Extracellular matrix protein composition dynamically changes during murine forelimb development
Summary: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an integral part of multicellular organisms, connecting different cell layers and tissue types. During morphogenesis and growth, tissues undergo substantial reorganization.

Quantitative proteomic characterization of lung tissue in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, eventually fatal disease. IPF is characterized by excessive accumulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the alveolar parenchyma and progressive lung scarring.

Differential regulation of extracellular matrix protein expression in carcinoma-associated fibroblasts by TGF-β1 regulates cancer cell spreading but not adhesion [PDF]
Cancer progression is characterized by a complex reciprocity between neoplastic epithelium and adjacent stromal cells. In ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, both reduced stromal decorin expression and myxoid stroma are correlated with ...

Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease that is characterized by cartilage degradation, synovial inflammation, and pain. Macrophages have been implicated in OA pathology, but the origins and functions of diverse macrophage subsets seeding the synovial joint tissue remain incompletely understood.

Transcriptional profiling of the ductus arteriosus: Comparison of rodent microarrays and human RNA sequencing [PDF]
DA closure is crucial for the transition from fetal to neonatal life. This closure is supported by changes to the DA’s signaling and structural properties that distinguish it from neighboring vessels.

Molecular Landscape of TP53/RB1 Co‐Altered Tumors Uncovers Emerging Therapeutic Vulnerabilities
ABSTRACT Background Although TP53 and RB1 co‐alterations play critical roles in promoting malignant development and progression, specific inhibitors targeting this co‐alteration are lacking. We performed a pan‐cancer analysis to characterize the biology of TP53/RB1 co‐alterations and identify therapeutic strategies.

Recent Advances in Orthopedic Tissue Engineering: Bridging Stem Cells and 3D Printing
This review highlights how diverse 3D‐printed scaffold platforms integrate with embryonic, mesenchymal, and induced pluripotent stem cells to guide musculoskeletal regeneration. By linking fabrication strategies with lineage‐specific cues and microenvironmental design principles, the article outlines emerging approaches that enable precise ...
