Whole genome doubling promotes tumorigenesis through loss of chromatin segregation and compartment repositioning

Whole genome doubling (WGD) events are drivers of genetic innovation across vertebrate evolution. While generally detrimental to mammalian organisms, WGDs are crucial in the development of various plants and fungi, as well as for the terminal differentiati ...

Generation of Human iPSC-Derived Neurons on Nanowire Arrays Featuring Varying Lengths, Pitches, and Diameters

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Wonjong Kim

Nanowire (NW) arrays interfaced with biological cells have been demonstrated to be potent tools for advanced applications such as sensing, stimulation, or drug delivery. Many implementations, however, have so far only been studied with rather robust basic ...

Analysis of human metabolism by reducing the complexity of the genome-scale models using redHUMAN

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Maria Masid Barcon

Altered metabolism is associated with many human diseases. Human genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) were reconstructed within systems biology to study the biochemistry occurring in human cells. However, the complexity of these networks hinders a consiste ...

A single-cell-based identification and characterisation of Aregs, an inhibitory subpopulation of adipose stem and precursor cells

Magda Zachara

Adipose tissue is an essential element in energy conservation mechanisms. Its unique plasticity is driven by the ability of adipocytes to accumulate and liberate lipids as a function of the energetic status of the organism. Given the recent rise in the glo ...

Dynamic regulation of chromatin accessibility by pluripotency transcription factors across the cell cycle

Bart Deplancke, David Michael Suter, Cédric Deluz, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho, Torgil Elias Friman, Subashika Govindan

The pioneer activity of transcription factors allows for opening of inaccessible regulatory elements and has been extensively studied in the context of cellular differentiation and reprogramming. In contrast, the function of pioneer activity in self-renewi ...

Hominoid-Specific Transposable Elements and KZFPs Facilitate Human Embryonic Genome Activation and Control Transcription in Naive Human ESCs

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Alexandre Coudray, Julien Paul André Pontis, Julien Duc

Expansion of transposable elements (TEs) coincides with evolutionary shifts in gene expression. TEs frequently harbor binding sites for transcriptional regulators, thus enabling coordinated genome-wide activation of species- and context-specific gene expre ...

Oestrogen receptor alpha AF-1 and AF-2 domains have cell population-specific functions in the mammary epithelium

Cathrin Brisken, Georgios Sflomos, Ayyakkannu Ayyanan, Valentina Scabia, Patrik Aouad, Dalya Ataca, Stéphanie Cagnet

Oestrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) is a transcription factor with ligand-independent and ligand-dependent activation functions (AF)-1 and -2. Oestrogens control postnatal mammary gland development acting on a subset of mammary epithelial cells (MECs), ter ...

Notch-Induced miR-708 Antagonizes Satellite Cell Migration and Maintains Quiescence

Joao Pedro Bronze de Firmino

Critical features of stem cells include anchoring within a niche and activation upon injury. Notch signaling maintains skeletal muscle satellite (stem) cell quiescence by inhibiting differentiation and inducing expression of extracellular components of the ...

Quantitative analysis of SOX2 and OCT4 expression in pluripotency and differentiation

Daniel Strebinger

Embryonic stem (ES) cells have the capacity to give rise to all cell types of the adult organism and can be used as a model to study early cell fate decisions as they closely recapitulate in vivo events. The M and G1 phases have been suggested to be the ke ...

From the early steps of whisker formation to its evolutionary disappearance: the (curious) case of Prdm1 and its regulation

Pierluigi Giuseppe Manti

Whiskers (also known as vibrissae) are sensory organs that are thought to have first appeared in Therapsida, a group of synapsids that includes mammals and evolutionary ancestors like the Thrinaxodon(1). They are highly conserved among mammals to the notab ...
