Marker bacterial Neor gene was transduced by retroviral gene transfer into stromal precursor cells making up the hematopoietic microenvironment in murine long-term bone marrow cultures (LTBMC). Cultures were infected six times during the first 3 weeks of cultivation. At 4 weeks, the adherent cell layers (ACLs) were implanted under the renal capsule of syngeneic unirradiated and irradiated mice. Cells from newly formed ectopic foci were explanted into secondary LTBMC. ACLs containing the marker gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction. About 74% of stromal cells in ACLs contained Neor gene. The possibility of stable gene transduction into stromal precursor cells competent to transfer the hematopoietic microenvironment was established.

Epiregulin plays a role in a range of biological activities including malignancies. This study aims to investigate the potential contribution of epiregulin to bone cell differentiation and bone homeostasis. The data showed that epiregulin expression was upregulated during osteogenesis but downregulated during adipogenesis.

Stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1 (STING1), as an innate immune adaptor protein that mediates DNA sensing, has attracted tremendous biomedical interest. However, several recent researches have revealed the key role of STING1 in regulating the metabolic pathway. Here, we investigated its role in adipocyte differentiation.

The applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) are leading to significant advances in cancer research, particularly in analysing histopathology images for prognostic and treatment-predictive insights. However, effective translation of these computational methods requires computational researchers to have at least a basic understanding of histopathology. In this work, we aim to bridge that gap by introducing essential histopathology concepts to support AI developers in their research.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) are integral components of the bone marrow microenvironment, playing a crucial role in supporting hematopoiesis. Recent studies have investigated the potential involvement of BM-MSCs in the pathophysiology of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the exact contribution of BM-MSCs to leukemia progression remains unclear because of conflicting findings and limited characterization.

Introduction: The current understanding of colorectal carcinogenesis is based on the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, where genetics, intestinal microbiota changes and local immunity shifts seem to play the key roles. Despite the emerging evidence of dysbiotic intestinal state and immune-cell infiltration changes in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma, early and advanced adenoma as precursors of colorectal cancer, and carcinoma as the following progression, are rather less studied. The newly colon-site adapted AI-based analysis of immune infiltrates is able to predict long-term outcomes of colon carcinoma.
