Autocrine Sonic hedgehog attenuates inflammation in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice via upregulation of IL-10. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Hedgehog signaling plays critical roles in pancreatic oncogenesis and chronic pancreatitis, but its roles in acute pancreatitis (AP) are largely ambiguous.

Porcupine‐Quill‐Inspired Shape‐Morphing Biointerfaces Disassemble Biofilms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A porcupine‐spine‐inspired dynamic offensive bio‐interface is developed for active biofilm disassembly. By coupling electrically driven nano‐dagger penetration with light‐triggered ROS generation, the surface overcomes the passive limitations of conventional mechano‐bactericidal topographies, achieving near‐complete biofilm eradication, strong ...

Sacral Neural Crest‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Promote Pelvic Ganglion Repair Through Anti‐Pyroptotic Effects Involving ANXA1–FPR2 Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles derived from human pluripotent stem cell‐derived sacral neural crest cells promote repair of injured major pelvic ganglia and improve colorectal function. These vesicles reduce oxidative stress and pyroptosis, with ANXA1–FPR2 signaling contributing to their protective effects, and show a favorable therapeutic profile compared ...

The Characteristics of Tumor Microenvironment by the Single Cell Profile in Endometrial Cancer of no Specific Molecular Profile (NSMP) Subtype

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A subset of tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) characterized by SPP1 expression is discovered, which may remodel the tumor microenvironment by potentially promoting CD4+ T cell stress and maintaining epithelial cell stemness through SPP1‐CD44, thereby potentially contributing to the proliferation and migration of tumor cells, which has been verified ...

Acinar‐Derived Organoids Reveal Stage‐Specific Control of Acinar Plasticity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An acinar‐derived organoid system maintains adult pancreatic acinar identity ex vivo, converts it along an ordered acinar‐to‐ductal‐like trajectory, and then partially restores it. Each transition carries its own signal requirement, with EGF/EGFR initiating conversion and a staged glucocorticoid–IGF1R switch driving redifferentiation.

Fibrotic scar formation after cerebral ischemic stroke: Targeting the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway for scar reduction

Neural Regeneration Research
Recent studies have shown that fibrotic scar formation following cerebral ischemic injury has varying effects depending on the microenvironment. However, little is known about how fibrosis is induced and regulated after cerebral ischemic injury.

Palatability of geophyte underground storage organs partially explains their depth in the Cape Floristic Region, geophyte capital of the world

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The soil depth of underground storage organs (USOs) of geophytes involves cost–benefit trade‐offs and may relate to USO age, size, and disturbances such as fire and herbivory. Yet determinants of USO depth are poorly studied. We posit that belowground mammalian predation of USOs is a selective force for the positive relationship ...

A Novel NR3C1 Frameshift Variant Associated With Familial Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome: An Integrated Analysis of Steroid Profiling and Structural Modeling

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glucocorticoid resistance syndrome (GRS) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by pathogenic variants in NR3C1, characterized by marked phenotypic heterogeneity and frequent misdiagnosis as primary aldosteronism or subclinical Cushing's syndrome.

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

Role of hedgehog signaling in the pathogenesis and therapy of heterotopic ossification

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a pathological process that generates ectopic bone in soft tissues. Hedgehog signaling (Hh signaling) is a signaling pathway that plays an important role in embryonic development and involves three ligands: sonic hedgehog
