Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

Metformin inhibits the growth of SCLC cells by inducing autophagy and apoptosis via the suppression of EGFR and AKT signalling

Scientific Reports
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a therapeutically challenging disease. Metformin, an effective agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, has been shown to have antitumour effects on many cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast

The lady vanishes: what's missing from the stem cell debate [PDF]

, 2006
Most opponents of somatic cell nuclear transfer and embryonic stem cell technologies base their arguments on the twin assertions that the embryo is either a human being or a potential human being, and that it is wrong to destroy a human being or ...

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

The neural crest‐associated gene ERRFI1 is involved in melanoma progression and resistance toward targeted therapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
ERRFI1, a neural crest (NC)‐associated gene, was upregulated in melanoma and negatively correlated with the expression of melanocytic differentiation markers and the susceptibility of melanoma cells toward BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi). Knocking down ERRFI1 significantly increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to BRAFi.

Characterisation of Embryonic Dermal Precursor Cells [PDF]

, 2018
Skin is an attractive organ for the acquisition of stem cells due to its accessibility, size and potential for autologous transplants. Research into skin development has implications for the isolation of stem cell populations, for example skin-derived ...

Preparation and characterization of renal cell peptides from fetal rats for their antitumor activity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study aimed to prepare renal cells (RCs) from fetal rats which were digested by enzymes. Candidate peptides RCPs were characterized by capillary HPLC and MS and their bioactivity was predicted using peptideranker. The predicted top 10 bioactive peptides were synthesized.

RIPK3 Suppresses the Progression of Spontaneous Intestinal Tumorigenesis

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
Receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIPK3), a member of the family of serine/threonine protein kinases, emerged as a critical regulator of necroptosis. Downregulated expression of RIPK3 is correlated with poor prognosis in multiple tumor types. Here, we show

Embryonic Stem Cell Research as an Ethical Issue: On the Emptiness of Symbolic Value [PDF]

, 2001
The debate over human embryonic stem cell research-scientific and clinical prospects as well as ethical implications-became front-page news only after two teams of university researchers reported in November 1998 that they had isolated and cultured human
