SUSD2 Promotes Metastasis and Primary Tumor Growth in Pancreatic Cancer Cells via Integrin–FAK Signaling Activation

Cancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 3, Page 711-726, March 2026.
This study investigates the role of Sushi domain‐containing 2 (SUSD2) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and demonstrates that SUSD2 enhances both metastasis and primary tumor growth by promoting integrin β1–FAK signaling. SUSD2 interacts with integrin β1, enhancing adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen 1 and ...

P3.11 INCREASED CAROTID PLAQUE OCCURRENCE IN MEN WITH THE FIBRILLIN-1 2–3 GENOTYPE

Artery Research, 2009
Background: Fibrillin-1 is an important constituent of the vascular wall and earlier studies have indicated an effect of the fibrillin-1 2–3 genotype on blood pressure as well as aortic stiffness.

Treg cells retain stable lineage commitment during pregnancy in mice after late gestation inflammatory challenge

Immunology &Cell Biology, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 276-311, March 2026.
In this study, we used Foxp3‐fatemapping mice to examine the cell lineage stability of Treg cells in pregnancy. Ex‐Foxp3 cells were identified in gestational tissues. However, Treg cells retained lineage stability with no increased ex‐Foxp3 generation, regardless of inflammatory challenges that induce preterm birth.

Heat Shock Transcription Factor OsHsfc1a Enhances Rice Seedling Thermotolerance by Regulating OsMFT1 and Preserving Chloroplast Structure Under Heat Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1898-1915, March 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐temperature stress severely threatens rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and productivity, particularly during the seedling stage, making heat tolerance an essential breeding target. In this study, we identified the heat shock transcription factor OsHsfc1a as a positive regulator of thermotolerance in rice seedlings.

Segmental Stiff Skin Syndrome: A Rare Case Report from Indonesia

Berkala Ilmu Kesehatan Kulit dan Kelamin (Periodical of Dermatology and Venerology)
Background: This paper reports a segmental Stiff Skin Syndrome (SSS) case in a four-year-old girl.  SSS is a rare disease characterized by skin hardening and joint stiffness due to a mutation of the fibrillin-1 (FBN-1) gene encoding the fibrillin protein.

Fibrillin–integrin interactions in health and disease

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2008
Human fibrillin-1 is the major structural protein of extracellular matrix 10–12 nm microfibrils. It has a disulfide-rich modular organization which consists primarily of cbEGF (Ca2+-binding epidermal growth factor-like) domains and TB (transforming growth factor β-binding protein-like) domains.

Abnormal Activation of BMP Signaling Causes Myopathy in Fbn2 Null Mice.

PLoS Genetics, 2015
Fibrillins are large extracellular macromolecules that polymerize to form the backbone structure of connective tissue microfibrils. Mutations in the gene for fibrillin-1 cause the Marfan syndrome, while mutations in the gene for fibrillin-2 cause ...

Aqueous humor TGFβ and fibrillin-1 in Tsk mice reveal clues to POAG pathogenesis

Scientific Reports
Aqueous humor (AH) and blood levels of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) are elevated in idiopathic primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) representing a disease biomarker of unclear status and function.

Multi-exon deletions of the FBN1 gene in Marfan syndrome

BMC Medical Genetics, 2001
Background Mutations in the fibrillin -1 gene (FBN1) cause Marfan syndrome (MFS), an autosomal dominant multi-system connective tissue disorder. The 200 different mutations reported in the 235 kb, 65 exon-containing gene include only one family with a ...
