Roughness-Controlled Self-Assembly of Mannitol/LB Agar Microparticles by Polymorphic Transformation for Pulmonary Drug Delivery by Zhang, Fengying, Ngoc, Nguyen Thi Quynh, Tay, Bao Hui, Mendyk, Aleksander, Shao, Yu-Hsuan, Lau, Raymond

“…SEM images coupled with image analysis software reveal that different surface morphology of the microparticles have different drug adhesion mechanisms. Comparison of ACI results and image analysis of SEM images shows that an increase in the particle surface roughness can increase the fine particle fractions (FPFs) using the rod-covered mannitol microparticles as drug carriers. …”

A quantitative spatial cell-cell colocalizations framework enabling comparisons between in vitro assembloids and pathological specimens by Bouchard, G, Zhang, W, Ilerten, I, Li, I, Bhattacharya, A, Li, Y, Trope, W, Shrager, JB, Kuo, C, Ozawa, MG, Giaccia, AJ, Tian, L, Plevritis, SK

“…Our data show that assembloids recapitulate human LUAD tumor-stroma spatial organization, justifying their use as a tool for investigating the spatial biology of human disease. Intriguingly, drug-perturbation studies identify drug-induced spatial rearrangements that also appear in treatment-naïve human tumor samples, suggesting potential directions for characterizing spatial (re)-organization related to drug resistance. …”

Signalling inhibition by ponatinib disrupts productive alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) by Kusuma, Frances Karla, Prabhu, Aishvaryaa, Tieo, Galen, Syed Moiz Ahmed, Dakle, Pushkar, Yong, Wai Khang, Pathak, Elina, Madan, Vikas, Jiang, Yan Yi, Tam, Wai Leong, Kappei, Dennis, Dröge, Peter, Koeffler, H. Phillip, Jeitany, Maya

“…By performing anti-cancer compound library screen on isogenic cell lines and using extrachromosomal telomeric C-circles, as a bona fide marker of ALT activity, we identify a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib that deregulates ALT mechanisms, induces telomeric dysfunction, reduced ALT-associated telomere synthesis, and targets, in vivo, ALT-positive cells. …”
