Regional fibronectin and collagen fibril co-assembly directs cell proliferation and microtissue morphology. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The extracellular matrix protein, fibronectin stimulates cells to self-assemble into three-dimensional multicellular structures by a mechanism that requires the cell-dependent conversion of soluble fibronectin molecules into insoluble fibrils ...

Plasma Fibronectin as a Novel Predictor of Coronary Heart Disease: A Retrospective Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Although fibronectin has been associated with the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, little is currently known about the relationship between plasma fibronectin and coronary heart disease (CHD).

JMJD6 Dysfunction Due to Iron Deficiency in Preeclampsia Disrupts Fibronectin Homeostasis Resulting in Diminished Trophoblast Migration

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The mechanisms contributing to excessive fibronectin in preeclampsia, a pregnancy-related disorder, remain unknown. Herein, we investigated the role of JMJD6, an O2- and Fe2+-dependent enzyme, in mediating placental fibronectin processing and function ...

Fibronectin Deposition Participates in Extracellular Matrix Assembly and Vascular Morphogenesis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The extracellular matrix (ECM) has been demonstrated to facilitate angiogenesis. In particular, fibronectin has been documented to activate endothelial cells, resulting in their transition from a quiescent state to an active state in which the cells ...

Full-Length Fibronectin Drives Fibroblast Accumulation at the Surface of Collagen Microtissues during Cell-Induced Tissue Morphogenesis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Generating and maintaining gradients of cell density and extracellular matrix (ECM) components is a prerequisite for the development of functionality of healthy tissue. Therefore, gaining insights into the drivers of spatial organization of cells and the

Conformational changes of exogenous deposited fibronectin on decellularized aortic conduits after implantation

Vietnam Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering, 2022
Fibronectin is an abundant and ubiquitous extracellular matrix component that regulates a wide range of cell functions by directly interacting with cell surface integrin receptors.

Fibronectin glomerulopathy [PDF]

Clinical Kidney Journal, 2013
Fibronectin glomerulopathy occurs between the second and fifth decades of life in most patients, and it is known to be slowly progressive with mild proteinuria leading to kidney failure. The case of a 78-year-old woman with a rapid course of nephrotic syndrome due to fibronectin glomerulopathy is reported.

Fibronectin promotes tumor angiogenesis and progression of non-small-cell lung cancer by elevating WISP3 expression via FAK/MAPK/ HIF-1α axis and activating wnt signaling pathway

Experimental Hematology & Oncology, 2023
Background Fibronectin, an extracellular matrix protein, has been reported to be associated with heterogeneous cancer stemness, angiogenesis and progression in multiple cancer types.

Fibronectin: structure, functions, clinical significance (review)

Атеротромбоз, 2022
Plasma fibronectin is a high molecular weight adhesive glycoprotein. There are two types of fibronectin: plasma (soluble) and cellular derived (insoluble).

Adhesion Characteristics of Human Pancreatic Islets, Duct Epithelial Cells, and Acinar Cells to a Polymer Scaffold

Cell Transplantation, 2022
We reported in 2018 that among several extracellular matrices, fibronectin, type I collagen, type IV collagen, laminin I, fibrinogen, and bovine serum albumin, fibronectin is particularly useful for adhesion of porcine pancreatic tissue. Subsequently, we
