Scientific Poster: Optimal Wnt Agonist for High LGR5+ Intestinal Organoid Growth and Functional Differenciated Organoid Induction

Wnt has been widely used as an essential factor in human intestinal organoids. Although recombinant Wnt3a is commonly utilized as Wnt source in organoid culture, a single Wnt3a protein is water insoluble and is not stable in culture medium. Recently, recombinant Afamin/Wnt3a and Wnt Surrogate-Fe Fusion Protein were developed. These Wnt agonists are stable as a medium supplement and support long-term organoid proliferation.

Scientific Poster: Analysis of biomarkers in melanoma patients receiving ICI treatments: pre- vs post in responders and progressors

Study of biomarkers of immune-related adverse events and responses in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors may shed light into mechanisms of resistance, T cell exhaustion and other combinatorial therapies. The elevated levels of such biomarkers have potential to predict whether a treatment of PD-1 or PD-1/CTLA-4 antagonist combination will be effective in a certain melanoma patient. Therefore, it may potentially guide healthcare providers to change treatment plans.

Autophagy is a cellular self-digestion process for the purpose of providing nutrients to allow for cell survival during stress conditions. Autophagy can be selective (mitophagy) or non-selective (nutrient poor). Autophagy plays an important role in maintaining the cell homeostasis by removing non-essential cell components.

This information can potentially lead to vaccines or drug development.

Pathwway Poster: miRNA/mRNA

The main classes of small ncRNA are short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). siRNAs are generated by cleavage of exogenous long double-stranded RNA precursors in response to viral infection or artificial introduction. In contrast, miRNAs are generated from endogenous transcripts containing stem-loop structures.

Pathway Poster: p53 in Cancer

p53 is an important factor in tumor suppression and is activated in response to cellular stress to induce cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. p53 mutants found in tumors are no longer functional as tumor suppressors, resulting in cell malignancies. The immune response in tumor patients correlates with the presence of p53 mutations, leading to the accumulation of ineffective p53 proteins in the tumor cells

Blog: Mechanisms and detection methods of p62/SQSTM1 and its importance in the autophagy pathway.

The ubiquitin-conjugating protein p62/SQSTM1 is thought to be a scaffold protein that interacts with a variety of molecules involved in toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling, such as TRAF6, ERK, and aPKC. Recent evidence suggests that p62 binds directly to the autophagosome marker LC3 and is then selectively degraded by autophagy.

Blog: LC3: The gold standard for autophagy research

LC3, a mammalian homologue of yeast ATG8, is a soluble protein that is distributed ubiquitously in mammalian tissues and cultured cells. LC3 has been studied most extensively and is frequently used as an autophagy marker in mammals. Newly translated LC3 (proLC3) is immediately processed at the C-terminus in order to form LC3-I. During autophagy, autophagosomes engulf cytoplasmic components, including cytosolic proteins and organelles. Concomitantly, a cytosolic form of LC3 (LC3-I) is conjugated to phosphatidylethanolamine to form LC3-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate (LC3-II), which is recruited to autophagosomal membranes.

Blog: Is Wnt3a an essential component in organoid culture?

Organoids are self-organized three-dimensional tissue cultures that are derived from mammalian pluripotent or adult stem cells. These in-vitro-grown cell clusters are given possibilities to replicate much of the complexity of an organ. There are potentially as many types of organoids as there are different tissues and organs. To date, researchers have been able to prepare brain, kidney, lung, intestine, stomach, liver and many more are developing.
