Optimized scaffold-free human 3D adipose tissue organoid culture for obesity and disease modeling by Rafael Dariolli, Raphael Nir, Tova Mushlam, Glauco R. Souza, Stephen R. Farmer, Miguel L Batista, Jr.

“…As adipocytes maturate and accumulate fat, they develop organotypic characteristics, increasing the buoyancy effect, which causes the organoids to oscillate, complicating culture manipulation and rendering multiple handling steps difficult.Due to these challenges, most adipose spheroid and organoid models are scaffold-based, despite many cell types' ability to secrete extracellular matrix (ECM) components and self-assemble into aggregates. …”

12 Weeks of Combined Endurance and Resistance Training Reduces Innate Markers of Inflammation in a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis by Nathalie Deckx, Inez Wens, Amber H. Nuyts, Niel Hens, Benedicte Y. De Winter, Gudrun Koppen, Herman Goossens, Pierre Van Damme, Zwi N. Berneman, Bert O. Eijnde, Nathalie Cools

“…Interestingly, the number of CD80+ pDC positively correlates with the presence of IL-10-producing regulatory type 1 cells (Tr1), an important cell type for maintaining peripheral tolerance to self-antigens. In addition, decreased production of the inflammatory mediators, TNF-α and MMP-9, upon Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation was found at the end of the exercise program. …”
