Digital twins of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, allowing the virtual simulation of various invasive or non-invasive measurements (cardiac output, ballistocardiography signal, blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, FeNO, DLNO, FEV1, etc.) on healthy or pathological subjects, of variable size

Using the ex vivo culture system, we investigated the impact of an endoscopic helium plasma jet application on mouse ISCs at the morphological, cellular and transcriptomic levels. Moreover, we explored the potential selectivity of CAP application on tumor versus normal organoids originating from the

The tri-dimensional (3D) culture protocols allow isolation and culture of gastric epithelial antral and intestinal stem cells to efficiently generate organoids that recapitulate the mature pyloric and intestinal epithelium in vitro and foetal epithelial progenitors of these tissues growing as

Alkaline comet assay (COM) and Micronucleus test (MN) are well-established cytogenetic tests that are used to detect both immediate damages i.e. DNA fragmentation, and permanent damage which results in micronuclei formation. These techniques are often applied separately or, sometimes, in combination

We used a 7-stage protocol to generate beta cells from human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) and evaluated whether these cells are responsive to the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IFNγ, IL-1β, or IFNα) that play a role in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our data show that human iPSC-derived beta cells
