Low expression of CCKBR in the acinar cells is associated with insufficient starch hydrolysis in ruminants by Yan Cheng, Tianxi Zhang, Chao Yang, Kefyalew Gebeyew, Chengyu Ye, Xinxin Zhou, Tianqi Zhang, Ganyi Feng, Rui Li, Zhixiong He, Oren Parnas, Zhiliang Tan

“…A better understanding of the physiological mechanisms that regulate digestion patterns in ruminants could lead to an increased use of starch concentrates. Here we show more robust pancreatic exocrine function in adult goats (AG) than in neonatal goats (NG) by combining scRNA-seq and proteomic analysis. …”

Differences in neuronal ciliation rate and ciliary content revealed by systematic imaging-based analysis of hiPSC-derived models across protocols by Walther Haenseler, Melanie Eschment, Melanie Eschment, Beth Evans, Marta Brasili, Marta Brasili, Joana Figueiro-Silva, Fee Roethlisberger, Fee Roethlisberger, Affef Abidi, Affef Abidi, Darcie Jackson, Martin Müller, Martin Müller, Sally A. Cowley, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu

“…Interestingly, we found that while GPR161 signal almost completely disappeared from cilia upon Sonic hedgehog (SHH) stimulation in NSCs and immature neurons, this was not the case in more mature neurons, suggesting a possible developmental time window for cilia-dependent SHH signaling.ConclusionTaken together, our results provide a systematic description of cilia in hiPSC-derived neuronal cells generated with different protocols, underscoring the importance of selecting the optimal model system and controls for investigating primary cilia in hiPSC-derived neuronal cells.…”
