Postnatal β1 Integrin Deficiency in Pancreatic Beta-Cells Impairs Function and Survival

open access: yes, 2017
Integrin β1 is essential for pancreatic beta-cell development and maintenance throughout life in rodents and human fetal islets. However, the effects of a postnatal β1 integrin knockout (β1KO) specific to pancreatic beta-cells of mice is undetermined. We generated mice with CreERT recombinase specific to the mouse insulin promoter (MIP), allowing us to

RAB5A Promotes Active Fluid Wetting by Reprogramming Breast Cancer Spheroid Mechanics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
RAB5A‐mediated unjamming enhances active wetting through distinct biomechanical processes: a) upregulation of specific integrin subunits, enhanced focal adhesions kinetics and activity; b) supracellular organization relying on nanoscale integrin clustering, and the formation of a stiff and collective actin cable; and c) softening of the spheroid core ...

A Mechanism for Ventricular Expansion in Communicating Hydrocephalus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This report investigates a new possible molecular mechanism for the pathogenesis of hydrocephalus. New research by Dr. Miles Johnston has found that the injection of anti beta_1 integrin antibodies into the ventricle of rats causes a drop in parenchymal ...

Integrin β1 is required for the invasive behaviour but not proliferation of squamous cell carcinoma cells in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes
Integrin β1 is both overexpressed and in an ‘active' conformation in vulval squamous cell carcinomas (VSCCs) compared to matched normal skin. To investigate the significance of integrin β1 deregulation we stably knocked-down integrin β1 expression in the

An Off‐the‐Shelf Artificial Blood Clot Hydrogel Neutralizing Multiple Proinflammatory Mediators for Pro‐Regenerative Periodontitis Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel is engineered to structurally and functionally mimic the blood clot by integrating PPR, CCS, and RSF nanofibers through in situ activation of PRP. In a rat periodontitis model, CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel effectively promotes periodontal tissue repair, attributing to neutralizing the multiple proinflammatory mediators, thus rebuilding a ...

Neutrophil‐Mimicking Nanomedicine Eliminates Tumor Intracellular Bacteria and Enhances Chemotherapy on Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) enrichment has been identified in colorectal cancer and its liver metastases. This study develops neutrophil‐mimicking nanoparticles with multiple targeting capabilities encapsulating metronidazole and oxaliplatin for antibacterial and anticancer purposes. This approach reverses the epithelial mesenchymal transition process

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Secreted Pyruvate Kinase M2 Promotes Lung Cancer Metastasis through Activating the Integrin Beta1/FAK Signaling Pathway

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Cancer cell-derived secretomes have been documented to play critical roles in cancer progression. Intriguingly, alternative extracellular roles of intracellular proteins are involved in various steps of tumor progression, which can offer ...
