Metabolic maturation of induced pluripotent stem cells derived cardiomyocytes by Lopez, C

“…By simultaneously targeting both maturation methods we have shown a degree of maturation through an increased movement towards reduced glycolysis and increased FAO in our iPSC-CMs.</p> <p>Like others this thesis has shown that iPSC-CMs mature slowly over time with changes in structural genes occurring during the first month of differentiation and continuing to increase up to 3 months, whereas metabolic changes took longer to develop. 3D culture on collagen-derived scaffolds and engineered heart tissue (EHT) accelerated this maturation time and increased mitochondrial oxidative metabolism while decreasing anaerobic glycolysis. …”

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…By leveraging targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry (MS) of endogenous tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, which enables phosphosite-specific quantification of TK signaling networks, I report several cell line-specific vulnerabilities not predicted to exist at the genetic level, and the consensus observation that sustained activity of SRC family kinases (SFKs), or of the SRC-like kinases ABL1/2, is an important contributor to GM-TKI tolerance in all lines. …”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…Many questions remain, however, regarding how the macroscopic displacement patterns are controlled by the microscale interactions between the fluid interface and the solid surface in systems under geometric confinement like microfluidic devices and porous media. This fluid-solid interaction—exacerbated by the roughness inherent to all natural and engineered surfaces—introduces a large energy dissipation near the solid boundary that challenges our ability to interpret laboratory experiments and develop mathematical models. …”
