• Intercellular nanotube-mediated mitochondrial transfer enhances T-cell metabolic fitness and antitumor efficacy

  We found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) establish nanotubular connections with T cells in a Talin 2 (TLN2)-dependent manner and leveraged these intercellular highways to supply new mitochondria to CD8+ T cells. In this experiment we analyzed the transcriptional profile of T cells co-cultured with MSC containing MSC derived Mitochondria (MitoPositive), T cells co-cultured with MSC not containing MSC derived Mitochondria and control T cells.

• The_genomic_architecture_of_mesothelioma_

  The genome-wide landscape of somatically acquired mutations in mesothelioma has not been deeply characterised to date, but advances in DNA sequencing technology now allow this to be addressed comprehensively. Harnessing massively parallel DNA sequencing platforms, we will identify somatically acquired point mutations in all coding regions of the genome from patients with mesothelioma. In addition, using paired-end sequencing, we will map copy number changes and genomic rearrangements from the same patients.

• Egypt_Genome_Project___low_coverage_whole_genome_sequencing

  All humans outside Africa are descendants of the same single exit, usually dated at 50-70 thousand years ago. However, the route taken out of Africa is still debated. The two main candidates are a northern route via Egypt and the Levant, or a southern route via Ethiopia and the Arabian Peninsula. We are generating genetic data to evaluate these two possibilities. In this study we propose to generate low-coverage sequencing data for 100 Egyptian samples.
