Hypoxia is a common phenomenon for solid tumors due to a lack of effective vascular system, and has been deemed as an important factor that drives the progression of thyroid cancer (TC) via altering the characteristics of tumor cells. The present study suggested that hypoxic TC cells enhanced cancer stem cell properties and progression of TC by delivering long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 665 (LINC00665)-containing exosomes. Specifically, TPC1 cells were exposed to normoxic or hypoxic environment, and it was found that hypoxic TPC1 cells-secreted exosomes (H-exo) were enriched with LINC00665, compared to normoxic TPC1 cells-derived exosomes (N-exo).

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is an established treatment for a wide variety of haematological diseases, both malignant and non-malignant. Infectious and non-infectious post-HCT pulmonary complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with non-infectious complications becoming more prominent in recent decades as prophylaxis has led to a decrease in infectious complications. Globally, these complications can be divided into three phases (neutropenic, early and late phase) depending on their time of onset in relation to the graft.

Human stem cell models for Marfan syndrome: a .

Front Cell Dev Biol

January 2025

Medical Cell Biology Research Group, Department of Human Structure and Repair, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.

The introduction of pluripotent stem cells into the field of disease modelling resulted in numerous opportunities to study and uncover disease mechanisms in a petri dish. This promising avenue has also been applied to model Marfan syndrome, a disease affecting multiple organ systems, including the skeletal and cardiovascular system. Marfan syndrome is caused by pathogenic variants in , the gene encoding for the extracellular matrix protein fibrillin-1 which ensembles into microfibrils.

Recent experimental findings indicate that cancer stem cells originate from transformed very small embryonic-like stem cells. This finding represents an essential advancement in uncovering the processes that drive the onset and progression of cancer. In continuously growing cell lines, for the first time, our team's follow-up research on leukemia, lung cancer, and healthy embryonic kidney cells revealed stages that resembles very small precursor stem cells.

Background: Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disorder involving the white matter, is not adequately recapitulated by current disease models. Somatic cell reprogramming, along with advancements in genome engineering, may allow the establishment of human models of MLC for disease modeling and drug screening. In this study, we utilized cellular reprogramming and gene-editing techniques to develop induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models of MLC to recapitulate the cellular context of the classical MLC-impacted nervous system.
