Abstract: Provided herein according to some embodiments is a method of detecting senescent cells and/or neurofibrillary tangles in a subject, comprising: assaying for the expression of CDKN2D in the brain of the subject; and comparing the amount of CDKN2D expression to a control, whereby increased CDKN2D expression relative to the control is indicative of the presence of neurofibrillary tangles in the subject. Methods of treating and monitoring a subject so identified are also provided.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for repair of shoulder injuries by employing disaggregated muscle fiber fragments to regenerate functional shoulder muscle tissue. In some embodiments, the fragments retain functional satellite cells but exhibit cell wall rupture and have an average size of less than 150 μm. The methods include the preparation and implantation of compositions by extracting muscle tissue from a donor site, disaggregating muscle fibers from the extracted tissue, and fragmenting disaggregated muscle fibers into fiber fragments that exhibit cell wall rupture and preferably have an average size of less than 150 microns, more preferable less than about 100 microns, while retaining functional satellite cells. Upon injection, e.g., into the supraspinatus or other rotator cuff muscles, the muscle fiber fragment compositions are capable of reconstituting or reconstructing elongated muscle fibers from the fragments and orienting in alignment with native shoulder muscle fibers.

Abstract: An extrudable hydrogel composition useful for making a three-dimensional organ construct is described herein. Methods of using the same and products so made are also described. Also described herein is a multicellular organoid including at least two tumor cells or cell lines that are of the same tissue type, but are distinct from one another (e.g., distinct in morphology, growth rate, and/or at least one mutation); and at least one type of non-cancerous (i.e., normal or differentiated) tissue cells, wherein the at least one type of non-cancerous tissue cells are of the same tissue type as the at least two tumor cells or cell lines. In some embodiments, the at least two tumor cells or cell lines and/or the non-cancerous tissue cells are labeled with and/or comprise a detectable compound, optionally so that each of the different cells can be distinguished from each other (e.g., optically and/or electrically distinguished).

Abstract: Described herein are devices useful for evaluating tumor cells in vitro, comprising: (a) a device having a chamber, and a channel in fluid communication with the chamber; (b) a live tumor cell construct in the chamber; (c) a growth media in the chamber and the channel; (d) a pump operatively associated with the chamber and channel and configured for circulating the media from the chamber through the channel and back to the chamber; (e) a microporous membrane in the channel and positioned so that the media flows therethrough. Methods of using such devices are also described.
