Layilin, a Novel Integral Membrane Protein, Is a Hyaluronan Receptor [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2001 The actin cytoskeleton plays a significant role in changes of cell shape and motility, and interactions between the actin filaments and the cell membrane are crucial for a variety of cellular processes. Several adaptor proteins, including talin, maintain the cytoskeleton-membrane linkage by binding to integral membrane proteins and to the cytoskeleton.

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...

Hyaluronic acid alters vessel behavior in CXCL12-treated HUVECs [PDF]
, 2018 Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a key component of the extracellular matrix known for absorbing water, swelling, and altering solid stress of tumors. HA’s anionic behavior may provide important biochemical effects toward tumor progression as well.

Inducers of epithelial mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells in malignant pleural effusions [PDF]
, 2016 The Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) plays a role not only in tumor metastasis but also in tumor recurrence. This process is believed to be tightly linked to the presence of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) however, it is still not clear which ...

Dissecting the role of hyaluronan synthases in the tumor microenvironment
The FEBS Journal, 2019 The tumor microenvironment is becoming a crucial factor in determining the aggressiveness of neoplastic cells. The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan is one of the principal constituents of both the tumor stroma and the cancer cell surfaces, and its ...

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

Hyaluronan, a Crucial Regulator of Inflammation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2014 Hyaluronan (HA), a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays a key role in regulating inflammation. Inflammation is associated with accumulation and turnover of hyaluronan polymers by multiple cell types. Increasingly through the years, HA

Responsive Polyelectrolyte Brushes in Applications: Functions, Stimuli, and Design Considerations
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.With advances in the synthesis of polyelectrolyte brushes, these coatings of surface‐grafted chains find uses in an increasing number of applications. This review summarizes three core aspects of these brushes: how they introduce functionality to surfaces; how external stimuli influence their properties; and what practical considerations should be ...
