The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Focal adhesion kinase modulates tension signaling to control actin and focal adhesion dynamics [PDF]

, 2007
In response to alphabeta1 integrin signaling, transducers such as focal adhesion kinase (FAK) become activated, relaying to specific machineries and triggering distinct cellular responses. By conditionally ablating Fak in skin epidermis and culturing Fak-

Dissecting interactions within focal adhesions: studies on vinculin

, 2008
Vinculin and paxillin are proteins that localise to focal adhesions. Focal adhesions arespecialised sites of cell attachment between the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane andthe extracellular matrix.

Integrin-Associated Focal Adhesion Kinase Protects Human Embryonic Stem Cells from Apoptosis, Detachment, and Differentiation

Stem Cell Reports, 2016
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be maintained in a fully defined niche on extracellular matrix substrates, to which they attach through integrin receptors.

Exploring vaginal microbiota–tissue resident stem cell crosstalk: VCAM1/Akt signaling ‐mediated enhancement of regenerative capacity

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Vaginal microbiota‐derived secretory factors enhance the regenerative capacity of human endometrial stem cells by upregulating VCAM1 and activating PI3K/Akt signaling. This microbiota–stem cell crosstalk promotes self‐renewal, migration, multilineage differentiation, and metabolic reprogramming in vitro and in vivo, establishing a novel microbiota ...

Focal Adhesion Kinase as a Cancer Therapy Target

, 2010
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that resides at the sites of at focal adhesions. The 125 kDa FAK protein is encoded by the FAK gene located on human chromosome 8q24.

Focal adhesion kinase is a phospho-regulated repressor of Rac and proliferation in human endothelial cells

Biology Open, 2012
Summary Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is critically positioned to integrate signals from the extracellular matrix and cellular adhesion. It is essential for normal vascular development and has been implicated in a wide range of cellular functions including

Mechanical memory in aging: From adaptive sensing to pathological entrenchment

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Mechanical memory in aging operates through four temporal tiers, from cytoskeletal remodeling to metabolic reprogramming. Aging disrupts this cascade through three distinct decoupling patterns: sensor degradation, conduction blockade, and execution failure, leading to irreversible pathological entrenchment across multiple organ systems.

LncRNA FAISL Inhibits Calpain 2‐Mediated Proteolysis of FAK to Promote Progression and Metastasis of Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype in breast tumors. When re‐analyzing TCGA breast cancer dataset, we found cell adhesion molecules are highly enriched in differentially expressed genes in TNBC samples, among which Focal ...

AI‐Driven Rational Design of Nanotherapeutics for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a formidable malignancy characterized by late diagnosis, high recurrence rates, and pronounced chemoresistance. While nanoparticle‐based drug delivery systems (NDDS) offer theoretical advantages over conventional therapies, their clinical translation in PDAC has been severely limited.
