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

Advanced 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 ...

An Accessible Microfluidic Platform for the Generation of Polarized Brain Organoids

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents an accessible double‐gradient microfluidic device that enables controlled morphogen delivery and spatially polarized differentiation in brain organoids. By integrating a pump‐free design and stable fabrication method, the platform generates dorsal–ventral neuronal asymmetry, offering a reproducible and versatile approach to model ...

Cis‐ and Trans‐Regulatory Factors Independently Shape Phenotypic Heterogeneity of Retinitis Pigmentosa

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A zebrafish model carrying an identical human RHO S334X allele reveals two independent genetic layers shaping retinitis pigmentosa (RP) severity: a protective 3‐bp cis‐regulatory insertion that attenuates transgene expression, and a dominant trans‐acting modifier that restores a severe phenotype.

Control of Patterns of Corneal Innervation by Pax6 [PDF]

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2009
Corneal nerves play essential roles in maintaining the ocular surface through provision of neurotrophic support, but genetic control of corneal innervation is poorly understood. The possibility of a neurotrophic failure in ocular surface disease associated with heterozygosity at the Pax6 locus (aniridia-related keratopathy [ARK]) was investigated ...

Gasdermin D‐Mediated Release of IL‐33 Results in Fetal Brain Developmental Abnormalities During Maternal Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Under colitis, Gsdmd mediates the release of IL‐33 from the epithelium of pregnant mice. IL‐33 can cross the placenta and enhance the proliferative capacity of neural stem cells, ultimately resulting in behavioral deficits in the offspring. Excessive pyroptosis in the colonic epithelium also triggers the translocation of LPS, which in turn increases ...

The Optimedin Gene Is a Downstream Target of Pax6 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
The Optimedin gene, also known as Olfactomedin 3, encodes an olfactomedin domain-containing protein. There are two major splice variants of the Optimedin mRNA, Optimedin A and Optimedin B, transcribed from different promoters. The expression pattern of the Optimedin A variant in the eye and brain overlaps with that for Pax6, which encodes a protein ...

Diversity of clinical phenotypes in a cohort of Han Chinese patients with PAX6 variants

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
The PAX6 gene plays an important role in ocular development. Mutations of the PAX6 gene may result in a series of ocular abnormalities, including congenital aniridia, anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD), progressive corneal opacification, glaucoma, and ...

Development of a Human 3D Immune‐Competent Neurovascular Model Enabling Time‐Resolved Monitoring of Neuroinflammatory Dynamics and Neuroimmune Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neuroinflammation alters blood–brain barrier integrity and contributes to neurological disorders, yet existing models lack human immune complexity. This study presents a 3D, immune‐responsive platform that reconstructs key neurovascular components and enables real‐time monitoring.

Pax6 Is a Key Component of Regulated Glucagon Secretion [PDF]

Endocrinology, 2012
The Pax6 transcription factor is crucial for pancreatic α-cells. Indeed, Pax6-deficient mouse models are characterized by markedly altered α-cell differentiation. Our objective was to investigate the role of Pax6 in glucagon secretion process. We used a Pax6-deficient model in rat primary enriched-α cells with specific small interfering RNA leading to ...

Effect of Pulsed Low-Level Lasers on Adult versus Neonatal Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells: An in-vitro Study

Journal of Ophthalmic & Vision Research
Purpose: To investigate the short-term effects of low-level lasers (LLLs; also known as low-power laser therapy) on the structure, genetic, and phenotype of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells from both adult and neonatal sources ...
