by Fatemeh Rahmatabadi: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Drugs in R&D (2024) aiming to assess the activity of trametinib against a panel of tumor cells from patients with AML
by Agnes Sandvik: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol. (2023) aiming to assess the effects of a microencapsulation system based on the use of “human elastin-like recombinamers” on SC-islets
by Shayla Sharmine: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from non-coding RNA (2025) aiming to to investigate the roles of the mouse homolog of Hnf1aos1 in liver function, gene expression, and cellular processes.
by Kaykobad Hossain: in this article, researchers investigated an experimental reductive cell division process, termed mitomeiosis, wherein non-replicated (2n2c) somatic genomes are prematurely forced to divide following transplantation into the metaphase cytoplasm of enucleated human oocytes.
by Thomas: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Nature Communications (2025) showing that local transplantation of iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) improves brain repair and long-term functional recovery in stroke-injured mice.
by Ulrik: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Nature (2025) showing that acute stress activates medial amygdala neurons that innervate the ventromedial hypothalamus, which precipitates hyperglycaemia and hypophagia.
by Lucas Unger This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Cell Metabolism (2025) describing a regulatory axis where HNF1A controls transcription of A1CF, which orchestrates an RNA splicing program encompassing genes that regulate β cell function.
