Adv Exp Med Biol . 2023 Apr; 1408:309-328. PMID: 37093435
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β) regulates a plethora of cell-intrinsic processes that modulate tumor progression in a context-dependent manner. Thus, although TGF-β acts as a tumor suppressor in the early stages...

Villar V, Allega M, Deshmukh R, Ackermann T, Nakasone M, Vande Voorde J, et al.
Nat Chem Biol . 2022 Oct; 19(3):292-300. PMID: 36280791
Glutamine synthetase (GS) activity is conserved from prokaryotes to humans, where the ATP-dependent production of glutamine from glutamate and ammonia is essential for neurotransmission and ammonia detoxification. Here, we show...

Mol Metab . 2022 Jun; 63:101532. PMID: 35752287
Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have immunomodulatory and regenerative potential. However, culture conditions govern their metabolic processes and therapeutic efficacy. Here we show that culturing donor-derived MSCs in Plasmax™,...

Mojsilovic S, Mojsilovic S, Villar V, Santibanez J
Anal Cell Pathol (Amst) . 2021 Sep; 2021:5523055. PMID: 34476174
Besides transformed cells, the tumors are composed of various cell types that contribute to undesirable tumor progression. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant innate immune cells in the tumor...
