Higher hemoglobin levels are associated with adverse heart rate variability in a middle‐aged birth cohort

Physiological Reports
High hemoglobin (Hb) levels within normal variation range are considered beneficial. However, lower Hb levels within normal variation range are associated with healthier cardiovascular traits. Heart rate variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS)

Macromolecular crowding and decellularization method increase the growth factor binding potential of cell-secreted extracellular matrices

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Recombinant growth factors are used in tissue engineering to stimulate cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Conventional methods of growth factor delivery for therapeutic applications employ large amounts of these bioactive cues. Effective,

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Extracellular Matrix and Atherosclerosis

Journal of UOEH, 2010
Many kinds of extracellular matrixes (ECMs) are mainly produced by smooth muscle cells (SMC) in both normal arterial walls and atherosclerotic lesions. In particular, type I, III, IV, V, and VIII collagens and elastin are highly expressed in atherosclerotic lesions.

Extracellular matrix in cardiovascular pathophysiology [PDF]

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2018
The extracellular matrix (ECM) actively participates in diverse aspects of cardiovascular development and physiology as well as during disease development and progression. ECM roles are determined by its physical and mechanical properties and by its capacity to both release bioactive signals and activate cell signaling pathways.

Extracellular matrix of the developing ovarian follicle

, 2006
There are many different types of extracellular matrices in the different follicle compartments. These have different roles in follicle development and atresia, and they change in composition during these processes.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins initiate cell death and extracellular matrix remodeling in the mammary gland [PDF]

, 2005
We have demonstrated that insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) production by mammary epithelial cells increases dramatically during forced involution of the mammary gland in rats, mice and pigs.

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Effect of Maternal Hyperglycemia on Fetal Pancreatic Islet Development

Biology
Hyperglycemia during fetal development disturbs extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and deposition patterns, which disrupts organogenesis and adult organ function. Although the ECM cooperates in pancreas development, little is known about the effects of
