[Molecular Cancer] Investigators combine current knowledge on phenotypic plasticity, drug-tolerant states, and microenvironmental remodeling, with miRNA regulation.
[Molecular Oncology] Using an integrated approach involving clinical samples, in vivo xenograft models, transcriptomic analysis, and 3D functional assays, scientists showed that receptor-interacting protein kinase 4 (RIPK4) deletion significantly reduces pulmonary metastasis formation.
[ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering] Researchers aimed to differentiate hiPSCs into hair follicle epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells, and to subsequently purify and use them to generate hair follicle organoids.
[Molecular Cancer] CircKIAA1617 was identified through high-throughput RNA sequencing in ER-positive breast cancer (BC) . Gain- and loss-of-function assays were performed to evaluate the functions of circKIAA1617 in ER-positive BC cells.
[Stem Cell Reviews and Reports] The authors investigated the impact of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F (HNRNPF) on tumor stemness by regulating musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma (MAF) stability and cyclin B2 (CCNB2) transcription in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
[Cancer Science] The authors investigated how Wnt3a and/or Loxl2 knockdown affects liver CSCs and orthotopic tumor growth in mice, and explores the role of ferroptosis-related genes.
[Muscular Dystrophy Canada] Muscular Dystrophy Canada announced the launch of the Neuromuscular Disease Real-World eXperience Registry designed to reshape neuromuscular research, policy, and care.
[Tenaya Therapeutics, Inc.] Tenaya Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the US FDA has granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation to TN-401, Tenaya’s gene therapy candidate for the treatment of PKP2-associated arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
[Science Translational Medicine] Scientists performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing of cardiac tissues from 47 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and compared them with nonfailing donor and dilated cardiomyopathy hearts to investigate stage- and genotype-specific disease mechanisms.
