Flash Assembloids: A Rapid Biofabrication of a Platform for Modeling Early Glioblastoma Invasion at the Glioblastoma–Brain Organoid Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bioengineered assembloid (ASM) system combining glioblastoma (GBM) cells in oxidized alginate (OA) microgels with dorsal organoids (DOs). This model simulates brain tumor‐host interactions, revealing enhanced GBM invasion, altered gene expression, and aggressive infiltration patterns, demonstrating ASM as a valuable platform for ...

Bioengineered 3D hPSC‐Cholangiocyte Ducts With Physiological Signals for Biliary Disease Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Tian and colleagues generated a bioengineered bile duct from human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)‐derived intrahepatic cholangiocytes within a high‐throughput, 384‐well platform to systematically examine the influence of biliary physiological signals including fluid flow, stromal cells and bile acids, and models intrahepatic biliary disease progression ...

Is Captain Kirk a natural blonde? Do X-ray crystallographers dream of electron clouds? Comparing model-based inferences in science with fiction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Scientific models share one central characteristic with fiction: their relation to the physical world is ambiguous. It is often unclear whether an element in a model represents something in the world or presents an artifact of model building.

Molecular mimicry: Basis for autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yesIndian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2000
Structural similarity between a viral protein and a self-component can trigger an autoimmune response, which is the basis of molecular mimicry. Alternatively an invading virus can induce an inflammatory response which in turn can initiate an attack by hitherto dormant T cells on a specific self-antigen, a phenomenon which is referred to as Bystander ...

A New 3D Colon on a Chip to Decipher the Influence of Mechanical Forces on the Physiological Cellular Ecosystem

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
To dissect how mechanical forces influence intestinal physiology, we developed a stretchable 3D colon‐on‐chip that integrates tunable topography, stiffness and peristalsis‐like motion within a physiologically relevant microenvironment. We showed that stretching is a dominant factor governing epithelial behavior, markedly enhancing proliferation and ...

Unraveling vascular mechanisms in melanoma: roles of angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance

open access: yesCancer Biology & Medicine
Melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, remains a significant clinical challenge due to the high metastatic potential and drug resistance. This review explores the pivotal roles of angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry in melanoma progression ...
