RUNX2 Activation in Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors Promotes Muscle Fibrosis in Muscular Dystrophy
This study revealed a novel role of the chemokine‐TGF‐β1‐RUNX2 axis in determining the fate of FAP differentiation and modulating muscle fibrosis in patients and mice with muscular dystrophies. ABSTRACT Clinical evidence indicates concurrent muscle inflammation and fibrosis in muscular dystrophies (MDs); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying ...

An Opto‐Actuated Hydrogel for Cell Mechanoactuation and Real‐Time Force Monitoring
Researchers developed a mechanoactuated hydrogel interface where nanomachines exert forces on adhesion receptors and allow monitoring of traction force responses in real time. They demonstrate reversible talin recruitment, enhanced F‐actin polymerization, and a reduction in cell traction force when force is locally applied to focal adhesions of ...

ITM2B Truncation Promotes Migrasome Formation to Accelerate Renal Cell Carcinoma Growth
This study identifies truncated ITM2B as a regulator of migrasome formation in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. The ITM2B truncation not only facilitates migrasome formation by recruiting TSPAN4, but also sorts active caspase‐7 into migrasomes. The internalization of active caspase‐7‐enriched migrasomes by macrophages stimulates IL‐6 secretion to ...
