Directed differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into functional cholangiocyte-like cells (2017)
Journal Article
Sampaziotis, F., de Brito, M. C., Geti, I., Bertero, A., Hannan, N. R., & Vallier, L. (2017). Directed differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into functional cholangiocyte-like cells. Nature Protocols, 12(4), 814-827. https://doi.org/10.1038/nprot.2017.011

The difficulty in isolating and propagating functional primary cholangiocytes is a major limitation in the study of biliary disorders and the testing of novel therapeutic agents. To overcome this problem, we have developed a platform for the differen... Read More about Directed differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into functional cholangiocyte-like cells.

Dynamics of 5-carboxylcytosine during hepatic differentiation: potential general role for active demethylation by DNA repair in lineage specification (2017)
Journal Article
Lewis, L. C., Lo, P. C. K., Foster, J. M., Dai, N., Correa, I. R., Durczak, P. M., …Ruzov, A. (in press). Dynamics of 5-carboxylcytosine during hepatic differentiation: potential general role for active demethylation by DNA repair in lineage specification. Epigenetics, 12(4), https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2017.1292189

Patterns of DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine, 5mC) are rearranged during differentiation contributing to the regulation of cell type-specific gene expression. TET proteins oxidise 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC) and 5-c...
