Project description:To study developmental trajectories in brain organoids, we conducted scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq in parallel on a dense timecourse of early development.
Project description:Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is associated with multiple somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs). We analyzed SCNAs to estimate overall survival (OS) and progression free suvival (PFS) for mCRC patients treated with bevacizumab in combination with oxaliplatin or irinotecan.
Project description:The aim of the study was to determine whether vorbipiprant, a prostaglandin EP4 receptor antagonist, can convert immune-resistant mCRC into a tumor responsive to anti-PD-1 inhibition
Project description:Here, we used single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profile pluripotent stem cell derived human intestinal organoids (HIOs) grown in matrigel or a non-adhesive alginate hydrogel after 28 days of in vitro growth. Additionally, we used scRNA-seq to profile HIOs derived in the presence of Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) and/or EGF after 40 days of in vitro growth.
Project description:Here, we used single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profile intestinal epithelial only organoids (also known as enteroids) from human fetal duodenum after one passage of in vitro growth. Organoids were grown in the standard 25% LWRN media with either 100 ng/ml of epidermal growth factor (EGF) or 1 ng/ml of EPIREGULIN (EREG) added.
Project description:The objective is to generate a robust and validated predictor profile for chemotherapy response in patients with mCRC using microarray gene expression profiles of primary colorectal cancer tissue.
Project description:We used trophoblast organoids differentiating to extravillous trophoblast (EVT) to study the effects of key cytokines secreted by uterine Natural Killer (uNK) cells on EVT behaviour. Specifically, we exposed the organoids to four uNK-derived cytokines (CSF1, CSF2, XCL1, CCL5) and collected cells at different time points along the EVT differentiation pathway for scRNA-seq. We observe enhanced EVT differentiation in cytokine-treated organoids demonstrated by the increased proportion of late EVT subtypes and regulation of related pathways such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Moreover, uNK cytokines affect other processes important during early pregnancy including dampening of inflammatory and adaptive immune responses, regulation of blood flow, and placental access to nutrients.
