ITGA5 as a Dual Regulator of Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition and Epithelial Cell Anoikis Resistance: Functional Validation and Drug Prediction

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Proteomics and functional validation reveal ITGA5 as a dual promoter of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition and anoikis resistance in human bronchial epithelium: targeting ITGA5 represents a novel therapeutic strategy for asthma airway remodelling. ABSTRACT Airway remodelling is a major contributor to persistent airflow limitation and irreversible lung ...

Myosin II isoforms play distinct roles in adherens junction biogenesis

eLife, 2019
Adherens junction (AJ) assembly under force is essential for many biological processes like epithelial monolayer bending, collective cell migration, cell extrusion and wound healing. The acto-myosin cytoskeleton acts as a major force-generator during the

Establishment of Human Formative Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Like Cells Exhibiting Amniotic Differentiation Potentials

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The hfPSC‐LCs could be established from naïve hESCs, conventional hESCs, hiPSCs, and human blastocysts. The hfPSC‐LCs hold robust capacity for three germ layers, hPGCLCs, and hALPCs. ABSTRACT Human embryos undergo pivotal morphogenetic remodelling shortly after implantation. The understanding of this crucial stage is severely impeded by the scarcity of

Force-dependent vinculin binding of α-catenin accelerates adherens junction formation

Cell Structure and Function
Adherens junctions (AJs) mediate cell–cell adhesion and mechanical coupling in epithelial tissues. During AJ formation, punctate AJs (punctum adherens; PA) initially appear and subsequently transition into linear AJs or zonula adherens (ZAs).

Bakuchiol: From structural mimicry to systems‐level skin biology

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Convergent outcomes, divergent mechanisms: bakuchiol vs. retinol. Bakuchiol exhibits functional convergence with retinol in improving extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal differentiation and barrier function, while operating through distinct mechanisms.

Beyond the Kidney and Lung: Cutaneous and Mucosal Clues to Human Hantavirus Disease

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Rodent exposure and aerosolized excreta can lead to hantavirus infection with systemic endothelial injury and capillary leak, resulting in thrombocytopenia and syndromes such as HPS/HCPS and HFRS/NE. Early dermatologic and mucosal findings, including flushing, conjunctival injection, petechiae/purpura, and mucosal bleeding, may provide important clues ...

Deep-brain stimulation associates with improved microvascular integrity in the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 2015
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has become an accepted treatment for motor symptoms in a subset of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. The mechanisms why DBS is effective are incompletely understood, but previous studies show

Diversity of Intercellular Communication Modes: A Cancer Biology Perspective

Cells
From the moment a cell is on the path to malignant transformation, its interaction with other cells from the microenvironment becomes altered. The flow of molecular information is at the heart of the cellular and systemic fate in tumors, and various ...

Transforming Growth Factor β/activin signalling induces epithelial cell flattening during Drosophila oogenesis

Biology Open, 2015
Although the regulation of epithelial morphogenesis is essential for the formation of tissues and organs in multicellular organisms, little is known about how signalling pathways control cell shape changes in space and time.
