Optogenetic Control of Apical Constriction Induces Synthetic Morphogenesis in Mammalian Tissues
The authors reported the development of OptoShroom3, an optogenetic tool that achieved fast spatiotemporal control of apical constriction in mammalian epithelia.
[Science Advances] Scientists used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to characterize a mouse model that mimicked human nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)–driven HCC, the MUP-uPA mouse fed a high-fat diet.
[JHEP Reports] Mouse liver perfusion was used to identify the effects of interstitial flow on hepatocyte proliferation ex vivo. Isolated hepatocytes in vitro were further exposed to varied shear stresses directly.
[JHEP Reports] Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) tumor microenvironment was recapitulated on a microfluidic three-channel chip using primary CCA cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and T cells isolated from CCA specimens.
