    Targeting UBE2T Potentiates Gemcitabine Efficacy in Pancreatic Cancer by Regulating Pyrimidine Metabolism and Replication Stress

    Organoids, patient-derived xenografts, and spontaneous pancreatic cancer mice were used to examine the efficacy of the combination of a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) inhibitor and gemcitabine.

    S100 Family Proteins Are Linked to Organoid Morphology and EMT in Pancreatic Cancer

    Scientists used a lineage-traced sporadic model of pancreatic cancer to generate a murine organoid biobank from primary and secondary tumors, including sublines that underwent partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and complete EMT.

    Chemical Conversion of Human Conventional PSCs to TSCs Following Transient Naive Gene Activation

    A modified chemical resetting protocol allowed for the fast and efficient conversion of conventional PSCs into trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), entailing shutdown of pluripotency genes and full activation of the trophoblast master regulators, without induction of amnion markers.

    Automating iPSC Generation To Enable Autologous Photoreceptor Cell Replacement Therapy

    As determined via immunostaining and confocal microscopy, iPSCs generated using the Cell X platform gave rise to retinal organoids that were indistinguishable from organoids derived from manually generated iPSCs.
