Generation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Alveolar Type II In Vitro Model to Study Influenza A Virus Infection and Drug Treatments

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Patient‐specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into alveolar type II cells (iAT2s), expanded as 3D alveolospheres, and grown at physiologically relevant air–liquid interface (ALI). This study shows for the first time the infectability of iAT2s by the influenza A virus (IAV) and proves their responsiveness to the well ...

Stromal control of oncogenic traits expressed in response to the overexpression of GLI2, a pleiotropic oncogene. [PDF]

, 2009
Hedgehog signaling is often activated in tumors, yet it remains unclear how GLI2, a transcription factor activated by this pathway, acts as an oncogene. We show that GLI2 is a pleiotropic oncogene.

The aberrant expression of the mesenchymal variant of FGFR2 in the epithelial context inhibits autophagy [PDF]

, 2019
Signaling of the epithelial splice variant of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2b) triggers both differentiation and autophagy, while the aberrant expression of the mesenchymal FGFR2c isoform in epithelial cells induces impaired differentiation ...

The ability of the Lab4 probiotic consortium to impact upon the functionality of serum deprived human keratinocytes in vitro

Frontiers in Microbiomes
IntroductionDysfunction of keratinocytes contributes to a weakened skin barrier and impaired wound healing capability. Evidence suggests that probiotic supplementation can lead to improved skin function in vitro and in vivo. The Lab4 probiotic consortium

A Novel Microfluidic System for 3D Epidermis and Full‐Thickness Skin Growth for Nanoparticle Safety Assessment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a novel, dynamically perfused, configurable microfluidic system for epidermis‐only (E and full‐thickness skin (FT SoC) growth, emulating human skin structure and barrier function. Upon TiO2 nanoparticle exposure, the system reveals compromised barrier integrity, reduced metabolic activity, increased permeability, and chemokine‐driven
