Journal Article
Rweyemamu, L. P., Akan, G., Adolf, I. C., Magorosa, E. P., Mosha, I. J., Dharsee, N., …Atalar, F. (2021). The distribution of reproductive risk factors disclosed the heterogeneity of receptor-defined breast cancer subtypes among Tanzanian women. BMC Women's Health, 21(1), Article 423. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12905-021-01536-6

Background: Recent epidemiological studies suggest that reproductive factors are associated with breast cancer (BC) molecular subtypes. However, these associations have not been thoroughly studied in the African populations. The present study aimed t...

Biomaterials for intestinal organoid technology and personalized disease modelling (2021)
Journal Article
Hirota, A., AlMusawi, S., Nateri, A. S., Ordóñez-Moran, P., & Imajo, M. (2021). Biomaterials for intestinal organoid technology and personalized disease modelling. Acta Biomaterialia, 132, 272-287. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2021.05.010

Recent advances in intestinal organoid technologies have paved the way for in vitro recapitulation of the homeostatic renewal of adult tissues, tissue or organ morphogenesis during development, and pathogenesis of many disorders. In vitro modelling o... Read More about Biomaterials for intestinal organoid technology and personalized disease modelling.

Mast Cell Tryptase Release Contributes to Disease Progression in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (2021)
Journal Article
Babaei-Jadidi, R., Dongre, A., Miller, S., Castellanos Uribe, M., Stewart, I. D., Thompson, Z. M., …Johnson, S. R. (2021). Mast Cell Tryptase Release Contributes to Disease Progression in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 204(4), 431-444. https://doi.org/10.1164/rccm.202007-2854OC

Rationale: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a multisystem disease that causes lung cysts and respiratory failure. Loss of TSC (tuberous sclerosis complex) gene function results in a clone of “LAM cells” with dysregulated mTOR (mechanistic target of...

FLYWCH1, a Multi-Functional Zinc Finger Protein Contributes to the DNA Repair Pathway (2021)
Journal Article
Almozyan, S., Coulton, J., Babaei-Jadidi, R., & Nateri, A. S. (2021). FLYWCH1, a Multi-Functional Zinc Finger Protein Contributes to the DNA Repair Pathway. Cells, 10(4), Article 889. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells10040889

Over recent years, several Cys2-His2 (C2H2) domain-containing proteins have emerged as critical players in repairing DNA-double strand breaks. Human FLYWCH1 is a newly characterised nuclear transcription factor with (C2H2)-type zinc-finger DNA-bindin...
