In a recent issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Gray et al. (2020) report an aptamer-based method to reversibly label and isolate EGF receptor-expressing cells from heterogeneous mixtures by cell sorting approaches. Subsequent treatment using complementary oligonucleotides restores full functionality of EGF receptors, highlighting the superiority of this method to antibody-based sorting.

Hunting glioblastoma recurrence: glioma stem cells as retrospective targets.

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain malignancies in adults. Standard approaches, including surgical resection followed by adjuvant radio- and chemotherapy with temozolomide, provide only transient control, as GBM frequently recurs due to its infiltrative nature and the presence of therapy-resistant subpopulations such as glioma stem cells (GSCs). GSCs, with their quiescent state and robust resistance mechanisms, evade conventional therapies, contributing significantly to relapse.

In the existing development of extensive drug screening models, 3D cell cultures outshine conventional 2D monolayer cells by closely imitating the in vivo tumor microenvironment. This makes 3D culture a more physiologically relevant and convenient system in the regime of preclinical drug testing. In the nanomedicinal world, nanoconjugates as nanocarriers are largely hunted due to their capability of precisely binding to target cells and distributing essential dosages of therapeutic drugs with enhanced safety profiles.

Article Synopsis
- T cell therapies, like CAR and TCR T cells, are emerging cancer treatments, but improving their effectiveness requires understanding their behavior in populations.
- The authors developed advanced tools using live-cell imaging to track and analyze modified T cells interacting with tumor cells, focusing on their morphology, movement, and interactions.
- They found that specific genetic modifications in TCR T cells led to longer interaction times and better activation against cancer cells, while other modifications increased T cell growth, paving the way for more effective cancer therapies.
AMPK regulates Bcl2-L-13-mediated mitophagy induction for cardioprotection.

The accumulation of damaged mitochondria in the heart is associated with heart failure. Mitophagy is an autophagic degradation system that specifically targets damaged mitochondria. We have reported previously that Bcl2-like protein 13 (Bcl2-L-13) mediates mitophagy and mitochondrial fission in mammalian cells.

Growth plate cartilage (GP) serves as a dynamic site of active mineralization and offers a unique opportunity to investigate the cell-regulated matrix mineralization process. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provides a means for the direct observation of these mechanisms, offering the necessary resolution and chemical analysis capabilities. However, as mineral crystallinity is prone to artifacts using aqueous fixation protocols, sample preparation techniques are critical to preserve the mineralized tissue in its native form.
