Pretreatment of Aged Mice with Retinoic Acid Supports Alveolar Regeneration via Upregulation of Reciprocal PDGFA Signaling

In vitro organoids generated from epithelial cells of mouse or patient with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis co-cultured with young, aged or retinoic acid-pretreated murine fibroblasts were used to test potential targets.

Epithelium-Derived Indian Hedgehog Restricts Stromal Expression of ErbB Family Members That Drive Colonic Tumor Cell Proliferation

Scientists found that recombinant EREG, BTC, and NRG1 but not Lgr5 ligand R-Spondin promoted growth and proliferation of Apc double mutant colonic organoids.

Re-Expression of REG Family and DUOXs Genes in CRC Organoids by Co-Culturing With CAFs

Researchers found that the expression levels of several genes, which were highly expressed in original colorectal carcinoma tissues, were downregulated in organoids but re-expressed in organoids by co-culturing with cancer-associated fibroblasts.

Thrombospondin 4/Integrin α2/HSF1 Axis Promotes Proliferation and Cancer Stem-Like Traits of Gallbladder Cancer by Enhancing Reciprocal Crosstalk between Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts and Tumor Cells

Peritumoral fibroblasts and cancer-associated fibroblasts were extracted from gallbladder cancer (GBC) tissues. Thrombospondin expression in GBC was screened by RT-qPCR.

Dermal Fibroblasts Cultured from Donors with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Retain an Epigenetic Memory Associated with Poor Wound Healing Responses

Dermal fibroblasts (DF) are critical for effective wound healing, so the authors sought to establish whether there were any differences in DF cultured from Type 2 diabetes mellitus donors or those without diabetes.
