Background: Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) have a central role in the ventricular remodeling process associated with different types of fibrosis. Recent studies shown that do not respond homogeneously to heart injury. Because limited set bona fide fibroblast markers, proper characterization population heterogeneity response cardiac damage is lacking. The purpose this study was define CF during and underlying mechanisms regulate function. Methods: Collagen1α1–GFP (green fluorescent...
Identification of new markers associated with long-term efficacy in patients treated CAR T cells is a current medical need, particularly diseases such as multiple myeloma. In this study, we address the impact density on functionality BCMA cells. Functional and transcriptional studies demonstrate that high expression construct show an increased tonic signaling up-regulation exhaustion vitro cytotoxicity but decrease vivo BM infiltration.

Inflammation is a common feature in neurodegenerative diseases that contributes to neuronal loss. Previously, we demonstrated the basal inflammatory tone differed between brain regions and, consequently, reaction generated pro-inflammatory stimulus was different. In this study, assessed innate immune midbrain and striatum using an experimental model of Parkinson's disease. An adeno-associated virus serotype 9 expressing α-synuclein mCherry genes or gene administered into substantia nigra....
Early hematopoiesis is a continuous process in which hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) gradually differentiate toward specific lineages. Aging myeloid malignant transformation are characterized by changes the composition regulation of HSPCs. In this study, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to characterize an enriched population human HSPCs obtained from young elderly healthy individuals. Based on their transcriptional profile, identified proportions compartments...
Discovery of Fe-carbonate precipitation in Rio Tinto, a shallow river with very acidic waters, situated Huelva, South-western Spain, adds new dimension to our understanding carbonate formation. Sediment samples from this low-pH system indicate that carbonates are formed physico-chemical conditions ranging acid neutral pH. Evidence for microbial mediation is observed secondary electron images (Fig. 1), which reveal rod-shaped bacteria embedded the surface siderite nanocrystals. The formation...
Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable disease, whose clinical heterogeneity makes its management challenging, highlighting the need for biological features to guide improved therapies. Deregulation of specific long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been shown in MM, nevertheless, complete lncRNA transcriptome not yet elucidated. In this work, we identified 40,511 novel lncRNAs MM samples. accounted 82% and were more heterogeneously expressed than coding genes. A total 10,351 overexpressed 9,535...
Inflammation is a critical process for the progression of neuronal death in neurodegenerative disorders. Microglia play central role neuroinflammation and may affect neuron vulnerability. Next generation sequencing has shown molecular heterogeneity microglial cells; however, variability their response to pathological inputs remains unknown.To determine effect an inflammatory stimulus on cells, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was administered peripherally mice status cortex, hippocampus, midbrain,...
Salar de Uyuni (SdU), with a geological history that reflects 50 000 years of climate change, is the largest hypersaline salt flat on Earth and estimated to be biggest lithium reservoir in world. Its salinity reaches saturation levels for NaCl, kosmotropic salt, high concentrations MgCL2 LiCl, both salts considered important chaotrophic stressors. In addition, extreme temperatures, anoxic conditions, UV irradiance, albedo extremely low phosphorous, make SdU unique natural environment which...
Abstract While myelodysplastic syndromes with del(5q) (del(5q) MDS) comprises a well-defined hematological subgroup, the molecular basis underlying its origin remains unknown. Using single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) on CD34 + progenitors from MDS patients, we have identified cells harboring deletion, characterizing transcriptional impact of this genetic insult disease pathogenesis and treatment response. Interestingly, both non-del(5q) present similar lesions, indicating that all cells, not...
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) malignancies characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, with increased incidence in older individuals. Here we analyze the transcriptome of human HSCs purified from young and healthy adults, as well MDS patients, identifying transcriptional alterations following different patterns expression. While aging-associated lesions seem to predispose myeloid transformation, disease-specific may trigger development. Among MDS-specific...
Despite the potential of CAR-T therapies for hematological malignancies, their efficacy in patients with relapse and refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia has been limited. The aim our study to develop manufacture a cell product that addresses some current limitations. We initially compared phenotype T cells from AML healthy young elderly controls. This analysis showed displayed predominantly effector phenotype, increased expression activation (CD69 HLA-DR) exhaustion markers (PD1 LAG3),...
Generating organs from stem cells through blastocyst complementation is a promising approach to meet the clinical need for transplants. In order generate rejection-free organs, of both parenchymal and vascular must be achieved, as endothelial play key role in graft rejection.
