Abstract Background Pancreatic organoid systems have recently been described for the in vitro culture of pancreatic ductal cells from mouse and human. Mouse organoids exhibit unlimited expansion potential, while previously reported human pancreas (hPO) cultures do not expand efficiently long-term a chemically defined, serum-free medium. We sought to generate 3D system as hPOs serve basis studies epithelium, exocrine diseases development genomically stable replacement cell therapy diabetes...
Abstract RNF43/ZNRF3 negatively regulate WNT signalling. Both genes are mutated in several types of cancers, however, their contribution to liver disease is unknown. Here we describe that hepatocyte-specific loss Rnf43 / Znrf3 results steatohepatitis and increase unsaturated lipids, the absence dietary fat supplementation. Upon injury, deletion defective hepatocyte regeneration cancer, caused by an imbalance between differentiation/proliferation. Using hepatocyte-, hepatoblast- ductal...

The homologous E3 ubiquitin ligases RNF43/ZNRF3 negatively regulate WNT signalling activation. Recently, both genes have been found mutated in several types of cancers. Specifically, loss-of-function mutations result adenoma formation mouse small intestine. However, their role liver cancer has not explored yet. Here we describe that hepatocyte-specific deletion Rnf43/Znrf3 results altered lipid metabolism and a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) phenotype mouse, the absence exogenous fat...
