Respiratory viral coinfections are a global public health threat that poses an economic burden on individuals, families, and healthcare infrastructure. Viruses may coinfect interact synergistically or antagonistically, their coinfection not affect replication rate. These interactions specific to different virus combinations, which underlines the importance of understanding mechanisms behind these differential need for novel diagnostic methods accurately identify multiple viruses causing disease in patient avoid misdiagnosis. This review examines epidemiological patterns, pathology manifestations, immune response modulation respiratory combinations occur during using experimental models better understand dynamics takes driving outcomes severity, is crucial guide development prevention treatment strategies.

Cryobiopsy: A Breakthrough Strategy for Clinical Utilization of Lung Cancer Organoids

Cells, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(14), С. 1854 - 1854

One major challenge associated with lung cancer organoids (LCOs) is their predominant derivation from surgical specimens of patients early-stage cancer. However, advanced cancer, who are in need chemotherapy, often cannot undergo surgery. Therefore, there an urgent to successfully generate LCOs biopsy specimens. Conventional techniques, such as transthoracic needle and forceps biopsy, only yield small amounts tissue, resulting a low success rate for culturing samples. Furthermore, potential complications, like bleeding pneumothorax, make it difficult obtain sufficient tissue. Another critical issue the overgrowth normal cells later passages LCO culture, optimal culture conditions yet be determined. To address these limitations, we attempted create cryobiopsy obtained (n = 113). Overall, initial establishing samples was 40.7% 46). Transbronchial enables retrieval significantly larger tissue than bronchoscopic biopsy. Additionally, can employed peripheral lesions, aided via radial endobronchial ultrasonography. This study improved demonstrated that retained characteristics resembled primary tumors. Single-cell RNA sequencing confirmed high cell purity early derived three-dimensional structure intracellular components were characterized using holotomography. Finally, drug screening performed specialized micropillar system cryobiopsy-derived LCOs. offer promising solution limitations conventional Cryobiopsy applied at all stages, including those provide generation. anticipate will serve breakthrough strategy clinical application stages

Bridging the gap between in vitro and in vivo models: a way forward to clinical translation of mitochondrial transplantation in acute disease states

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Май 31, 2024

Abstract Mitochondrial transplantation and transfer are being explored as therapeutic options in acute chronic diseases to restore cellular function injured tissues. To limit potential immune responses rejection of donor mitochondria, current clinical applications have focused on delivery autologous mitochondria. We recently convened a Transplant Convergent Working Group (CWG), explore three key issues that translation: (1) storage (2) biomaterials enhance mitochondrial uptake, (3) dynamic models mimic the complex recipient tissue environment. In this review, we present summary CWG conclusions related these provide an overview pre-clinical studies aimed at building more robust toolkit for translational trials.

Chronic respiratory diseases and infections are among the largest contributors to death globally, many of which still have no cure, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, idiopathic fibrosis, syncytial virus others. Pulmonary therapeutics afford untapped potential for treating lung infection disease through direct delivery site action. However, ability innovate new therapeutic paradigms will rely on modeling human microenvironment key cellular interactions that drive disease. One feature is air-liquid interface (ALI). ALI techniques, using cell-culture inserts, organoids, microfluidics, precision slices (PCLS), rapidly developing; however, one major component these models lacking—innate immune cell populations. Macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, others, represent populations, acting as first responders during or injury. Innate cells respond modulate stromal bridge gap between innate adaptive system, controlling bodies response foreign pathogens debris.
