PIEZO Force Sensors and the Heart
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in BiologyThe PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 membrane proteins form uniquely structured calcium permeable nonselective cation channels dedicated to mechanical force sensing in eukaryotic cells. In this review of the scientific literature, we address PIEZOs in the heart. PIEZOs enable the formation of the aortic valve, cardiac vasculature, and pericardial drainage.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Extracellular vesicle (EV) lipidomic profiling of plasma and ascites from patients with high‐grade serous ovarian cancer and of ovarian cancer cell lines reveals enrichment of triglycerides (TGs), diacylglycerols (DGs), phosphatidylcholine (PCs), sphingomyelins (SMs), reflecting tumor metabolic reprogramming.

Modeling, Design and Simulation of Micro-Force Sensor Based on PVDF
, 2015 At present, by existing sensors, sub-mu N micro-force in micro-assembly is not able to be reliably measured. In this paper, using PVDF film as the sensitive element and using micro-force sensor based on PVDF as the research object are to establish the ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Loss of NAPRT promotes lung tumor initiation and growth through a noncanonical mechanism, independent of its role in NAD+ biosynthesis. Mechanistically, NAPRT depletion activates the mTORC2‐driven AKT/β‐catenin signaling axis to enhance clonogenic and invasive phenotypes. Furthermore, lung‐specific Naprt deletion significantly increases tumor burden in

Identification of parameters for a Stewart platform-based force/torque sensor
, 2004 In this paper, the mechanical configuration and the principle of the measurement for a Stewart platform-based multi-component force/torque sensor is introduced. A novel calibration method for geometric parameters is presented, which is to connect a fixed

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutics whose effects on cellular mechanics remain poorly understood. We show that paclitaxel induces rapid cellular contraction by promoting GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and non‐muscle myosin II activation through RhoA/ROCK.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations are highly recurrent in multiple human cancer types, including cholangiocarcinoma and glioma. IDH1 R132C is the most common IDH1 mutation in cholangiocarcinoma and likely arises from APOBEC3A‐ or APOBEC3B‐mediated deamination.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study identifies ARHGAP5, in addition to the frequently mutated ARHGAP35, as significantly mutated in endometrial cancer. Mutations in both genes co‐occur and are associated with their correlated downregulation. Functional CRISPR studies show that both paralogs regulate similar pathways, including actin cytoskeleton organization.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We established the avian chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay as a scalable in vivo model for studying circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Human gastrointestinal tumors spontaneously released genetically validated CTCs that were detected across multiple platforms, demonstrating that the CAM model provides an accessible tool for investigating early cancer ...
