Check out my #PhD work Cell Reports. Through #singlecell #RNA sequencing, we discover an adipogenic regulatory cell type (Areg) in the skeletal #muscle that controls fat turnover. Huge implications for dystrophy patients that nearly have Aregs anymore. doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

Proud to share my latest publication "MICAL2 is essential for myogenic lineage commitment". We investigated the impact that MICAL2 has on skeletal and cardiac muscle in healthy and regenerating conditions. Check it out. #stemcells #skeletalmuscle ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Great FWO news! Maurilio Sampaolesi and his group received an FWO grant for the project: 3D vascularized cardiac organoid on-chip for modeling of dystrophic and mitogenic cardiomyopathy. #FWO #kuleuven #mitogenic #cardiomyopathy

Thanks to the international reporter Dorota Bawolek for interviewing professor Maurilio Sampaolesi today at Stem Cell Institute about stem cell regeneration and engineered sensors. carlo, Université libre de Bruxelles, European Space Agency #researchers Nefele Giarratana Vanja Miskovic Imma Greco @rodrigo_madeiro

An inspiring picture: professor Sampaolesi today is #mentoring @charlykeystman, postdoc from Universiteit Hasselt collaborating with us on the #interreg GYM project. #generateyourmuscle @maasuniversity KU Leuven

Happy to share the new GYM website, part of #InterregEurope. We will contribute to develop and commercially produce an innovative #stemcell #therapy for the treatment of patients with reduced #muscle mass, power and energy. generateyourmuscle.com @EnricoPozzoMD Nefele Giarratana

Final project from my PhD is out. Tissue damage induces a conserved stress response that initiates quiescent muscle stem cell activation. This one was a lot of fun. Great collaboration with Relaix Lab with @LeoMachadodo @PhiliMour frederic.relaix. cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

And of course with my PhD lab Sampaolesi Lab

Check out our latest publication where Nefele Giarratana et al. identified "guide" cells - a subset of vessel-associated cells by #scRNAseq. Guide cells are able to improve myogenic differentiation without fusing with newly formed fibers. Impressive, isn't it?! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33669272/

The Maurilio Sampaolesi Lab (Sampaolesi Lab) at Stem Cell Institute (Stem Cell Institute) optimize a protocol to generate chemically defined human-induced pluripotent #stem cell-derived #mesodermal progenitors. 📋 📰 CDD press 📎 go.nature.com/3wgfyTn

...non me lo sarei aspettata, ma mi sono trovata a scrivere di #sport e di ricerca sulle #cellulestaminali ! Ed è stato istruttivo e illuminante! Thanks to Bram Verbrugge #GYMproject Rosaria Aiello Nefele Giarratana #MaurilioSanpaolesi
