NaBC1 Boron Transporter Enables Myoblast Response to Substrate Rigidity via Fibronectin‐Binding Integrins

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cells transduce the rigidity of the environment into biochemical cues through mechanotransductive cascades that modulate cell behavior. Here, a novel role for the boron transporter NaBC1 is identified as a mechanotransducer involved in regulating cell behavior via specific crosstalk with fibronectin‐binding integrins.

Copy number variants suggest different molecular pathways for the pathogenesis of bladder exstrophy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 378-390, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Bladder exstrophy is a rare congenital malformation leaving the urinary bladder open in the midline of the abdomen at birth. There is a clear genetic background with chromosome aberrations, but so far, no consistent findings apart from 22q11‐duplications detected in about 2%–3% of all patients.

Advancing the Identification of Bioactive Molecules and the Construction of a Synergistic Drug Delivery System in Combating Lung Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), while holistic and historically esteemed, faces challenges in “miracle cures” due to slow onset, long cycles, and difficulty controlling quality. This study obtains the active ingredients, glabridin (GLA) and puerarin (PUE), from Ge‐Gen Decoction (GGD), developing a safe and effective drug delivery system, GLA‐PUE ...

Epithelial Cell Mechanoresponse to Matrix Viscoelasticity and Confinement Within Micropatterned Viscoelastic Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) viscoelasticity and spatial confinement regulate cellular processes such as cancer progression, yet their interplay remains poorly understood. By developing fibronectin (FN)‐micropatterned viscoelastic hydrogels mimicking breast cancer mechanics, this study explores breast epithelial cell mechanoresponse to ECM ...

Transcriptomic Profiling Unveils EDN3+ Meningeal Fibroblasts as Key Players in Sturge‐Weber Syndrome Pathogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sturge‐Weber syndrome (SWS) is characterized by leptomeningeal vascular malformations, leading to seizures and stroke. Analysis of 119 446 brain cells from SWS patients uncovered distinct cell heterogeneity and identified an EDN3⁺ meningeal fibroblast cluster, with WNT5A emerging as a potential key driver of SWS progression and a promising therapeutic ...

Extracellular Matrix Targeted MRI Probes

open access: yesAnalysis &Sensing, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Gadolinium based MRI probes targeted to ECM components, either proteins or enzymes, hold promise for accurate molecular characterization and staging of fibrotic diseases in vivo. Non‐covalent binding probes (1), reactive probes (2), and enzyme‐responsive probes (3) are discussed.

Recent Advancements in Lung Cancer Metastasis Prevention Based on Nanostrategies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with lung cancer. Nanomedicine can be used to prepare efficient drug delivery systems owing to their advantages and plays an important role in the synergistic antimetastasis of lung cancer. This comprehensive review summarizes the emerging nanostrategies against lung cancer metastasis based on the ...

The elusive scleral cartilages: Comparative anatomy and development in teleosts and avians

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The sclera of all vertebrate eyes is comprised of connective tissue, with some organisms developing cartilage within this tissue. A review of the cartilages that have been described in the vertebrate sclera and their anatomical relationships is discussed together with their potential homology.
