Polycystin‐1 (PC1) senses collagen and ECM stiffness to promote tumor migration via Daam1‐mediated actin remodeling. A cleavage‐resistant PC1 mutant enhances YAP nuclear translocation and CTGF expression, which activates CAFs and further stiffens the ECM, forming a feed‐forward loop that drives tumor progression and metastasis.

Integrin‐Piezo1 Axis Drives ECM Remodeling and Invasion of 3D Breast Epithelium
Mechanical stiffening of the extracellular matrix around mature mammary acini induces sequential remodeling phases. An early response disrupts the basement membrane and promotes fibronectin secretion, followed by delayed invasion with matrix reorganization and proliferation.

Geometrically Encoded Positioning of Introns, Intergenic Segments, and Exons in the Human Genome
This study introduces a new hypothesis: exons, introns, and intergenic segments are non‐random projections of the functional layers of 3D structure of chromatin packing domains. Evidence is presented that this “geometric code” may encode volumetric structure, reconciling epigenetic patterns, correlates with oncogenic mutations, acting as a potential ...
