Protective function of ex vivo expanded CD8 T cells in a mouse model of adoptive therapy for cytomegalovirus infection depends on integrin beta 1 but not CXCR3, CTLA4, or PD-1 expression

Efficient targeting of heart lesions with cardiac myofibroblasts: Combined gene and cell therapy enhanced by magnetic steering

The paper develops a method to target cardiac scars using genetically modified myofibroblasts guided by magnetic steering, showing improved engraftment and reduced ventricular tachycardia.

COMPLETE GENOME SEQUENCE OF VIBRIO SYNGNATHI SP. NOV., A FISH PATHOGEN, ISOLATED FROM THE KIEL FJORD

The paper describes the isolation and genome sequencing of a new Vibrio species, Vibrio syngnathi, from a fish pathogen, highlighting its phenotypic features and genomic characteristics.

Advanced physiological maturation of iPSC-derived human cardiomyocytes using an algorithm-directed optimization of defined media components

This study develops a novel medium for iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes using differential evolution to enhance maturation, validated through multiomic analysis.

MHC class Ia molecules facilitate MCK2-dependent MCMV infection of macrophages and virus dissemination to the salivary gland

This study identifies the MHC-Ia/B2m complex as a receptor for MCK2-mediated MCMV infection of macrophages and shows its role in viral dissemination to salivary glands.

Tissue-Specific Biochemical Differences Between Chronic Wasting Disease Prions Isolated From Free Ranging, White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

This study compares biochemical differences between prions isolated from the brain and lymph node of white-tailed deer with chronic wasting disease.

3D microenvironment stiffness regulates tumor spheroid growth and mechanics via p21 and ROCK

This study shows that 3D microenvironment stiffness affects tumor spheroid growth and mechanics through p21 and ROCK pathways.

Acute but not inherited demyelination in mouse models leads to brain tissue stiffness changes

This study shows that acute demyelination reduces brain tissue stiffness, while inherited demyelination does not, potentially affecting remyelination in mouse models.

Polyacrylamide Bead Sensors for in vivo Quantification of Cell-Scale Stress in Zebrafish Development

The paper develops PAAm bead sensors to measure cell-scale stress in zebrafish embryos and uses COMPAX to detect stress patterns during development.

Standardized microgel beads as elastic cell mechanical probes

This paper presents standardized poly-acylamide microgel beads as mechanical probes for cell mechanics, showing they can be calibrated to mimic cell elasticity and used for cross-comparison of measurement techniques.

Real-time fluorescence and deformability cytometry - flow cytometry goes mechanics

This paper introduces RT-FDC, combining real-time fluorescence imaging with deformability cytometry to enable label-free, high-throughput mechanical and molecular cell analysis.
