N6-methyladenosine regulates the stability of RNA:DNA hybrids in human cells (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature America, Inc. R-loops are nucleic acid structures formed by an RNA:DNA hybrid and unpaired single-stranded DNA that represent a source of genomic instability in mammalian cells1–4. Her...

Variable expression and silencing of CRISPR-Cas9 targeted transgenes identifies the AAVS1 locus as not an entirely safe harbour (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) can lead to severe outcomes including sudden death. The generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) reporter lines can be useful for disease modelling and drug screening by...

High-Throughput Phenotyping Toolkit for Characterizing Cellular Models of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Vitro (2019)
Journal Article

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a prevalent and complex cardiovascular disease characterised by multifarious hallmarks, a heterogeneous set of clinical manifestations, and several molecular mechanisms. Various disease models have been developed... Read More about High-Throughput Phenotyping Toolkit for Characterizing Cellular Models of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Vitro.

Simultaneous measurement of excitation-contraction coupling parameters identifies mechanisms underlying contractile responses of hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (2019)
Journal Article

Cardiomyocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs) are increasingly recognized as valuable for determining the effects of drugs on ion channels but they do not always accurately predict contractile responses of the human heart. This... Read More about Simultaneous measurement of excitation-contraction coupling parameters identifies mechanisms underlying contractile responses of hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes.

Multifunctional Bioinstructive 3D Architectures to Modulate Cellular Behavior (2019)
Journal Article

Biological structures control cell behavior via physical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical cues. Approaches that allow us to build devices that mimic these cues in a combinatorial way are lacking due to there being no suitable instructive materia...

Modeling Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Mechanistic Insights and Pharmacological Intervention (2019)
Journal Article

HCM is a prevalent and complex disease governed by multiple molecular mechanisms, and there is currently no efficient cure. New treatment strategies are under development, and several drugs are reaching the final stages of clinical trials, with parti...

Polymer microparticles with defined surface chemistry and topography mediate the formation of stem cell aggregates and cardiomyocyte function (2019)
Journal Article

Surface-functionalized microparticles are relevant to fields spanning engineering and biomedicine, with uses ranging from cell culture to advanced cell delivery. Varying topographies of biomaterial surfaces are also being investigated as mediators of... Read More about Polymer microparticles with defined surface chemistry and topography mediate the formation of stem cell aggregates and cardiomyocyte function.

Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells (2019)
Journal Article

Surface plasmons (SPs) are surface charge density oscillations occuring at a metal/dieletric interface and are highly sensitive to refractive index variations adjacent to the surface. This sensitivity has been exploited successfully for chemical and... Read More about Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells.
