An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Modulation of cell-matrix adhesions to affect mechanotransduction [PDF]
In cultured fibroblasts three types of cell-matrix adhesion with specific cellular localization and protein composition can be distinguished: focal complexes, focal adhesions and fibrillar adhesions.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

The influence of the extracellular matrix on cell behaviour [PDF]
Stem cell research has raised great interest in the scientific community as it has the potential to form multiple cell types and it is believed they hold the key to curing many diseases. However, there is a need for better understanding of how to control

Formation of atypical podosomes in extravillous trophoblasts regulates extracellular matrix degradation [PDF]
Throughout pregnancy the cytotrophoblast, the stem cell of the placenta, gives rise to the differentiated forms of trophoblasts. The two main cell lineages are the syncytiotrophoblast and the invading extravillous trophoblast.

Biochemical and biomechanical properties of the pacemaking sinoatrial node extracellular matrix are distinct from contractile left ventricular matrix. [PDF]
Extracellular matrix plays a role in differentiation and phenotype development of its resident cells. Although cardiac extracellular matrix from the contractile tissues has been studied and utilized in tissue engineering, extracellular matrix properties ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

The structure and function of hyaluronan-binding proteins in extracellular matrix assembly [PDF]
The chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) aggrecan forms link protein-stabilised complexes with hyaluronan (HA), via its N-terminal G1-domain, that provide cartilage with its load bearing properties.

Background: Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness characterized by progressive degeneration of the optic nerve. Elevated intraocular pressure, typically associated with glaucoma, exerts biomechanical strain on the optic nerve head, where ...
