Ptr ToxA Interacts with a Chloroplast-Localized Protein

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, causal agent of tan spot of wheat, produces host-selective toxins that are determinants of pathogenicity or virulence. Ptr ToxA (ToxA), a proteina-ceous toxin produced by P.

Integrin function: molecular hierarchies of cytoskeletal and signaling molecules

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1995
Integrin receptors play important roles in organizing the actin- containing cytoskeleton and in signal transduction from the extracellular matrix. The initial steps in integrin function can be analyzed experimentally using beads coated with ligands or ...

Matrix Tropism Influences Endometriotic Cell Attachment Patterns

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of substrate stiffness and multicellular coculture on endometriotic cell attachment to extracellular matrix‐laden microarrayed islands is reported. This model investigates early endometriotic cell attachment, aiming to capture “lesion initiation events”.

N-Formyl Peptide Receptors Induce Radical Oxygen Production in Fibroblasts Derived From Systemic Sclerosis by Interacting With a Cleaved Form of Urokinase Receptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis, alteration in the microvasculature and immunologic abnormalities. It has been hypothesized that an abnormal redox state could regulate the persistent fibrotic phenotype ...

Precise Quantification of Angiogenesis in 3D Biomaterials Using in Vitro CAM Models: Enhancing 3Rs in Research and Minimizing in Vivo Dependency

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study develops elastin–fibrin scaffolds and evaluates angiogenesis using the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model. Advanced imaging with confocal microscopy and Indocyanine Green dye enables precise 3D quantification of vascular networks. Findings demonstrate superior microvessel visualization compared to micro‐CT using Microfil and Optiray 350 ...

Fluid shear stress induces cell migration and invasion via activating autophagy in HepG2 cells

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2019
Fluid shear stress (FSS) regulates the metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the present study, we aimed to study the role of autophagy in HCC cells under FSS.

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).

The αvβ6 Integrin Is Transferred Intercellularly via Exosomes*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Background: The αvβ6 integrin is up-regulated in cancer progression and metastasis. Results: This integrin is transferred via exosomes from prostate cancer cells expressing αvβ6 into αvβ6-negative cancer cells.
