Exosomes as Mediators of Cell-to-Cell Communication in Thyroid Disease [PDF]

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2020
Exosomes are a type of extracellular vehicle, formed by budding cell membranes, containing proteins, DNA, and RNA. Concentrated cargoes from parent cells are enveloped in exosomes, which are cell specific and may have functions in the recipient cell ...

Docosahexaenoic fatty acid reduces the pro‐inflammatory response induced by IL-1β in astrocytes through inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 transcription factor activation

BMC Neuroscience, 2021
Background Astrocytes are responsible for a broad range of functions that maintain homeostasis in the brain. However, their response to the pro-inflammatory cytokines released by activated microglia in various neurological pathologies may exacerbate ...

Loss of fiber cell communication may contribute to the development of cataracts of many different etiologies

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The lens is an avascular organ that is supported by an internal circulation of water and solutes. This circulation is driven by ion pumps, channels and transporters in epithelial cells and by ion channels in fiber cells and is maintained by fiber-fiber ...

Communicator Extraordinaire: Extracellular Vesicles in the Tumor Microenvironment Are Essential Local and Long-Distance Mediators of Cancer Metastasis

Biomedicines, 2023
Human tumors are increasingly being described as a complex “ecosystem”, that includes many different cell types, secreted growth factors, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, and microvessels, that altogether create the tumor microenvironment (TME ...

Modeling Cell-to-Cell Communication Networks Using Response-Time Distributions. [PDF]

, 2018
Cell-to-cell communication networks have critical roles in coordinating diverse organismal processes, such as tissue development or immune cell response. However, compared with intracellular signal transduction networks, the function and engineering

Visfatin reduces gap junction mediated cell-to-cell communication in proximal tubule-derived epithelial cells [PDF]

, 2013
Background/Aims: In the current study we examined if the adipocytokine, visfatin, alters connexin-mediated intercellular communication in proximal tubule-derived epithelial cells.

Downregulation of stromal syntenin sustains AML development

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023
The crosstalk between cancer and stromal cells plays a critical role in tumor progression. Syntenin is a small scaffold protein involved in the regulation of intercellular communication that is emerging as a target for cancer therapy.

A role for the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor in cell-cell communication in pancreatic islets of langerhans [PDF]

, 2008
Background: The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is expressed in many tissues that are not associated with Ca2+ homeostasis, including the endocrine cells in pancreatic islets of Langerhans.

Expanding cellular coverage via cell-edge deployment in heterogeneous networks: spectral efficiency and backhaul power consumption perspectives [PDF]

, 2014
Heterogeneous small-cell networks (HetNets) are considered to be a standard part of future mobile networks where operator/consumer deployed small-cells, such as femtocells, relays, and distributed antennas (DAs), complement the existing macrocell ...
