Bioengineering approaches to emulate the stem cell niche

Sylke Höhnel

Stem cell therapies hold tremendous potential for tissue and organ regeneration. Yet, there remains significant need for better ex vivo culture and manipulation methods. On the one hand, many tissue-specific stem cells cannot be propagated without causing ...

In vitro Fate Mapping of Single Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Aline Roch

The in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for clinical applications is hampered by a rapid loss of HSC blood reconstitution capability in culture. While these rare cells can be stimulated to massively proliferate, cell divisions mostly resul ...

EPFL2014

The long-term risk of malignancy associated with stem cell therapies is a significant concern in the clinical application of this exciting technology. We report a cancer-selective strategy to enhance the safety of stem cell therapies. Briefly, using a cell ...

TRIM28 repression of retrotransposon-based enhancers is necessary to preserve transcriptional dynamics in embryonic stem cells

Didier Trono, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Andrea Corsinotti, Helen Mary Rowe, Johan Jakobsson

TRIM28 is critical for the silencing of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Here, we reveal that an essential impact of this process is the protection of cellular gene expression in early embryos from perturbation by cis-acting act ...

Global and stage specific patterns of krüppel-associated-box zinc finger protein gene expression in murine early embryonic cells

Didier Trono, Bart Deplancke, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Michaël Imbeault, Andrea Corsinotti, Helen Mary Rowe, Yoann Mouscaz

Highly coordinated transcription networks orchestrate the self-renewal of pluripotent stem cell and the earliest steps of mammalian development. KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins represent the largest group of transcription factors encoded by the genome ...

Since stem cells have the unique ability to produce more of themselves (i.e. to "self-renew") and to generate specialized tissue cells, they are an ideal source of cells for regenerative medicine and in vitro tissue models. In order to fully exploit this p ...

The Shc family of adaptor proteins are crucial mediators of a plethora of receptors such as the tyrosine kinase receptors, cytokine receptors, and integrins that drive signaling pathways governing proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Here, we rep ...

Development of a microfluidic on-chip reverse transcription module for the analysis of hematopoietic single stem cells

Viktoria Stepanova

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have a unique ability to self-renew and produce differentiated progeny throughout the entire life of the human body. However, present clinical use of HSCs in regenerative medicine is largely hindered by our limited understan ...

Biomolecule gradients on surface initiated graft polymers

Ruben Casanova

Controlling the fate of stem cells in vitro is a key challenge towards using these cells in clinical applications. Adult stem cells (ASC) are known to reside in complex microenvironments called niches in vivo. These niches regulate stem cell fate providing ...

Stem cells capacity to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types, endow them with great promises in regenerative medicine. It is believed that the stem cells microenvironment plays a significant role in regulating their fate. However, with e ...
