Understanding exosomes in facial esthetics and skin aging

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Skin aging is a multifactorial process mediated by intrinsic (genetic and metabolic) and extrinsic (environmental) factors leading to functional and structural deterioration, including wrinkles, loss of collagen and elastin, as well as various pigmentation disorders.

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 ...

A Soft Matrix Microenvironment Promotes Laterally Spreading Tumors via Oxidative Phosphorylation‐Dependent Cell Adhesion

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 30, 28 May 2026.
Laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) are precancerous colorectal lesions characterized by a flat morphology. This study reveals a mechanochemical pathway through which a soft matrix microenvironment diminishes spatial constraints in intestinal adenomas. This process promotes deficiencies in tight junction proteins, mediated by the mechanoreceptor ADORA2B ...

Protein glycosylation in lung cancer from a mass spectrometry perspective

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 455-475, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Lung cancer is a severe disease for which better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Increasing evidence implies that aberrant protein glycosylation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer.

The anti-scarring effect of corneal stromal stem cell therapy is mediated by transforming growth factor β3

Eye and Vision, 2020
Background Corneal stromal stem cells (CSSC) reduce corneal inflammation, prevent fibrotic scarring, and regenerate transparent stromal tissue in injured corneas. These effects rely on factors produced by CSSC to block the fibrotic gene expression.

Targeting Tumor Stroma: Current Challenges and Future Directions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Figure 1. Mechanism of ECM reprogramming. Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs), cancer‐associated macrophages (CAMs), and other mesenchymal cells alter the ECM composition and increase its stiffness by depositing matrix components such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, and secreting cross‐linking agents like lysyl oxidase homolog 2 (LOXL2).

Endothelial Glycocalyx, Mucin, and Glycan: A Hierarchical Synthesis From Molecular Building Blocks to Supramolecular Functional Barriers

Microcirculation, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Glycans encode molecular information, but the endothelial glycocalyx is an organized, multicomponent supramolecular structure whose architecture integrates glycan cues into coherent vascular responses in vivo. The vascular endothelial glycocalyx (eGCX) is a flow‐conditioned, membrane‐coupled surface layer that mediates mechanotransduction ...

Thermoreversible Hyaluronan Hydrogels Support Mesenchymal Stem Cells Discogenic Differentiation in Vitro and Ex Vivo

Global Spine Journal, 2012
Introduction Hyaluronan is a proteoglycan widely present in the nucleus pulposus (NP) of the intervertebral disk (IVD). Recently, thermoreversible hyaluronan (HA) based hydrogels, which are injectable, minimally invasive, allow for encapsulation and ...

Extracellular Matrix Origin Directs Morphogenesis and Gene Regulation in Bioengineered Human Skin

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 15, 17 April 2026.
Fibroblast‐driven production of endogenous extracellular matrix is shown to be essential for guiding transcriptional programs and morphogenesis in biofabricated human skin equivalents. Constructs relying on native, cell‐produced ECM support physiological dermo‐epidermal junction formation and tissue architecture, whereas exogenous matrices promote ...
