Electrostatic Affinities and Binding Kinetics among $α_2\textrm{I}$ Integrin Domains, Divalent Cations and 21-mer Collagen Fragment [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
This paper compares simulation results and experimental published data concerning the interaction between $\alpha_2\beta_1$ integrin and collagen.This phenomenon is characterized by a competition among steric, reciprocal orientation constraints of the two structures and long range electrostatic force. The published experimental results shown that the $\

Bioengineering facets of the tumor microenvironment in 3D tumor models: insights into cellular, biophysical and biochemical interactions

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, multifaceted complex system of interdependent cellular, biochemical, and biophysical components. Three‐dimensional in vitro models of the tumor microenvironment enable a better understanding of these interactions and their impact on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.

Identification of integrin drug targets for 17 solid tumor types. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Integrins are contributors to remodeling of the extracellular matrix and cell migration. Integrins participate in the assembly of the actin cytoskeleton, regulate growth factor signaling pathways, cell proliferation, and control cell motility.

16 kDa vasoinhibin binds to integrin alpha5 beta1 on endothelial cells to induce apoptosis

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2018
Many functions of vasoinhibins have been reported, but its receptor has not been clarified yet. Vasoinhibins, 11–18 kDa N-terminal fragments of prolactin, have anti-angiogenic activity and act on endothelial cells to induce apoptosis and to inhibit ...

Molecular Tuning of Filamin A Activities in the Context of Adhesion and Migration

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The dynamic organization of actin cytoskeleton meshworks relies on multiple actin-binding proteins endowed with distinct actin-remodeling activities. Filamin A is a large multi-domain scaffolding protein that cross-links actin filaments with orthogonal ...

Matrigel inhibits elongation and drives endoderm differentiation in aggregates of mouse embryonic stem cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Stem cell‐based embryo models (SCBEMs) are valuable to study early developmental milestones. Matrigel, a basement membrane matrix, is a critical substrate used in various SCBEM protocols, but its role in driving stem cell lineage commitment is not clearly defined.

Integrin-mediated membrane blebbing is dependent on the NHE1 and NCX1 activities. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Integrin-mediated signal transduction and membrane blebbing have been well studied to modulate cell adhesion, spreading and migration^1-6^. However, the relationship between membrane blebbing and integrin signaling has not been explored.

Coordinated Regulation of Metabolic Transporters and Migration/Invasion by Carbonic Anhydrase IX

open access: yesMetabolites, 2018
Hypoxia is a prominent feature of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and cancer cells must dynamically adapt their metabolism to survive in these conditions. A major consequence of metabolic rewiring by cancer cells in hypoxia is the accumulation of acidic

Model systems for studying cell adhesion and biomimetic actin networks

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014
Many cellular processes, such as migration, proliferation, wound healing and tumor progression are based on cell adhesion. Amongst different cell adhesion molecules, the integrin receptors play a very significant role.
