Advances in the pathogenesis of Rett syndrome using cell models

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 532-541, December 2022., 2022
Most Rett syndrome (RTT) patients are affected by the MECP2 gene mutations. And the mutations of MECP2 have wide effects on different cell types of nervous system, including neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia, which always combined together to lead to abnormalities in the whole neural network.

Theoretical modelling discriminates the stochastic and deterministic hypothesis of cell reprogramming [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
How to induce differentiated cells into pluripotent cells has elicited researchers' interests for a long time since pluripotent stem cells are able to offer remarkable potential in numerous subfields of biological research. However, the nature of cell reprogramming, especially the mechanisms still remain elusive for the sake of most protocols of ...

An introduction to the mathematical modelling of iPSCs [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The aim of this chapter is to convey the importance and usefulness of mathematical modelling as a tool to achieve a deeper understanding of stem cell biology. We introduce key mathematical concepts (random walk theory, differential equations and agent-based modelling) which form the basis of current descriptions of induced pluripotent stem cells.

Enhancing Form Stability: Shrink‐Resistant Hydrogels Made of Interpenetrating Networks of Recombinant Spider Silk and Collagen‐I

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A shrinkage‐resistant hydrogel is developed to confer post‐fabrication shape fidelity. The hydrogel, based on recombinant spider silk protein eADF4(C16)‐RGD and collagen‐I, exhibits tunable mechanical properties and shrink‐resistance in the presence of fibroblasts as well as muscle cells.

Generation of hiPSC lines with fusion tagged thyroid hormone receptor α isoforms to study isoform-specific actions of TRα1 and TRα2

Stem Cell Research
The role of the nuclear thyroid hormone receptor TRα1 as a mediator of thyroid hormone action on target gene expression is well understood. However, the function of the TRα2 splicing isoform, which does not bind thyroid hormones, remains unexplored.

Transcriptional profiling reveals fundamental differences in iPS-derived progenitors of endothelial cells (PECs) versus adult circulating EPCs [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
There are a number of different stem cell sources that have the potential to be used as therapeutics in vascular degenerative diseases. On the one hand, there are so called endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are typically derived from adult blood. They carry the marker CD34, but the true nature and definition of EPCs is still controversial.

Aqueous Synthesis of Poly(ethylene glycol)‐Amide‐Norbornene‐Carboxylate for Modular Hydrogel Crosslinking

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
An all aqueous synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol)‐amide‐norbornene‐carboxylate (PEGaNBCA) is developed via reacting carbic anhydride with amino‐terminated PEG. PEGaNBCA is readily crosslinked into hydrogels by click chemistries. PEGaNBCA crosslinked thiol‐norbornene hydrogels are hydrolytically stable but can be rendered hydrolytically labile through ...

Generation of THRB-GS(E125G_G126S) and THRB-KO human iPSC lines to study noncanonical thyroid hormone signalling

Stem Cell Research
THRB is a nuclear receptor, regulating gene expression dependent on thyroid hormone (TH) binding. The same receptor mediates signaling pathway activation in the cytosol.
