The vitamin A ester retinyl propionate has a unique metabolic profile and higher retinoid‐related bioactivity over retinol and retinyl palmitate in human skin models (2020)
Journal Article
Bjerke, D. L., Li, R., Price, J. M., Dobson, R. L., Rodrigues, M., Tey, C., …Oblong, J. E. (2021). The vitamin A ester retinyl propionate has a unique metabolic profile and higher retinoid‐related bioactivity over retinol and retinyl palmitate in human skin models. Experimental Dermatology, 30(2), 226-236. https://doi.org/10.1111/exd.14219

Human skin is exposed daily to environmental stressors, which cause acute damage and inflammation. Over time this leads to morphological and visual appearance changes associated with premature aging. Topical vitamin A derivatives such as retinol (ROL...

microRNA27a-3p mediates reduction of the Wnt antagonist sFRP-1 in systemic sclerosis (2020)
Journal Article
Henderson, J., Wilkinson, S., Przyborski, S., Stratton, R., & O’Reilly, S. (2021). microRNA27a-3p mediates reduction of the Wnt antagonist sFRP-1 in systemic sclerosis. Epigenetics, 16(7), 808-817. https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2020.1827715

Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that leads to skin and lung fibrosis. The Wnt pathway is clearly elevated in SSc and is pro-fibrotic via activation of canonical Wnt signalling. sFRP-1 is a Wnt antagonist that acts...

Bioengineering Novel in vitro Co-culture Models That Represent the Human Intestinal Mucosa With Improved Caco-2 Structure and Barrier Function (2020)
Journal Article
Darling, N. J., Mobbs, C. L., González-Hau, A. L., Freer, M., & Przyborski, S. (2020). Bioengineering Novel in vitro Co-culture Models That Represent the Human Intestinal Mucosa With Improved Caco-2 Structure and Barrier Function. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 8, Article 992. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2020.00992

The Caco-2 monolayer is the most widely used in vitro model of the human intestinal mucosa to study absorption. However, models lack communication from other cells present in the native intestine, such as signals from fibroblasts in the lamina propri...

Germline TET2 loss of function causes childhood immunodeficiency and lymphoma (2020)
Journal Article
Stremenova Spegarova, J., Lawless, D., Mohamad, S. M. B., Engelhardt, K. R., Doody, G., Shrimpton, J., …Hambleton, S. (2020). Germline TET2 loss of function causes childhood immunodeficiency and lymphoma. Blood, 136(9), 1055-1066. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020005844

Molecular dissection of inborn errors of immunity can help to elucidate the nonredundant functions of individual genes. We studied 3 children with an immune dysregulation syndrome of susceptibility to infection, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, d...

Multiple scattering in scanning helium microscopy (2020)
Journal Article
Lambrick, S., Vozdecký, L., Bergin, M., Halpin, J., MacLaren, D., Dastoor, P., …Ward, D. (2020). Multiple scattering in scanning helium microscopy. Applied Physics Letters, 116(6), Article 061601. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5143950

Using atom beams to image the surface of samples in real space is an emerging technique that delivers unique contrast from delicate samples. Here, we explore the contrast that arises from multiple scattering of helium atoms, a specific process that p... Read More about Multiple scattering in scanning helium microscopy.
