MUC15 Ectodomain Architecture Regulates Integrin Clustering to Control Cancer Metastasis
This study uncovers a size‐dependent adhesion paradigm, demonstrating that the glycocalyx protein MUC15 suppresses pancreatic cancer progression by attenuating integrin activation, focal adhesion assembly, and YAP mechanotransduction. Integrating computational modeling and experimental validation, the work reveals a mechanical mechanism by which MUC15 ...

Methods for evaluating endothelial function: a position statement from the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Peripheral Circulation [PDF]
The endothelium holds a pivotal role in cardiovascular health and disease. Assessment of its function was until recently limited to experimental designs due to its location. The advent of novel techniques has facilitated testing on a more detailed basis,

Effects of therapeutic plasma exchange on the endothelial glycocalyx in septic shock
Background Disruption of the endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) is observed in septic patients and its injury is associated with multiple-organ failure and inferior outcomes.

Abstract Background and objectives Initially described as a benign acute cardiomyopathy, Takotsubo syndrome has been linked to elevated mortality rates. Emerging evidence suggests that unresolved myocardial inflammation may contribute to this adverse prognosis.

Three-dimensional low Reynolds number flows near biological filtering and protective layers
Mesoscale filtering and protective layers are replete throughout the natural world. Within the body, arrays of extracellular proteins, microvilli, and cilia can act as both protective layers and mechanosensors.

Endothelial Glycocalyx as a Regulator of Fibrotic Processes
The endothelial glycocalyx, the gel layer covering the endothelium, is composed of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and adsorbed plasma proteins. This structure modulates vessels’ mechanotransduction, vascular permeability, and leukocyte adhesion. Thus,

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives This study aims to evaluate the predictive factors associated with failed sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in a large, retrospective cohort of patients with early‐stage endometrial cancer (EC). Methods We retrospectively evaluated a series of EC patients who underwent laparoscopic SLN mapping with intracervical ...

Dynamic interplay between breast cancer cells and normal endothelium mediates the expression of matrix macromolecules, proteasome activity and functional properties of endothelial cells [PDF]
Background Breast cancer\u2013endothelium interactions provide regulatory signals facilitating tumor progression. The endothelial cells have so far been mainly viewed in the context of tumor perfusion and relatively little is known regarding the effects ...
