Extracellular Matrix Composition and Remodeling: Current Perspectives on Secondary Palate Formation, Cleft Lip/Palate, and Palatal Reconstruction

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
Craniofacial development comprises a complex process in humans in which failures or disturbances frequently lead to congenital anomalies. Cleft lip with/without palate (CL/P) is a common congenital anomaly that occurs due to variations in craniofacial ...

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,

Cell contraction induces long-ranged stress stiffening in the extracellular matrix [PDF]

, 2017
Animal cells in tissues are supported by biopolymer matrices, which typically exhibit highly nonlinear mechanical properties. While the linear elasticity of the matrix can significantly impact cell mechanics and functionality, it remains largely unknown ...

Transcriptional network analysis of PTEN‐protein‐deficient prostate tumors reveals robust stromal reprogramming and signs of senescent paracrine communication

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

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)

Extracellular matrix remodelling in response to venous hypertension: proteomics of human varicose veins. [PDF]

, 2016
AIMS: Extracellular matrix remodelling has been implicated in a number of vascular conditions, including venous hypertension and varicose veins. However, to date, no systematic analysis of matrix remodelling in human veins has been performed. METHODS AND

Cell surface interactome analysis identifies TSPAN4 as a negative regulator of PD‐L1 in melanoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using cell surface proximity biotinylation, we identified tetraspanin TSPAN4 within the PD‐L1 interactome of melanoma cells. TSPAN4 negatively regulates PD‐L1 expression and lateral mobility by limiting its interaction with CMTM6 and promoting PD‐L1 degradation.

Extracellular Matrix in Aging Aorta

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The aging population is booming all over the world and arterial aging causes various age-associated pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The aorta is the largest elastic artery, and transforms pulsatile flow generated by the left ventricle
