Precancerous liver diseases do not cause increased mutagenesis in liver stem cells

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Nguyen et al. used liver organoid cultures to identify all somatic mutations in individual stem cells from patients with common liver diseases that confer risk of cancer.

Pulmonary alveolar type I cell population consists of two distinct subtypes that differ in cell fate. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pulmonary alveolar type I (AT1) cells cover more than 95% of alveolar surface and are essential for the air-blood barrier function of lungs. AT1 cells have been shown to retain developmental plasticity during alveolar regeneration.

Liver ductal organoids reconstruct intrahepatic biliary trees in decellularized liver grafts [PDF]

open access: yesBiomaterials, 2021
AbstractThree-dimensional scaffolds decellularized from native organs are a promising technique to establish engineered liver grafts and overcome the current shortage of donor organs. However, limited sources of bile duct cells and inappropriate cell distribution in bioengineered liver grafts have hindered their practical application.

Bioengineering liver microtissues for modeling non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

open access: yesEXCLI Journal : Experimental and Clinical Sciences, 2023
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the world’s most common chronic liver disease. However, due to the lack of reliable in vitro NAFLD models, drug development studies have faced many limitations, and there is no food and drug ...

Impact of sitagliptin on endometrial mesenchymal stem-like progenitor cells : a randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled feasibility trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is associated with the loss of endometrial mesenchymal stem-like progenitor cells (eMSC). DPP4 inhibitors may increase homing and engraftment of bone marrow-derived cells to sites of tissue injury.

Droplet-engineered organoids recapitulate parental tissue transcriptome with inter-organoid homogeneity and inter-tumor cell heterogeneity

open access: yesFundamental Research
Organoids are expected to function as effective human organ models for precision cancer studies and drug development. Currently, primary tissue-derived organoids, termed non-engineered organoids (NEOs), are produced by manual pipetting or liquid handling

Generation of Fibrotic Liver Organoids Using Hepatocytes, Primary Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells, Hepatic Stellate Cells, and Macrophages

open access: yesCells, 2023
Liver organoids generated with single or multiple cell types have been used to investigate liver fibrosis development, toxicity, pathogenesis, and drug screening.

Bioengineered Organoids Offer New Possibilities for Liver Cancer Studies: A Review of Key Milestones and Challenges

open access: yesBioengineering
Hepatic cancer is widely regarded as the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite recent advances in treatment options, the prognosis of liver cancer remains poor.

Control of intestinal stem cell function and proliferation by mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Most differentiated cells convert glucose to pyruvate in the cytosol through glycolysis, followed by pyruvate oxidation in the mitochondria. These processes are linked by the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), which is required for efficient ...

Liver organoids reproduce alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related liver disease [PDF]

open access: yesHepatology International, 2019
Abstract Background and aims Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a product of SERPINA1 gene mainly expressed by hepatocytes. Clinically relevant mutations in the SERPINA1 gene, such as Z (Glu342Lys), results in an expression of misfolded AAT protein having high propensity to polymerize, accumulate in hepatocytes and thus to ...
