Human Engineered Heart Tissue as a Versatile Tool in Basic Research and Preclinical Toxicology by Sebastian Schaaf (200540)

“…However, high content experimental platforms are lacking that allow the function of hESC-derived cardiomyocytes to be studied under relatively physiological and standardized conditions. Here we describe a simple and robust protocol for the generation of fibrin-based human engineered heart tissue (hEHT) in a 24-well format using an unselected population of differentiated human embryonic stem cells containing 30–40% α-actinin-positive cardiac myocytes. …”

Serotonin, a downstream effector of GLP-2, enhances lacteal contractility and lymph flow by Lili Tian (12992016)

“…Utilizing a rat lymph fistula model, 5 hours after an intraduodenal (i.d.) lipid bolus, the following intraperitoneal (i.p.) administrations were applied in two different sets of experiments: Experiment 1: 1) Placebo, 2) GLP-2, 3) GLP-2 + Ketanserin (serotonin receptor antagonist). …”

Mechanism of insulin resistance in a rat model of kidney disease and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by François Dion (3990335)

“…The effect of chronic kidney disease on insulin resistance was studied on two different rat strains. First, in a 5/6^th nephrectomised Sprague-Dawley rat model of chronic kidney disease, we observed a correlation between the severity of chronic kidney disease and hyperglycemia as evaluated by serum fructosamine levels (p<0.0001). …”

DataSheet1_Understanding the impact of radiotherapy fractionation on overall survival in a large head and neck squamous cell carcinoma dataset: a comprehensive approach combining m... by Igor Shuryak (337356)

“…Our previous analyses of radiotherapy-only HNSCC clinical trials data using mechanistically-motivated models of tumor repopulation and killing by radiotherapy predicted that hyperfractionation with twice-daily fractions, or hypofractionation involving increased doses/fraction and reduced treatment durations, both improve tumor control and reduce late normal tissue toxicity, compared with standard protocols using 35×2 Gy. Here we further investigated the validity of these conclusions by analyzing a large modern dataset on 3,346 HNSCC radiotherapy patients from the University Health Network in Toronto, Canada, where 42.5% of patients were also treated with chemotherapy.…”
