Combined hepatocellular–cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC‐CCA) is a tumor consisting of a mixture of hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) components, but the mechanisms of development are poorly understood. The activation of Myc may be implicated in the formation of cHCC‐CCA and this work demonstrates for the first time that Myc ...

Forkhead box A2 (FOXA2) is a pioneer transcription factor, necessary for human development. Mutations in FOXA2 were recently associated with congenital hypopituitarism (CH); however, the pathogenic mechanism remains unknown.

Distinct Wnt-driven primitive streak-like populations reflect in vivo lineage precursors [PDF]
During gastrulation, epiblast cells are pluripotent and their fate is thought to be constrained principally by their position. Cell fate is progressively restricted by localised signalling cues from areas including the primitive streak.

Brachyury, Foxa2 and the cis-Regulatory Origins of the Notochord
A main challenge of modern biology is to understand how specific constellations of genes are activated to differentiate cells and give rise to distinct tissues. This study focuses on elucidating how gene expression is initiated in the notochord, an axial structure that provides support and patterning signals to embryos of humans and all other chordates.

Endoderm Generates Endothelial Cells during Liver Development
Organogenesis requires expansion of the embryonic vascular plexus that migrates into developing organs through a process called angiogenesis. Mesodermal progenitors are thought to derive endothelial cells (ECs) that contribute to both embryonic ...

Preferential Generation of 15-HETE-PE Induced by IL-13 Regulates Goblet Cell Differentiation in Human Airway Epithelial Cells [PDF]
Type 2–associated goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus hypersecretion are well known features of asthma. 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15LO1) is induced by the type 2 cytokine IL-13 in human airway epithelial cells (HAECs) in vitro and is increased in fresh asthmatic ...

Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with little improvement in patient survival rates in the past decade. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are gaining importance as possible biomarkers with prognostic potential.

Background Variations within the FOXA family have been studied for a putative contribution to the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and recently the minor T-allele of FOXA2 rs1209523 was reported to associate with decreased fasting plasma glucose levels in ...

Circadian Entrainment Triggers Maturation of Human In Vitro Islets
Stem-cell-derived tissues could transform disease research and therapy, yet most methods generate functionally immature products. We investigate how human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) differentiate into pancreatic islets in vitro by profiling DNA ...

The lncRNA DEANR1 Facilitates Human Endoderm Differentiation by Activating FOXA2 Expression
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse biological processes, including cell lineage specification. Here, we report transcriptome profiling of human endoderm and pancreatic cell lineages using purified cell populations.
