    Abstract The intestine comprises distinct segments, each characterized by unique cell populations and functions. Intestinal organoids faithfully replicate the cellular composition and functions of the intestine. Over the past decade, the organoid model has garnered considerable attention for its application in investigation of organ development, renewal and functional performance. While the organoid culture systems for mouse small intestine and human large intestine have widely adopted, a comparison summary for different segments of the human or mouse intestine is lacking. In this study, we present a systematically detailed culture methodology for intestinal organoids, encompassing both the small intestine and the large intestine from humans or mice. This method provides a robust in vitro tool for intestinal research, and expands the possible clinical application of organoids.

    Abstract Human cardiac and other organoids have recently emerged as a groundbreaking tool for advancing our understanding the developmental biology of human organs. A recent paper from Sasha Mendjan's laboratory published in the journal Cell on December 7, 2023, reported the generation of multi-chamber cardioids from human pluripotent stem cells, a transformative technology in the field of cardiology. In this short highlight paper, we summarize their findings. Their cardioids remarkably recapitulate the complexity of the human embryonic heart, including tissue architecture, cellular diversity, and functionality providing an excellent in vitro model for investigation of human heart development, disease modeling, precision medicine, and regenerative medicine. Thus, generating cardioids is an important step forward for understanding human heart development and developing potential therapies for heart diseases.

    Abstract The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling plays a critical role in the development and tissue homeostasis in metazoans, and deregulation of TGF-β signaling leads to many pathological conditions. Mounting evidence suggests that TGF-β signaling can actively alter metabolism in diverse cell types. Furthermore, metabolic pathways, beyond simply regarded as biochemical reactions, are closely intertwined with signal transduction. Here, we discuss the role of TGF-β in glucose, lipid, amino acid, redox and polyamine metabolism with an emphasis on how TGF-β can act as a metabolic modulator and how metabolic changes can influence TGF-β signaling. We also describe how interplay between TGF-β signaling and cell metabolism regulates cellular homeostasis as well as the progression of multiple diseases, including cancer.

    Abstract The extraction of the fetal brain from magnetic resonance (MR) images is a challenging task. In particular, fetal MR images suffer from different kinds of artifacts introduced during the image acquisition. Among those artifacts, intensity inhomogeneity is a common one affecting brain extraction. In this work, we propose a deep learning-based recovery-extraction framework for fetal brain extraction, which is particularly effective in handling fetal MR images with intensity inhomogeneity. Our framework involves two stages. First, the artifact-corrupted images are recovered with the proposed generative adversarial learning-based image recovery network with a novel region-of-darkness discriminator that enforces the network focusing on artifacts of the images. Second, we propose a brain extraction network for more effective fetal brain segmentation by strengthening the association between lower- and higher-level features as well as suppressing task-irrelevant features. Thanks to the proposed recovery-extraction strategy, our framework is able to accurately segment fetal brains from artifact-corrupted MR images. The experiments show that our framework achieves promising performance in both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, and outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both image recovery and fetal brain extraction.

    Abstract Background: Mounting evidence suggests that lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSC) have different biological behaviors and therapeutic regimens in clinical practice. However, limited improvements in molecular differential diagnosis of the two entities have been achieved in recent decades. We aimed to find novel markers that could define non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) subtypes.
    Methods: We first explored publically available databases to search for DNA methylation signatures that enable a precise discrimination of LAC and LSC. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was then used to analyze the methylation status and sites of candidate genes in LAC/LSC tissue samples, and a quantitative methylation-sensitive PCR (qMS-PCR) assay was conducted to test the performance of the selected maker in tissue samples and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) specimens.
    Results: We screened 19 top-ranked methylation loci that are differentially methylated between LAC and LSC. Among these hits, 6 methylation sites are enriched within the PREX1 gene promoter, thus becoming our focus. NGS analysis confirmed markedly higher PREX1 methylation levels in LAC than in LSC and revealed the right sites for detection of PREX1 methylation. Furthermore, PREX1 methylation analysis in lung cancer tissue samples defined 9 of 11 pathologically proven LACs, as well as 12 of 14 LSCs. In addition, ~ 80% LAC BALF samples showed methylated PREX1 compared to substantially lower test positivity (0-9%) of it in LSC and other lung conditions (P < 0.01).
    Conclusion: Our pilot study identified a unique epigenetic signature that could effectively distinguish LAC from LSC in various lung samples. It may enhance our in-depth understanding of the biology of lung cancer and pave the way for better accurate diagnosis and treatment stratification in the future.

    Abstract Polycyclic hydrocarbons with diradical and polyradical characters usually display unique reactivities in ring-cyclization reactions. However, such reactions are rarely used to construct π-extended polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Here, we describe the synthesis of an S-shaped doubly helical singlet diradicaloid compound and its facile transformation into an unprecedented circumchrysene via a two-stage ring cyclization, which includes: (1) an eletrocylization from diradicaloid precursor and (2) a Scholl reaction. The reaction mechanism was investigated through
