Recent advances in multicellular human liver models [PDF]
The liver is the most important metabolic organ in the body. Model systems that recapitulate the complex organ structure and cell composition of the human liver are insufficient to study liver biology and to test toxicity and efficacy during new drug ...

Epithelial cell specific Raptor is required for initiation of type 2 mucosal immunity in small intestine [PDF]
Intestinal tuft cells are one of 4 secretory cell linages in the small intestine and the source of IL-25, a critical initiator of the type 2 immune response to parasite infection. When Raptor, a critical scaffold protein for mammalian target of rapamycin

Fabrication of Dentin-Pulp-Like Organoids Using Dental-Pulp Stem Cells
We developed a novel dentin-pulp-like organoid. It has both stem-cell and odontoblast characteristics using a mesenchymal cell lineage of human dental-pulp stem cells (hDPSCs).

Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells: potential, challenges, and future perspectives [PDF]
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are responsible for the lifetime dynamics of hematopoiesis, as they are well known for their self-renewing ability and multipotency to differentiate into all types of blood cells, including both myeloid and

Development of an inducible mouse model of iRFP713 to track recombinase activity and tumour development in vivo [PDF]
While the use of bioluminescent proteins for molecular imaging is a powerful technology to further our understanding of complex processes, fluorescent labeling with visible light fluorescent proteins such as GFP and RFP suffers from poor tissue ...

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