Augmenting and Assaying Nav1.1 Protein Quantity for Dravet Syndrome Therapy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dravet Syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy predominantly caused by heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in SCN1A, which encodes Nav1.1. Conserved upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in SCN1A were validated to regulate translation in reporter assays, demonstrating the therapeutic viability of increasing Nav1.1 from ...

The TRF1 telomere protein is essential for the generation and maintenance of iPS cells and marks both pluripotent and adult stem cells [PDF]

, 2013
Englisch: Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures that protect the chromosomal ends from being recognized by DNA repair mechanisms as DNA double strand breaks. The Telomeric DNA is bound by various proteins that force the whole structure to fold in the so-

Microenvironmental Reprogramming by 3D Anisotropic Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Induces Nuclear Remodeling and Epigenetic Maturation of Chemically Induced Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

Charting Morphotoxicity With Complementary Embryo Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Three human embryo models of the peri‐implantation stages are exposed to a library of compounds. The (toxic) effects of the compounds are analyzed through automated image analysis pipelines. By evaluating the differential responses of the embryo models, this study underscores the importance of testing complementary embryo models to achieve robust and ...

Avian pluripotent stem cells

Mechanisms of Development, 2004
Pluripotent embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of proliferation and self-renewal and have the capacity to differentiate into all somatic cell types and the germ line. They provide an in vitro model of early embryonic differentiation and are a useful means for targeted manipulation of the genome.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Patient‐Derived 3D Heart‐On‐a‐Chip Model of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Embedded Bead‐Based Mapping of Tissue Contractility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.

c-Jun inhibition mitigates chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity in iPSC-derived sensory neurons

Cell Death Discovery
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) affects up to two-thirds of cancer patients undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy. Here, we used human iPSC-derived sensory neurons (iPSC-DSN) to model CIPN in vitro.

Correction of the Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome-causing SLC16A2 mutation G401R in a patient derived hiPSC line

Stem Cell Research
The X-linked Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS) is a genetic disorder characterized by severe psychomotor impairment, resulting from mutations in the SLC16A2 gene, which encodes the thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 (monocarboxylate transporter 8 ...
