Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Metastatic uveal melanoma generally responds poorly to immunotherapy. The aim here was to sequence tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from uveal melanoma metastases to study their phenotypes and T-cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes. We performed paired single-cell transcriptome and TCR sequencing using the 10x Genomics platform of IL2-expanded tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from 7 liver and 1 subcutaneous metastasis.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
Project description:We analyzed cell-free microRNAs (cfmiRs) in blood, tissue, and urine samples of melanoma patients to find potential biomarkers for monitoring and assessing early detection of melanoma metastasis. This study demonstrates that identifying cfmiR signatures in body fluids may allow for detection and assessment of melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) and metastatic melanoma patients undergoing checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy treatments.
