Transient PP2A inhibition alleviates normal tissue stem cell susceptibility to cell death during radiotherapy [PDF]
Unintended outcomes of cancer therapy include ionizing radiation (IR)-induced stem cell depletion, diminished regenerative capacity, and accelerated aging.

Paneth Cells Are a Constitutive Source of IL-10 in Mouse Small Intestinal Organoids
The healthy gut masks a dynamic balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory activities, largely due to microbial factors in the lumen. IL-10 is vital among the anti-inflammatory mediators, yet confirming constitutive versus stimulated secretion in any ...

Inflammation mobilizes copper metabolism to promote colon tumorigenesis via an IL-17-STEAP4-XIAP axis. [PDF]
Copper levels are known to be elevated in inflamed and malignant tissues. But the mechanism underlying this selective enrichment has been elusive. In this study, we report a axis by which inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-17, drive cellular copper ...

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing of hESC-Derived 3D Retinal Organoids Reveals Novel Genes Regulating RPC Commitment in Early Human Retinogenesis. [PDF]
The development of the mammalian retina is a complicated process involving the generation of distinct types of neurons from retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) in a spatiotemporal-specific manner.

Integrating 3D Bioprinting with Organoid Technology-Based Breast Cancer Models for Drug Evaluation
Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. Conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture models and animal studies often fail to accurately recapitulate the complex tumor microenvironment and

Rho-A prenylation and signaling link epithelial homeostasis to intestinal inflammation [PDF]
Although defects in intestinal barrier function are discussed as a key pathogenic factor in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), the molecular pathways driving disease-specific alterations of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are largely ...

AI-Enhanced Patient-Derived Cancer Organoids: Integrating Machine Learning for Precision Oncology
Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are three-dimensional (3D) cultures that recapitulate tumor histology, genetics, and cellular heterogeneity, providing physiologically relevant preclinical models ...

DNA replication licensing in stem cells: Gatekeeping the commitment to proliferation. [PDF]
Carroll et al. (2018. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201708023) developed a method to assess DNA replication licensing in tissues. They show that intestinal stem cells within wild-type crypts, but not in crypts with cancer-causing mutations ...
