AI Article Synopsis

  • Aggregating brain cell cultures are 3D cultures made from embryonal rat brain cells.
  • After 3-4 weeks of continuous agitation, these cultures develop structures and functions similar to real brain tissue.
  • Stopping the agitation temporarily causes negative effects, similar to what happens in a brain experiencing ischemia, making this system a useful model for studying ischemia-related brain issues.

Article Abstract

Aggregating brain cell cultures are three-dimensional primary cell cultures derived from embryonal rat brain cells. Within 3-4 weeks in culture under continuous agitation, they exhibit organotypic structures and functions. The transient arrest of agitation induced adverse effects comparable with those occurring in the ischemic brain in vivo. This culture system therefore offers a suitable in vitro model for the elucidation of ischemia-related pathogenic processes in the brain.

Neurodegenerative diseases are significant health concerns that have a profound impact on the quality and duration of life for millions of individuals. These diseases are characterized by pathological changes in various brain regions, specific genetic mutations associated with the disease, deposits of abnormal proteins, and the degeneration of neurological cells. As neurodegenerative disorders vary in their epidemiological characteristics and vulnerability of neurons, treatment of these diseases is usually aimed at slowing disease progression.

The development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA) are believed to involve inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of applying therapeutic ultrasound (US) to human osteoarthritic chondrocytes in continuous and pulsed modes on cell proliferation and proinflammatory cytokine levels. Human osteoarthritic chondrocytes (HC-OA 402OA-05a) were proliferated in appropriate media and then seeded into culture plates.

Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) remains a major complication after solid organ transplantation (SOT). Current treatment options are inefficient and result in drastic impairment of the general immunity. To selectively eliminate responsible alloreactive B cells characterized by anti-donor-HLA B-cell receptors (BCRs), we generated T cells overcoming rejection by antibodies (CORA-Ts) engineered with a novel chimeric receptor comprising a truncated donor-HLA molecule as antigen recognition domain.

Osteogenic differentiation is crucial in normal bone formation and pathological calcification, such as calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Understanding the proteomic and transcriptomic landscapes underlying this differentiation can unveil potential therapeutic targets for CAVD. In this study, we employed RNA sequencing transcriptomics and proteomics on a timsTOF Pro platform to explore the multiomics profiles of valve interstitial cells (VICs) and osteoblasts during osteogenic differentiation.
