| 1 | Three-dimensional bioprinted glioblastoma microenvironments model cellular dependencies and immune interactions显示文摘Brain tumors are dynamic complex ecosystems with multiple cell types.To model the brain tumor microenvironment in a reproducible and scalable system,we developed a rapid three-dimensional(3D)bioprinting method to construct clinically relevant biomimetic tissue models.In recurrent glioblastoma,macrophages/microglia prominently contribute to the tumor mass.To parse the function of macrophages in 3D,we compared the growth of glioblastoma stem cells(GSCs)alone or with astrocytes and neural precursor cells in a hyaluronic acid-rich hydrogel,with or without macrophage.Bioprinted constructs integrating macrophage recapitulate patient-derived transcriptional profiles predictive of patient survival,maintenance of stemness,invasion,and drug resistance.Whole-genome CRISPR screening with bioprinted complex systems identified unique molecular dependencies in GSCs,relative to sphere culture.Multicellular bioprinted models serve as a scalable and physiologic platform to interrogate drug sensitivity,cellular crosstalk,invasion,context-specific functional dependencies,as well as immunologic interactions in a species-matched neural environment. | Min Tang Qi Xie Ryan C.Gimple Zheng Zhong Trevor Tam Jing Tian Reilly L.Kidwell Qiulian Wu Briana C.Prager Zhixin Qiu Aaron Yu Zhe Zhu Pinar Mesci Hui Jing Jacob Schimelman Pengrui Wang Derrick Lee Michael H.Lorenzini Deobrat Dixit Linjie Zhao Shruti B.hargava Tyler E.Miller Xueyi Wan Jing Tang Bingjie Sun Benjamin F.Cravatt Alysson R.Muotri Shaochen Chen Jeremy N.Rich | 2020 | Cell Research2020,30,10: | 6 |
| 7 | The Role of Synthetic Biology in Atmospheric Greenhouse Gas Reduction: Prospects and Challenges显示文摘The long atmospheric residence time of CO2 creates an urgent need to add atmospheric carbon drawdown to CO2 regulatory strategies.Synthetic and systems biology(SSB),which enables manipulation of cellular phenotypes,offers a powerful approach to amplifying and adding new possibilities to current land management practices aimed at reducing atmospheric carbon.The participants(in attendance:Christina Agapakis,George Annas,Adam Arkin,George Church,Robert Cook-Deegan,Charles DeLisi,Dan Drell,Sheldon Glashow,Steve Hamburg,Henry Jacoby,Henry Kelly,Mark Kon,Todd Kuiken,Mary Lidstrom,Mike MacCracken,June Medford,Jerry Melillo,Ron Milo,Pilar Ossorio,Ari Patrinos,Keith Paustian,Kristala Jones Prather,Kent Redford,David Resnik,John Reilly,Richard J.Roberts,Daniel Segre,Susan Solomon,Elizabeth Strychalski,Chris Voigt,Dominic Woolf,Stan Wullschleger,and Xiaohan Yang)identified a range of possibilities by which SSB might help reduce greenhouse gas concentrations and which might also contribute to environmental sustainability and adaptation.These include,among other possibilities,engineering plants to convert CO2 produced by respiration into a stable carbonate,designing plants with an increased root-to-shoot ratio,and creating plants with the ability to self-fertilize.A number of serious ecological and societal challenges must,however,be confronted and resolved before any such application can be fully assessed,realized,and deployed. | Charles DeLisi Aristides Patrinos Michael MacCracken Dan Drell George Annas Adam Arkin George Church Robert Cook-Deegan Henry Jacoby Mary Lidstrom Jerry Melillo Ron Milo Keith Paustian John Reilly Richard J.Roberts Daniel Segrè Susan Solomon Dominic Woolf Stan D.Wullschleger Xiaohan Yang | 2020 | BioDesign Research2020,,1: | 2 |
