Spatially resolved transcriptomic profiling identifies distinct signatures in parenchymal and vascular microenvironments in Alzheimer's Disease with Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology frequently coexists with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), in which amyloid beta (Aβ) deposits in cerebral blood vessels. Although anti‐Aβ immunotherapies can reduce parenchymal plaques, they often exacerbate vascular pathology.

GOT1 Inhibition Induces Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Pancreatic Cancer. [PDF]
Using tumor tissue engineering, we recreated pancreatic cancer and found that inhibiting glutamic‐oxaloacetic transaminase 1 (GOT1) induces extracellular matrix remodeling and secretome rewiring, as well as promotes cell death. ABSTRACT Pancreatic cancer cells rely on glutamine to sustain their survival in the stiff and poorly vascularized tumor ...

Characterizing the extracellular matrix transcriptome of cervical, endometrial, and uterine cancers
Increasingly, the matrisome, a set of proteins that form the core of the extracellular matrix (ECM) or are closely associated with it, has been demonstrated to play a key role in tumor progression.

Tissue, age, sex, and disease patterns of matrisome expression in GTEx transcriptome data
The extracellular matrix (ECM) has historically been explored through proteomic methods. Whether or not global transcriptomics can yield meaningful information on the human matrisome is unknown. Gene expression data from 17,382 samples across 52 tissues,

Induction of fibroblast senescence generates a non-fibrogenic myofibroblast phenotype that differentially impacts on cancer prognosis [PDF]
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) remain a poorly characterized, heterogeneous cell population. Here we characterized two previously described tumor-promoting CAF sub-types, smooth muscle actin (SMA)-positive myofibroblasts and senescent fibroblasts ...
