Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

The Preventive Effect of Decorin on Epidural Fibrosis and Epidural Adhesions After Laminectomy
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Laminectomy is commonly performed to treat degenerative spinal diseases by reducing compression on the spinal cord and nerve roots. The postoperative epidural fibrosis and epidural adhesions may result in failed back surgery syndrome, which is ...

Remodelling of the fibre-aggregate structure of collagen gels by cancer-associated fibroblasts: a time-resolved grey-tone image analysis based on stochastic modelling [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In solid tumors, cells constantly interact with the surrounding extracellular matrix. In particular cancer-associated fibroblasts modulate the architecture of the matrix by exerting forces and contracting collagen fibres, creating paths that facilitate cancer cell migration.

The role of the coating and aggregation state in the interactions between iron oxide nanoparticles and 3T3 fibroblasts [PDF]
Physics Procedia 9 (2010) 266--269, 2011 Recent nanotoxicity studies revealed that the physico-chemical characteristics of engineered nanomaterials play an important role in the interactions with living cells. Here, we report on the toxicity and uptake of the iron oxide sub-10 nm nanoparticles by NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblasts.

Detection and characterization of Sp1 binding activity in human chondrocytes and its alterations during chondrocyte dedifferentiation. [PDF]
, 1997 We have detected DNA binding activity for a synthetic oligonucleotide containing an Sp1 consensus sequence in nuclear extracts from human chondrocytes. Changes in the levels of Sp1 oligonucleotide binding activity were examined in nuclear extracts from ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

In vitro toxicity and uptake of magnetic nanorods [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series 304 (2011) 012033, 2011 In this paper we investigate the internalization and cytotoxicity of nanostructured materials having the form of elongated rods, with diameter of 200 nm and lengths 1 - 10 {\mu}m. The rods were made from the controlled aggregation of sub-10 nm iron oxide nanoparticles.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Allogeneic human dermal fibroblasts are viable in peripheral blood mononuclear co-culture
Universa Medicina, 2014 BACKGROUND Transplanted allogeneic dermal fibroblasts retain stem cell subpopulations, and are easily isolated, expanded and stored using standard techniques. Their potential for regenerative therapy of chronic wounds should be evaluated.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Cell Types using Histone Modifications
, 2013 In cell differentiation, a cell of a less specialized type becomes one of a more specialized type, even though all cells have the same genome. Transcription factors and epigenetic marks like histone modifications can play a significant role in the ...
