How Do Cancer Cells Create Cancer‐Associated Fibroblast Subtypes? Impacts of Extracellular Vesicles on Stromal Diversity

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the major component of the tumor stroma. This review will highlight the CAF subtypes within the tumor microenvironment and their role in tumor progression. CAF subtype induction by extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their significance, which we reported previously, are also discussed.

Abundance and size of hyaluronan in naked mole-rat tissues and plasma

Scientific Reports, 2021
Large amounts of ultra-high molecular weight hyaluronan (HA) have been described as the main cause of cancer resistance in naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber, NMR). Our work examined HA metabolism in these rodents more closely.

Dual Role of Natural Killer Cells in Early Pregnancy: Immunopathological Implications and Therapeutic Potential in Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion and Recurrent Implantation Failure

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This article elaborates on the role of NK cells in early pregnancy from multiple perspectives, including molecular mechanisms and therapeutic interventions. It also discusses how NK cell dysfunction contributes to RSA and RIF, aiming to provide insights for future research on NK cell mechanisms and clinical treatment of RSA and RIF.

Contribution of perineuronal nets to hyperexcitability in pilocarpine‐induced status epilepticus

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) and highly condensed ECM structures called perineuronal nets (PNNs) have been reported in human patients with epilepsy as well as some animal models of epilepsy. We studied potential ECM changes in a mouse model of pilocarpine‐induced status epilepticus (PISE) and their potential contributions to

Skin-specific knockdown of hyaluronan in mice by an optimized topical 4-methylumbelliferone formulation

Drug Delivery, 2021
Hyaluronan (HA) is abundant in the skin; while HA can be synthesized by the synthases (HAS1-3), HAS2 is the leading contributor. Dysregulation and accumulation of HA is implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases such as keloid scarring, lymphedema and ...

PEG‐23 glyceryl distearate, a multifunctional skin‐supporting material, upregulates the expression of factors associated with epidermal barrier and hydration

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Polyethylene glycol‐23 glyceryl distearate (GDS‐23) forms niosomes and penetrates the skin. Our results suggest that the pharmacological effects following dermal penetration of GDS‐23 may enhance skin homeostasis by improving barrier function and moisture retention.

The Landscape of SPP1+ Macrophages Across Tissues and Diseases: A Comprehensive Review

Immunology, EarlyView.
SPP1+ macrophages represent a conserved, disease‐associated population present across cancerous and non‐cancerous conditions, involved in immunosuppression, fibrosis, lipid metabolism, phagocytosis, and other cellular processes. This review highlights their shared molecular programmes across tissues, their interactions with stromal and immune cells ...

The impact of the receptor of hyaluronan-mediated motility (RHAMM) on human urothelial transitional cell cancer of the bladder. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Hyaluronan (HA) is a carbohydrate of the extracellular matrix with tumor promoting effects in a variety of cancers. The present study addressed the role of HA matrix for progression and prognosis of human bladder cancer by studying the expression and ...

Excessive hypercholesterolaemia during pregnancy as a risk factor for endothelial dysfunction in pre‐eclampsia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Excessive hypercholesterolaemia during pregnancy impairs maternal endothelial function, which, in turn, drives the development of pre‐eclampsia and may also contribute to the increased risk of later‐life cardiovascular disease in women.

Extracellular Matrix Signaling Cues: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2025.
Targeting ECM dysregulation: therapeutic strategies for disease intervention. Dysregulated ECM composition and biomechanics contribute to disease pathogenesis in cancer and fibrotic disorders. Physical modulation: Nanomedicine‐based strategies tune ECM physical properties (e.g., density, stiffness) to enhance drug penetration and therapeutic efficacy ...
