Improving periodontal regeneration outcomes with hyaluronic acid: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the clinical and radiographic efficacy of the adjunctive use of hyaluronic acid (HA) in regenerative periodontal surgery for the treatment of intrabony defects. Materials and Methods A systematic search identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving adult patients with intrabony defects who underwent ...

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

The interplay between dynamic regulation of ion‐channel gating and trafficking in cardiac arrhythmogenesis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cardiac cellular electrophysiology is modulated by multiple factors, including temperature, extracellular K+, heart rate/pacing frequency, and drugs. These modulators can have distinct effects on ion‐channel gating and transcription/trafficking over time.

Hyaluronan Receptors on Liver Endothelial Cells.

Trends in Glycoscience and Glycotechnology, 1996
結合組織の多糖類であるヒアルロナン (ヒアルロン酸、HA)は、肝臓の内皮細胞 (LEC) が受容体を介したエンドサイトーシスを行うことにより、循環系から極めて効果的に除かれる。肝硬変のような肝疾患が起こると、LECによるHAの取り込みが減少してHAの血清濃度が増加する。少なくとも2種の異なる受容体活性がLEC表層には存在する。そのひとつはカルシウム依存性で直接にはエンドサイトーシスには関与していないようである。もう一つはカルシウム非依存性でエンドサイトーシスを仲介する。受容体はコンドロイチン硫酸やデキストラン硫酸のようなHA以外のリガンドも認識するので、その点でスキャベンジャー受容体に似ている。高分子量HAは低分子量HAより受容体に対して高い親和性を持ち、受容体が認識する最小のオリゴ糖は6糖である ...

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

Keratan Sulfate: An Electroconductive Glycosaminoglycan at the Interface of Sensory Perception and Neural Signaling

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 8, August 2026.
Laboratory studies show KS has electroconductive properties with the ability to trap and transport protons in neurotransductive processes (Grotthuss proton shuttling). This maintains electrochemical gradients and fluxes at the neuronal cell surface in neural activation. Such processes are central to neuronal cell signaling and communication.

Tumor Plasticity and Microenvironmental Crosstalk as Drivers of Metastasis and Therapy Resistance

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
The graphical abstract is a schematic illustration of the bidirectional crosstalk between tumor plasticity and the tumor microenvironment (TME) in driving metastasis and therapy resistance. Tumor‐intrinsic factors such as genetic mutations and epigenetic reprogramming enable dynamic transitions between epithelial, mesenchymal, and cancer stem cell ...

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are dynamic regulators of tissue homeostasis and disease remodeling. In the healthy state, LECs coordinate interstitial fluid drainage, intestinal lipid transport, and immune trafficking and tolerance. Across disease settings, however, these same programs become maladaptively reprogrammed, contributing to barrier ...

3D Liver Fibrosis Models in Lab: A Novel Modality for Drug Screening

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Liver fibrosis is the common consequence of liver injury caused by a variety of chronic liver disorders. This condition leads to the development of more severe complications, particularly cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite abundant studies, the fundamental cell and molecular mechanisms of liver fibrosis are still unknown.
