Embryonic Stem Cell ERK, AKT, Plus STAT3 Response Dynamics Combinatorics Are Heterogeneous but NANOG State Independent
Researchers generated mouse ESC lines simultaneously expressing fluorescent reporters for ERK, AKT, and STAT3 signaling activity, which all control pluripotency.
[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.
