Human neural stem cells in patients with chronic ischaemic stroke (PISCES): a phase 1, first-in-man study (2016)
Journal Article
Kalladka, D., Sinden, J., Pollock, K., Haig, C., McLean, J., Smith, W., …Muir, K. W. (2016). Human neural stem cells in patients with chronic ischaemic stroke (PISCES): a phase 1, first-in-man study. Lancet, 388(10046), 787-796. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736%2816%2930513-X

Background: CTX0E03 is an immortalised human neural stem-cell line from which a drug product (CTX-DP) was developed for allogeneic therapy. Dose-dependent improvement in sensorimotor function in rats implanted with CTX-DP 4 weeks after middle cerebra...

Cyclin A1 and P450 aromatase promote metastatic homing and growth of stem-like prostate cancer cells in the bone marrow (2016)
Journal Article
Miftakhova, R., Hedblom, A., Semenas, J., Robinson, B. D., Simoulis, A., Malm, J., …Persson, J. L. (2016). Cyclin A1 and P450 aromatase promote metastatic homing and growth of stem-like prostate cancer cells in the bone marrow. Cancer Research, 76(8), 2453-2464. https://doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-15-2340

Bone metastasis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in prostate cancer (PCa). While cancer stem-like cells have been implicated as a cell of origin for PCa metastases, the pathways which enable metastatic development at distal sites remain...

Condenser-free contrast methods for transmitted-light microscopy (2014)
Journal Article
Webb, K. F. (2014). Condenser-free contrast methods for transmitted-light microscopy. Journal of Microscopy, 257(1), 8-22. https://doi.org/10.1111/jmi.12181

Phase contrast microscopy allows the study of highly transparent yet detail-rich specimens by producing intensity contrast from phase objects within the sample. Presented here is a generalized phase contrast illumination schema in which condenser opt... Read More about Condenser-free contrast methods for transmitted-light microscopy.

Modulation of pluripotency in the porcine embryo and iPS Cells (2012)
Journal Article
Rodríguez, A., Allegrucci, C., & Alberio, R. (2012). Modulation of pluripotency in the porcine embryo and iPS Cells. PLoS ONE, 7(11), Article 12. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0049079

The establishment of the pluripotent ICM during early mammalian development is characterized by the differential expression of the transcription factors NANOG and GATA4/6, indicative of the epiblast and hypoblast, respectively. Differences in the mec... Read More about Modulation of pluripotency in the porcine embryo and iPS Cells.

Keeping an open mind: highlights and controversies of the breast cancer stem cell theory (2012)
Journal Article
Shah, M., & Allegrucci, C. (2012). Keeping an open mind: highlights and controversies of the breast cancer stem cell theory. Breast Cancer: Targets and Therapy, 2012(4), https://doi.org/10.2147/BCTT.S26434

The discovery that breast cancers contain stem-like cells has fuelled exciting research in the last few years. These cells are referred to as breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) and are thought to be involved in tumor initiation, progression, and metast...
