Nephronectin regulates atrioventricular canal differentiation via Bmp4-Has2 signaling in zebrafish [PDF]

Development, 2011
The extracellular matrix is crucial for organogenesis. It is a complex and dynamic component that regulates cell behavior by modulating the activity, bioavailability and presentation of growth factors to cell surface receptors. Here, we determined the role of the extracellular matrix protein Nephronectin (Npnt) in heart development using the zebrafish ...

Assessing relational values of sacred landscapes through text mining of folktales: Insights from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2383-2392, July 2026.
Abstract Assessing relational values of nature through its cultural and spiritual significance is crucial for effective nature conservation. Folktales offer insights into traditional relationships between people and nature, and text mining is a powerful tool for extracting information from textual datasets.

Growth promoting effect of hyaluronan synthesis promoting substances on Japanese eel leptocephali. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Hyaluronans (HAs) are glycosaminoglycans produced in the bodies of Anguilliform and Elopiform leptocephali, and play a role in metabolic energy. In mammals, HA synthesis-promoting substances (HASPS) up-regulate the expression of HA synthase (HAS) and ...

Mechanistic Review of Topical Therapies Targeting Dermal Fibroblasts in Skin Aging and Rejuvenation

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Skin aging appears in multiple forms, including wrinkles, sagging, scarring, atrophy, and photoaging. Although each phenotype has distinct biological features, all are rooted in dermal fibroblast dysfunction. This review examines the molecular pathways underlying these conditions and evaluates topical interventions designed to ...

High level of RNA HAS2-AS1 in the buffy coat of a patient blood sample is a more informative prognostic marker of COVID-19 clinical course compared to the level of hyaluronic acid in plasma [PDF]

The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal
Numerous studies have confirmed the association of COVID-19 clinical course with the blood levels of hyaluronic acid and long non-coding RNA HAS2-AS1 as a positive regulator of hyaluronan synthase.

Assessing D‐Squame as a Minimally Invasive Technique to Evaluate the Cutaneous Immune Response mRNA in a Dog Model of Canine Atopic Dermatitis

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 353-364, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a multifactorial, inherited skin disease, estimated to affect ≤ 15% of dogs. Studies of skin messenger mRNA in cAD currently use invasive methods, including blood sampling and biopsy collection, whilst advances in human atopic dermatitis study methodology have demonstrated reliable use of minimally ...

Distinct Immunomodulatory Strategies Guide Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cell‐Mediated Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
Bone regeneration by mesenchymal stem cells is strongly influenced by immune signals. This study shows that priming stem cells with regulatory immune cells or an inflammation‐resolving lipid molecule enhances bone formation through distinct immune pathways.
