Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.TGF‐β has a complex role in cancer, exhibiting both tumor‐suppressive and tumor‐promoting properties. Using a series of differentiated tumoroids, derived from different stages and mutational background of colorectal cancer patients, we replicate this duality of TGF‐β in vitro. Notably, the atypical but highly aggressive KRASQ22K mutation rendered early‐

Cells, 2023 Integrins were originally identified as receptors for extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell-surface molecules (e.g., VCAM-1 and ICAM-1). Later, we discovered that many soluble growth factors/cytokines bind to integrins and play a critical role in growth ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This article advocates integrating temporal dynamics into cancer research. Rather than relying on static snapshots, researchers should increasingly consider adopting dynamic methods—such as live imaging, temporal omics, and liquid biopsies—to track how tumors evolve over time.

Systematic profiling of cancer‐fibroblast interactions reveals drug combinations in ovarian cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Fibroblasts, cells in the tumor environment, support ovarian cancer cell growth and alter morphology and drug response. We used fibroblast and cancer cell co‐culture models to test 528 drugs and discovered new drugs for combination treatment. We showed that adding Vorinostat or Birinapant to standard chemotherapy may improve drug response, suggesting ...

Integrins are required for synchronous ommatidial rotation in the Drosophila eye linking planar cell polarity signalling to the extracellular matrix [PDF]
Open Biology, 2019 Integrins mediate the anchorage between cells and their environment, the extracellular matrix (ECM), and form transmembrane links between the ECM and the cytoskeleton, a conserved feature throughout development and morphogenesis of epithelial organs ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Non‐thermal plasma treatment of melanoma cells induced epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a dose‐dependent fashion. This report highlights the critical need to further investigate potential adverse effects of non‐thermal plasma for cancer therapy and to optimize treatment parameters for clinical translation. Despite the promising results of non‐

Role of integrins in wound repair and its periodontal implications
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2018 Wound healing in human periodontium is a complex process which involves both cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Integrins play a major role in regulation of these cell-cell, cell-matrix interaction. Wound healing involves two major events i.e.

Integrin activation is an essential component of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Scientific Reports, 2021 SARS-CoV-2 infection depends on binding its spike (S) protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). The S protein expresses an RGD motif, suggesting that integrins may be co-receptors. Here, we UV-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 and fluorescently labeled the

EMT‐associated bias in the Parsortix® system observed with pancreatic cancer cell lines
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The Parsortix® system was tested for CTC enrichment using pancreatic cancer cell lines with different EMT phenotypes. Spike‐in experiments showed lower recovery of mesenchymal‐like cells. This was confirmed with an EMT‐inducible breast cancer cell line.

β1 Integrin Cell-surface Immunoprecipitation (Selective Immunoprecipitation)
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Immunoprecipitation (IP) is a widely used method to isolate a specific protein from a mixed protein sample using an antibody that exclusively binds to that particular protein.
