CaMKK2 Regulates Mechanosensitive Assembly of Contractile Actin Stress Fibers

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Stress fibers are contractile actomyosin bundles that guide cell adhesion, migration, and morphogenesis. Their assembly and alignment are under precise mechanosensitive control.

Novel Phosphotidylinositol 4,5-Bisphosphate Binding Sites on Focal Adhesion Kinase. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a protein tyrosine kinase that is ubiquitously expressed, recruited to focal adhesions, and engages in a variety of cellular signaling pathways.

Transient down-regulation of beta1 integrin subtypes on kidney carcinoma cells is induced by mechanical contact with endothelial cell membranes [PDF]

, 2007
Adhesion molecules of the integrin beta1 family are thought to be involved in the malignant progression renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Still, it is not clear how they contribute to this process.

Abnormal Endothelial Gene Expression Associated With Early Coronary Atherosclerosis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background We examined feasibility of a unique approach towards gaining insight into heritable risk for early atherosclerosis: surveying gene expression by endothelial cells from living subjects. Methods and Results Subjects aged

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

A direct interaction between fascin and microtubules contributes to adhesion dynamics and cell migration [PDF]

, 2015
Fascin is an actin-binding and bundling protein that is highly upregulated in most epithelial cancers. Fascin promotes cell migration and adhesion dynamics in vitro and tumour cell metastasis in vivo.

ADAM23 in Cardiomyocyte Inhibits Cardiac Hypertrophy by Targeting FAK‐AKT Signaling

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Cardiac hypertrophy has been recognized as an important independent risk factor for the development of heart failure and increases the risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality.

AMBRA1 and FAK1: crosstalking for improved targeted therapy in melanoma

Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021
Through genetically engineered mouse models of melanoma, we identified Autophagy/beclin 1 regulator 1 (Ambra1) as novel tumor-suppressor in melanoma. In these settings, loss of Ambra1 associated with the hyperactivation of focal adhesion kinase 1 (Fak1 ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
