Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular

Fibronectin signals through integrin α5β1 to regulate cardiovascular development in a cell type-specific manner. [PDF]
, 2015 Fibronectin (Fn1) is an evolutionarily conserved extracellular matrix glycoprotein essential for embryonic development. Global deletion of Fn1 leads to mid-gestation lethality from cardiovascular defects.

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Expression of a beta 1-related integrin by oligodendroglia in primary culture: evidence for a functional role in myelination. [PDF]
, 1994 We have investigated the expression of integrins by rat oligodendroglia grown in primary culture and the functional role of these proteins in myelinogenesis.

Enhanced Integrin α4β1-Mediated Adhesion Contributes to a Mobilization Defect of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Diabetes. [PDF]
, 2016 Diabetes is associated with a deficit of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which has been attributed to their defective mobilization from the bone marrow.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived nanoghosts (MSC‐NGs) mimic naturally secreted extracellular vesicles (MSC‐EVs) in structure and physicochemical properties but can be synthesized at more translatable yields. As osteogenic agents, MSC‐NGs demonstrate superior outcomes compared to MSC‐EVs.

Molecular dissection of the mechanism by which EWS/FLI expression compromises actin cytoskeletal integrity and cell adhesion in Ewing sarcoma. [PDF]
, 2014 Ewing sarcoma is the second-most-common bone cancer in children. Driven by an oncogenic chromosomal translocation that results in the expression of an aberrant transcription factor, EWS/FLI, the disease is typically aggressive and micrometastatic upon ...

Thy-1 in Integrin Mediated Mechanotransduction
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored glycoprotein Thy-1 has been prevalently expressed on the surface of various cell types. The biological function of Thy-1 ranges from T cell activation, cell adhesion, neurite growth, differentiation ...

A Mathematical Model of Mechanotransduction [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 This article reviews the mechanical bidomain model, a mathematical description how the extracellular matrix and intracellular cytoskeleton are coupled by integrin proteins. The fundamental hypothesis is that differences between intracellular and extracellular displacements drive mechanotransduction.
