Skeletal muscle is one of the most dynamic organs in the human body, which has a vigorous potential to regenerate and adapt to environmental changes. Depending on environments, skeletal muscle enables essential life activities to survive by controlling mov ...

EPFL2021

Yes-associated protein (YAP) regulates numerous cellular homeostasis processes and malignant transformation. We found that YAP influences ZO-1-mediated cell migration using E-cadherin-restored EC96 cells derived from gastric malignant AGS cells. Ectopic ex ...

Cells are promising as carriers that can enhance the delivery of nanomedicines. Cells that carry nanomedicinal cargo, either immobilized on the cell surface or internalized, can allow for highly specific delivery and can enable the transport of nanomedicin ...

AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021

Blood cells called myeloid cells can facilitate metastasis - the spread of a tumour to distant organs. Taming these cells with drugs that alter the chemical structure of their DNA limits metastasis in mice. ...

Bioengineering the Human Muscle Stem-Cell Niche for Therapeutic Applications

Omid Mashinchian

In spite of decades of research, no feasible method for obtaining sufficient numbers of uncommitted muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for therapy of degenerative muscle diseases exists. One of the most fundamental problems associated with stem cell therapy of musc ...

Measurement of Mitochondrial Mass and Membrane Potential in Hematopoietic Stem Cells and T-cells by Flow Cytometry

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, George Coukos, Mukul Girotra, Nicola Vannini, Alexandre Harari

A fine balance of quiescence, self-renewal, and differentiation is key to preserve the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) pool and maintain lifelong production of all mature blood cells. In recent years cellular metabolism has emerged as a crucial regulator of ...

Aging Disrupts Muscle Stem Cell Function by Impairing Matricellular WISP1 Secretion from Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitors

Patrick Descombes, Sylviane Métairon, Sonia Karaz, Omid Mashinchian, Guillaume Jacot, Laura Lukjanenko, Federico Sizzano, Sara Ancel

Research on age-related regenerative failure of skeletal muscle has extensively focused on the phenotypes of muscle stem cells (MuSCs). In contrast, the impact of aging on regulatory cells in the MuSC niche remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate ...

The ability to respond to fluctuations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell is a central aspect of mammalian physiology. This dynamic process depends on the coordinated action of transcriptional factors to promote the expression of genes encodi ...

Embryonic lateral inhibition as optical modes: An analytical framework for mesoscopic pattern formation

Andrew Charles Oates, Jose Negrete Jr

Cellular checkerboard patterns are observed at many stages of embryonic development. We study an analytically tractable model for lateral inhibition and show that the steady states are analogous to optical phonons at the Gamma point, which have the wave nu ...

Improving Efficacy and Safety of Agonistic Anti-CD40 Antibody Through Extracellular Matrix Affinity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Lambert Charles François Potin, Martina Damo, Jun Ishihara, Kazuto Fukunaga

CD40 is an immune costimulatory receptor expressed by antigen-presenting cells. Agonistic anti-CD40 antibodies have demonstrated considerable antitumor effects yet can also elicit serious treatment-related adverse events, such as liver toxicity, including ...
