Exploiting Integrin-αVβ3 to Enhance Radiotherapy Efficacy in Medulloblastoma via Ferroptosis

Current Oncology
Medulloblastoma, a malignant pediatric brain tumor, has a poor prognosis upon relapse, highlighting a critical clinical need. Our previous research linked medulloblastoma cell radioresistance to integrin-αvβ3 expression.

Conformation-dependent binding of a Tetrastatin peptide to αvβ3 integrin decreases melanoma progression through FAK/PI3K/Akt pathway inhibition

Scientific Reports, 2018
Tetrastatin, a 230 amino acid sequence from collagen IV, was previously demonstrated to inhibit melanoma progression. In the present paper, we identified the minimal active sequence (QKISRCQVCVKYS: QS-13) that reproduced the anti-tumor effects of whole ...

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Lung Pericytes: Molecular Mechanisms, Signaling Pathways, and Roles in Pulmonary Diseases

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 4, August 2026.
Central role of pericytes across major pulmonary diseases. Conceptual wheel diagram illustrating the central role of lung pericytes across diverse pulmonary disease states. A pericyte positioned at the center expresses canonical markers, including PDGFRβ, CD146, and NG2, and connects radially to five major disease contexts.

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

Influence of integrin αvβ3 and αvβ5 silencing on sensitivity of tumor cells to cisplatin [PDF]

, 2012
Integrini su transmembranski proteini sastavljeni od α i β podjedinica koji sudjeluju u interakciji između stanica i izvanstaničnog matriksa. Integrini αvβ3 i αvβ5 su eksprimirani na endotelnim stanicama u angiogenezi i na stanicama mnogih tumora i stoga
