...

Differentiation of definitive endoderm from human induced pluripotent stem cells on hMSCs feeder in a defined medium [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The Definitive Endoderm (DE) differentiation using the undefined media and non-human feeders can cause contaminations in the generated cells for therapeutic applications.

Modulation of Network Plasticity Opens Novel Therapeutic Possibilities in Cancer, Diabetes, and Neurodegeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plasticity changes of molecular networks form a cellular learning process. Signaling network plasticity promotes cancer, metastasis, and drug resistance development. 55 plasticity‐related cancer drug targets are listed (20 having already approved drugs, 9 investigational drugs, and 26 being drug target candidates).
