Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Acellular Natural Lung Matrix on Murine Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation and Tissue Formation
Joaquin Cortiella,Jean A. Niles,Andrea V. Cantú,Andrea Brettler,Anthony Pham,Gracie Vargas,Sean Winston,Jennifer M Wang,Shannon Walls,Joan E. Nichols +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that AC lung allowed for better retention of cells with more differentiation of mESCs into epithelial and endothelial lineages and highlights the critical role played by matrix or scaffold-associated cues in guiding ESC differentiation toward lung-specific lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro analog of human bone marrow from 3D scaffolds with biomimetic inverted colloidal crystal geometry.
Joan E. Nichols,Joaquin Cortiella,Jungwoo Lee,Jean A. Niles,Meghan J. Cuddihy,Shaopeng Wang,Joseph Bielitzki,Andrea V. Cantú,Ron Mlcak,Esther Valdivia,Ryan Yancy,Matthew L. McClure,Nicholas A. Kotov +12 more
TL;DR: The development of an in vitro artificial bone marrow based on a 3D scaffold with inverted colloidal crystal (ICC) geometry mimicking the structural topology of actual bone marrow matrix being shown to be critical for production of B cells and antigen-specific antibodies is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurogenic and neuro-protective potential of a novel subpopulation of peripheral blood-derived CD133+ ABCG2+CXCR4+ mesenchymal stem cells: development of autologous cell-based therapeutics for traumatic brain injury
Joan E. Nichols,Jean A. Niles,Douglas S. DeWitt,Donald S. Prough,Margaret Parsley,Stephanie P. Vega,Andrea V. Cantú,Eric Lee,Joaquin Cortiella +8 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that PBD CD133+ABCG2+CXCR4+ MSCs have the potential for development as an autologous treatment for TBI and neurodegenerative disorders and that MSC derived cell products produced immediately after transplantation may aid in reducing the immediate cognitive defects of TBI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereotypical alterations in cortical patterning are associated with maternal illness-induced placental dysfunction.
Pamela A. Carpentier,Ursula Haditsch,Amy E. Braun,Andrea V. Cantú,Hyang Mi Moon,Robin O. Price,Matthew P. Anderson,Vidya Saravanapandian,Khadija Ismail,Moises Rivera,James M. Weimann,Theo D. Palmer +11 more
TL;DR: Maternal illness during this period selectively alters the abundance and laminar positioning of neuronal subtypes influenced by the Tbr1, Satb2, and Ctip2/Fezf2 patterning axis and is sufficient to cause changes in social behavior and cognition in the adult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete somatic niches coordinate proliferation and migration of primordial germ cells via Wnt signaling
TL;DR: It is shown that somatic cell microenvironments modulate germ cell proliferation via canonical Wnt signaling, whereas noncanonical Wnt5a–Ror2 signaling reciprocally promotes migration.
