Targeting integrin αVβ3–Ptgs2–mTOR signaling rescues bone formation in osteoporosis: from molecular mechanism toward therapy [PDF]
Background Integrin αVβ3, a key ECM receptor, is essential for bone metabolism, yet its role in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) remains unclear. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms by which integrin αVβ3 regulates osteoblast function and ...

Involvement of integrin αvβ3 in thyroid hormone-induced dendritogenesis [PDF]
Activation and/or modulation of the membrane-associated receptors plays a critical role in brain development. Thyroid hormone (TH) acts on both nuclear receptors (thyroid hormone receptor, TR) and membrane-associated receptors, particularly integrin αvβ3

Interaction of integrin αvβ3 and fibronectin under fluid shear forces: implications for tumor cell adhesion and migration [PDF]
The interaction between integrin αvβ3 and fibronectin enables tumor cell adherence to endothelial layers under diverse hydrodynamic blood flow conditions, particularly in low shear stress regions.

Exploiting Integrin-αVβ3 to Enhance Radiotherapy Efficacy in Medulloblastoma via Ferroptosis [PDF]
Medulloblastoma, a malignant pediatric brain tumor, has a poor prognosis upon relapse, highlighting a critical clinical need. Our previous research linked medulloblastoma cell radioresistance to integrin-αvβ3 expression.

Integrin αVβ3 antagonist-c(RGDyk) peptide attenuates the progression of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament by inhibiting osteogenesis and angiogenesis [PDF]
Background Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), an emerging heterotopic ossification disease, causes spinal cord compression, resulting in motor and sensory dysfunction. The etiology of OPLL remains unclear but may involve integrin

Regulation of the integrin αVβ3- actin filaments axis in early osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells under cyclic tensile stress [PDF]
Background Integrins are closely related to mechanical conduction and play a crucial role in the osteogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cells. Here we wondered whether tensile stress could influence cell differentiation through integrin αVβ3.

FGF9, a Potent Mitogen, Is a New Ligand for Integrin αvβ3, and the FGF9 Mutant Defective in Integrin Binding Acts as an Antagonist [PDF]
FGF9 is a potent mitogen and survival factor, but FGF9 protein levels are generally low and restricted to a few adult organs. Aberrant expression of FGF9 usually results in cancer.

Integrin αvβ3-dependent pathogenic effect and therapeutic effects of DL-N2 combined with EGFR inhibitors in pancreatic adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Background Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by aggressive progression, pronounced stromal desmoplasia, and a limited response to targeted therapies.
