Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

A novel human organotypic tumor invasion model of cell line MDA-MB-231 in Precision-Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) to reduce animal experiments in preclinical oncology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
S.134Cancer such as breast carcinoma is a major public health problem worldwide. The actual cause of death is the formation of metastasis which often occurs in the lung.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Multiparametric Material Functionality of Microtissue‐Based In Vitro Models as Alternatives to Animal Testing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2022
With the definition of the 3R principle by Russel and Burch in 1959, the search for an adequate substitute for animal testing has become one of the most important tasks and challenges of this time, not only from an ethical, but also from a scientific ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Prevalidation study for testing the toxic effects of inhalable substances (gases) on human lung cells using an air/liquid culture technique [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
To date, studies of inhalation toxicity of air contaminants are restricted to animal experiments, mainly because of difficulties in exposing cell cultures directly to these substances. The increasing demand for assessing inhalation toxicity hazards calls
