Modeling Platelet P2Y$_1$/$_{12}$ Pathway to Integrin Activation [PDF]
arXivThrough experimental studies, many details of the pathway of integrin $\alpha_{\rm IIb}\beta_3$ activation by ADP during the platelet aggregation process have been mapped out. ADP binds to two separate G protein coupled receptors on platelet surfaces, leading to alterations in the regulation of the small GTPase RAP1.

Investigating the inner structure of focal adhesions with single-molecule localization microscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Cells rely on focal adhesions (FAs) to carry out a variety of important tasks, including motion, environmental sensing, and adhesion to the extracellular matrix. Although attaining a fundamental characterization of FAs is a compelling goal, their extensive complexity and small size, which can be below the diffraction limit, have hindered a full ...

Glucocorticoids Alter Bone Microvascular Barrier via MAPK/Connexin43 Mechanisms
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.Osteoporosis induced by Glucocorticoids (GCs) is a common complication of long‐term GC use in patients with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, often leading to an increased fracture risk. A 3D bicellular endo‐osteo microfluidic platform is developed to explore pathogenic mechanisms underlying GCs‐induced osteoporosis, highlighting a novel MAPK ...
