Hydrogels Derivatized With Cationic Moieties or Functional Peptides as Efficient Supports for Neural Stem Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The increasing incidence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease represents a significant burden for patients and national health systems.

The atypical KRASQ22K mutation directs TGF‐β response towards partial epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in patient‐derived colorectal cancer tumoroids

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TGF‐β has a complex role in cancer, exhibiting both tumor‐suppressive and tumor‐promoting properties. Using a series of differentiated tumoroids, derived from different stages and mutational background of colorectal cancer patients, we replicate this duality of TGF‐β in vitro. Notably, the atypical but highly aggressive KRASQ22K mutation rendered early‐

Allosteric modulation of beta1 integrin function induces lung repair in animal model of emphysema. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Emphysema is a progressive lung disease characterised by loss of lung parenchyma with associated functional changes including decreased tissue elastance. Here we report beta1 integrin is a novel target for tissue repair and regeneration in emphysema.

The integrin-binding defective FGF2 mutants potently suppress FGF2 signalling and angiogenesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We recently found that integrin αvβ3 binds to fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-αvβ31 (FGF1), and that the integrin-binding defective FGF1 mutant (Arg-50 to glutamic acid, R50E) is defective in signalling and antagonistic to FGF1 signalling. R50E suppressed

A Monte Carlo study of ligand-dependent integrin signal initiation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Integrins are allosteric cell adhesion receptors that control many important processes, including cell migration, proliferation, and apoptosis. Ligand binding activates integrins by stabilizing an integrin conformation with separated cytoplasmic tails, thus enabling the binding of proteins that mediate cytoplasmic signaling.

Time, the final frontier

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This article advocates integrating temporal dynamics into cancer research. Rather than relying on static snapshots, researchers should increasingly consider adopting dynamic methods—such as live imaging, temporal omics, and liquid biopsies—to track how tumors evolve over time.

Tensin links energy metabolism to extracellular matrix assembly. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The regulation of integrin function is key to fundamental cellular processes, including cell migration and extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly. In this issue, Georgiadou et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol.

The Role of the Extracellular Matrix in Cancer Stemness

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
As our understanding of cancer cell biology progresses, it has become clear that tumors are a heterogenous mixture of different cell populations, some of which contain so called “cancer stem cells” (CSCs).

Interplay of integrins and selectins in metastasis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Here we review the role of integrins and their interplay with selectins in metastasis. The efficacy of integrin‐targeted therapies may be reduced in tumors where metastasis relies heavily on selectins. In certain tumors, integrins and selectins exhibit a synergistic interaction during intraperitoneal dissemination.

Integrins and p53 pathways in glioblastoma resistance to temozolomide

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2012
Glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumor. Surgical resection, postoperative radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide is the standard of care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
