Modeling human trophoblast, the placental epithelium at the maternal fetal interface. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Appropriate human trophoblast lineage specification and differentiation is crucial for the establishment of normal placentation and maintenance of pregnancy. However, due to the lack of proper modeling systems, the molecular mechanisms of these processes

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Advances in liver organoids: replicating hepatic complexity for toxicity assessment and disease modeling

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy
The lack of in vivo accurate human liver models hinders the investigation of liver-related diseases, injuries, and drug-related toxicity, posing challenges for both basic research and clinical applications.

Buckling without bending: a new paradigm in morphogenesis

open access: yes, 2018
A curious feature of organ and organoid morphogenesis is that in certain cases, spatial oscillations in the thickness of the growing "film" are out-of-phase with the deformation of the slower-growing "substrate," while in other cases, the oscillations ...

RNA-sequencing of single cholangiocyte-derived organoids reveals high organoid-to organoid variability

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2022
Over the last decades, organoids have been established from most of the tissue-resident stem and iPS cells. They hold great promise for our understanding of mammalian organ development, but also for the study of disease or even personalised medicine. In recent years, several reports hinted at intraculture organoid variability, but a systematic analysis

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Bone-organ axes: bidirectional crosstalk

open access: yesMilitary Medical Research
In addition to its recognized role in providing structural support, bone plays a crucial role in maintaining the functionality and balance of various organs by secreting specific cytokines (also known as osteokines).

The Application and Challenges of Brain Organoids in Exploring the Mechanism of Arbovirus Infection

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Arboviruses, transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods, are responsible for significant human and animal diseases, including fever, hemorrhagic fever, and encephalitis, posing a serious threat to global public health.

Modeling inflammation and oxidative stress in gastrointestinal disease development using novel organotypic culture systems. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus (BE), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are common human gastrointestinal diseases that share inflammation as a key

Bioengineered tumor organoids

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Biomedical Engineering, 2020
Recent advances in biofabrication technologies, such as cell culture systems, and biomaterials have led to the development of three-dimensional (3D) cell culture platforms, such as tumor organoids. Tumor organoids are more physiologically accurate to the in vivo system, which they are intended to model, compared with traditional 2D cancer cell culture ...
