Modulating Integrin and Growth Factor Signaling With Peptides: Strategies to Synergistically Enhance Bone Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
It has been demonstrated that, in the bone extracellular matrix (ECM), integrins and growth factor receptors (GFRs) engage in synergistic signaling to guide bone healing and regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current strategies using ECM‐derived peptides to recreate the cellular microenvironment and harness synergistic ...

Discovery of small molecule inhibitors that effectively disrupt IQGAP1-Cdc42 interaction in breast cancer cells

Scientific Reports, 2022
The small GTPase Cdc42 is an integral component of the cytoskeleton, and its dysregulation leads to pathophysiological conditions, such as cancer. Binding of Cdc42 to the scaffold protein IQGAP1 stabilizes Cdc42 in its active form.

Caveolin-1 Phosphorylation Is Essential for Axonal Growth of Human Neurons Derived From iPSCs. [PDF]

, 2019
Proper axonal growth and guidance is essential for neuron differentiation and development. Abnormal neuronal development due to genetic or epigenetic influences can contribute to neurological and mental disorders such as Down syndrome, Rett syndrome, and

NNVA: Neural Network Assisted Visual Analysis of Yeast Cell Polarization Simulation

, 2019
Complex computational models are often designed to simulate real-world physical phenomena in many scientific disciplines. However, these simulation models tend to be computationally very expensive and involve a large number of simulation input parameters

Cdc42 turns the spindle [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2008
![Graphic][1] Epithelial cells are already polarized by the first division, as indicated by the presence of the apical marker ZO-1 (red) on the cells' inner surfaces. During development, epithelial cells need a little help figuring out which way is up.

The Novel Cdc42 Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor, Zizimin1, Dimerizes via the Cdc42-binding CZH2 Domain [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
Rho family small GTPases are critical regulators of multiple cellular processes and activities. Dbl homology domain-containing proteins are the classical guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) responsible for activation of Rho proteins. Recently another group of mammalian Rho-GEFs was discovered that includes CDM (Ced-5, DOCK180, Myoblast city ...

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.

Regulation of vacuolar H+-ATPase activity by the Cdc42 effector Ste20 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

, 2012
In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Cdc42 effector Ste20 plays a crucial role in the regulation of filamentous growth, a response to nutrient limitation.

Delivery of Pleckstrin‐Homology Domains Suppresses PI3K/Akt Signaling and Breast Cancer Metastasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current therapies curb tumor growth but not metastasis. Obscurin, a giant metastasis suppressor lost in breast cancer, restrains PI3K/Akt signaling but is impractical to restore. We deploy a mini‐obscurin, comprising the obscurin‐PH‐domain, which sequesters PI3K‐p85, potently suppressing invasion and metastasis.

Targeting Rac and Cdc42 GEFs in Metastatic Cancer

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The Rho family GTPases Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 have emerged as key players in cancer metastasis, due to their essential roles in regulating cell division and actin cytoskeletal rearrangements; and thus, cell growth, migration/invasion, polarity, and adhesion.
