Report on in vivo efficacy of the reprogramming (opens in new window)

Inject Rpf-GSCs stereotactically in RNU rats. Quantify and spatially analyse the fluorescence. Animals bearing vascularised tumours (5-6/group) will receive ipsilaterally: (i) iR-NSCs (treatment group); (ii) PBS (-ve control); (iii) iNSC expressing TRAIL (+ve control). Image in vivo daily until regression or death. Perform histology for regression and target protein readouts ex vivo. Isolate and characterize EXs from iR-NSC organoids cultures, animal models (serum and urine) as in T1.2.

Report on the proof-of-concept animal studies (opens in new window)

Insert at least 3 devices to 3 groups of the models of D2.4 (5-6/group) via burred holes. Groups will receive additional implants as follows:(I) a reprogramming organoid; (II, positive control) iNSC expressing TRAIL (pro-apoptotic). (III, negative control), iNSCs without reprogramming miRNA. Daily measurements until regression or death: (i) distance between iR-NSCs and GBM; (ii) power and time required of RF for secretion, (iii) fluorescent signal at receiver. Histology will confirm if positive signal correlates with GBM recurrence.

Report on the deep learning algorithms and performance comparison for localization and prediction (opens in new window)

Investigate deep learning algorithms, suitable for localizing the GBM. The selection will be highly dependent on the granularity of the data collected from monitoring EXs, in particular for (i) localizing accurately through triangulation using molecular signalling concentration, and (ii) predicting an accurate estimate of cell population before and after the treatment.
