by Agnes Sandvik: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from BMC Genomics (2024) using single-cell sequencing datasets to characterize the transcriptional identity of islets from in vitro differentiation, fetal islets, and adult islets

This study proposes hiPSCs derived SC-islet differentiation as model to study development impact of EDCs on human pancreatic endocrine cell development and maturation. Using a cocktail of BPA, BPS and trans-nonachlor provided comparable results with in vivo studies of fetus exposure to BPA. Congratulations June, Thomas and Lucas!

Our collaboration with our neighbouring lab continues with Ksenia performing quantitative label-free mass spectrometry, by employing both data-dependent and data-independent acquisition methods, on our cell line model for HNF1A “hot-spot” mutation. Lucas performed in vitro differentiation until pancreatic progenitor stage…
