AI Article Synopsis

  • The study by Park et al. (2019) focuses on using real-time imaging to track specific stem cells in the cornea during wound healing.
  • The researchers observed keratin-14 and Confetti-labeled limbal epithelial stem cells as they participated in the healing process.
  • They discovered that the initial healing of corneal wounds occurs through the movement of basal epithelial cells into the affected area.

Article Abstract

In this issue of Stem Cell Reports, Park et al. (2019) describe real-time in vivo visual monitoring of keratin-14, Confetti-labeled limbal epithelial stem cells and their progeny as they contribute to central corneal wound-healing. The authors show that corneal wounds initially heal by "basal epithelial cell migration" into the wound-bed.

Objective: Donor liver preservation methods and solutions have evolved over the last years. Liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC) barrier function and integrity during preservation is crucial for outcomes of liver transplantation. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine optimal preservation of LSEC barrier function and integrity, using different preservation solutions.

The phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) gene is a critical tumor suppressor that plays an essential role in the development and functionality of the central nervous system. Located on chromosome 10 in humans and chromosome 19 in mice, PTEN encodes a protein that regulates cellular processes such as division, proliferation, growth, and survival by antagonizing the PI3K‑Akt‑mTOR signaling pathway. In neurons, PTEN dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol‑3,4,5‑trisphosphate (PIP3) to PIP2, thereby modulating key signaling cascades involved in neurogenesis, neuronal migration, and synaptic plasticity.

Parkinson's disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, with patients manifesting varying motor and nonmotor symptoms. Previous studies using single-cell RNA sequencing in rodent models and humans have identified distinct heterogeneity of neurons and glial cells with differential vulnerability. Recent studies have increasingly leveraged multiomics approaches, including spatial transcriptomics, epigenomics, and proteomics, in the study of Parkinson's disease, providing new insights into pathogenic mechanisms.

Objectives: This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the molecular landscape of gastric cancer (GC) by integrating various bioinformatics tools and experimental validations.

Methodology: GSE79973 dataset, limma package, STRING, UALCAN, GEPIA, OncoDB, cBioPortal, DAVID, TISIDB, Gene Set Cancer Analysis (GSCA), tissue samples, RT-qPCR, and cell proliferation assay were employed in this study.

Results: Analysis of the GSE79973 dataset identified 300 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), from which COL1A1, COL1A2, CHN1, and FN1 emerged as pivotal hub genes using protein-protein interaction network analysis.
