Oligodendrogenesis and myelination tracing in a CRISPR/Cas9-engineered brain microphysiological system

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionOligodendrocytes (OLs) are the myelin-forming cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Although OLs can be differentiated from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), the in vitro modeling of axon myelination in human cells remains ...

Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) Reveals Novel Transcription Factors Associated With Bisphenol A Dose-Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Despite Bisphenol-A (BPA) being subject to extensive study, a thorough understanding of molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here we show that using weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA), which takes advantage of a graph theoretical approach

Deconvoluting gene and environment interactions to develop an “epigenetic score meter” of disease

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023
Human health is determined both by genetics (G) and environment (E). This is clearly illustrated in groups of individuals who are exposed to the same environmental factor showing differential responses.

Suitability of 3D human brain spheroid models to distinguish toxic effects of gold and poly-lactic acid nanoparticles to assess biocompatibility for brain drug delivery

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2019
Background The blood brain barrier (BBB) is the bottleneck of brain-targeted drug development. Due to their physico-chemical properties, nanoparticles (NP) can cross the BBB and accumulate in different areas of the central nervous system (CNS), thus are ...
