Role of the Ste20‐like kinase SLK in podocyte adhesion
Physiological ReportsSLK controls the cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, and migration. Podocyte‐specific deletion of SLK in mice leads to podocyte injury as mice age and exacerbates injury in experimental focal segment glomerulosclerosis (FSGS; adriamycin nephrosis).

Designing stem cell niches for differentiation and self-renewal [PDF]
, 2018 Mesenchymal stem cells, characterized by their ability to differentiate into skeletal tissues and self-renew, hold great promise for both regenerative medicine and novel therapeutic discovery. However, their regenerative capacity is retained only when in

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

FEBS Open Bio, 2016 Lysophophatidylcholine (LysoPC) is an abundant constituent in human plasma. Patients with malignant cancer diseases have attenuated LysoPC plasma levels, and thus LysoPC has been examined as a metabolic biomarker for cancer prediction.

Caldesmon regulates actin dynamics to influence cranial neural crest migration in Xenopus [PDF]
, 2011 Caldesmon (CaD) is an important actin modulator that associates with actin filaments to regulate cell morphology and motility. Although extensively studied in cultured cells, there is little functional information regarding the role of CaD in migrating ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Peptide Bbeta(15-42) preserves endothelial barrier function in shock [PDF]
, 2009 Loss of vascular barrier function causes leak of fluid and proteins into tissues, extensive leak leads to shock and death. Barriers are largely formed by endothelial cell-cell contacts built up by VE-cadherin and are under the control of RhoGTPases. Here

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2001 Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is known to be located at the intersection between extracellular matrix and growth factor signaling pathways to regulate cell motility. We have shown previously that an activated form (BCR-FLTm1) of Flt-1 kinase, a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor, had a tubulogenic activity not only in endothelial cells but ...

Enterophilin-1 Interacts with Focal Adhesion Kinase and Decreases β1 Integrins in Intestinal Caco-2 Cells [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 Intestinal cell growth and differentiation are tightly regulated by growth factors and extracellular matrix components along the crypt-villus axis. We previously described enterophilin-1 (Ent-1) as a new intestinal protein associated with growth arrest and enterocyte differentiation.
