Adaptive-like CAR-iPSC-CD4⁺ T cells outperform CD8⁺ counterparts in sustained ALL control

Inflammation and Regeneration
Background Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)–derived T cells offer a renewable source for off-the-shelf immunotherapy. With the advent of the artificial thymic organoid (ATO) method, the in vitro differentiation of CD4+ T cells from iPSCs has also ...

RNA Sequencing and Targeted Knockdown Reveal miR-142a-5p as a Driver of Retinal Degeneration in rd1 Mice

Biology
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), an inherited retinal disorder, leads to progressive photoreceptor degeneration and irreversible blindness, with limited treatment options available. Emerging evidence implicates microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis of retinal

Retinoic acid regulates erythropoietin production cooperatively with hypoxia-inducible factors in human iPSC-derived erythropoietin-producing cells

Scientific Reports, 2021
Erythropoietin (EPO) is a crucial hormone for erythropoiesis and produced by adult kidneys. Insufficient EPO production in chronic kidney disease (CKD) can cause renal anemia.

Ghrelin and cell differentiation [PDF]

Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2008
Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, is a gastric hormone that has been found to have a wide variety of biological functions. This review summarizes our current understanding of the effects of ghrelin on cell differentiation and tissue development, with an emphasis on the lineage determination of mesenchymal stem ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Single-molecule imaging of transcription dynamics, RNA localization and fate in human T cells

The EMBO Journal
T cells are critical effector cells counteracting infections and malignancies. To achieve this, they produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IFN-γ and TNF.

Transcription shapes DNA replication initiation to preserve genome integrity

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Early DNA replication occurs within actively transcribed chromatin compartments in mammalian cells, raising the immediate question of how early DNA replication coordinates with transcription to avoid collisions and DNA damage.

The properties of nerve cell precursors in hydra [PDF]

, 1986
Two signals, the head activator and an injury stimulus, control differentiation of nerve cells from uncommitted stem cells in hydra [Th. Holstein, H. C. Schaller, and C. N. David, (1986) Dev. Biol. 115, 9–17].

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
