Enhanced Respiratory Chain Supercomplex Formation in Response to Exercise in Human Skeletal Muscle

Chiara Greggio, Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Xu Wang, Pooja Jha

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of multiple metabolic complications. Physical activity is known to increase mitochondrial content in skeletal muscle, counteracting age-related decline in muscle function and protecting against metabolic and cardiova ...

Concise Reviews: In Vitro-Produced Pancreas Organogenesis Models in Three Dimensions: Self-Organization From Few Stem Cells or Progenitors

Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio, Filippo De Franceschi

Three-dimensional models of organ biogenesis have recently flourished. They promote a balance between stem/progenitor cell expansion and differentiation without the constraints of flat tissue culture vessels, allowing for autonomous self-organization of ce ...

In Vitro Pancreas Organogenesis from Dispersed Mouse Embryonic Progenitors

Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio, Filippo De Franceschi

The pancreas is an essential organ that regulates glucose homeostasis and secretes digestive enzymes. Research on pancreas embryogenesis has led to the development of protocols to produce pancreatic cells from stem cells. The whole embryonic organ can be c ...

Artificial three-dimensional niches deconstruct pancreas development in vitro

Matthias Lütolf, Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio, Adrian Ranga, Samy Gobaa, Filippo De Franceschi

In the context of a cellular therapy for diabetes, methods for pancreatic progenitor expansion and subsequent differentiation into insulin-producing beta cells would be extremely valuable. Here we establish three-dimensional culture conditions in Matrigel ...

Definition of in Vitro Microenvironments to Characterize and Control Pancreatic Progenitor Expansion and Differentiation

Chiara Greggio

The pancreas plays a central role in metabolism. The exocrine pancreas, composed of ductal and acinar cells, secretes and delivers digestive enzymes into the duodenum where they contribute to food digestion. The endocrine pancreas, constituted by the islet ...
