Endothelial PDGF Signaling Dysregulation Impairs Testicular Interstitial Homeostasis in Diabetes
Testicular endothelial cells (TECs) function as central signaling hubs that coordinate interstitial homeostasis. Diabetes disrupts TEC‐derived PDGF signaling, silences the JUND‐MCL1 survival program in Leydig cells, and impairs peritubular function, leading to fibrosis and testosterone insufficiency.

A combinatorial extracellular matrix platform identifies cell-extracellular matrix interactions that correlate with metastasis [PDF]
Extracellular matrix interactions play essential roles in normal physiology and many pathological processes. While the importance of ECM interactions in metastasis is well documented, systematic approaches to identify their roles in distinct stages of ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibits high genetic and clinical heterogeneity that limits therapeutic success. Patient‐derived brain organoids and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) provide physiologically relevant models to study disease mechanisms and individualized drug responses.

MicroRNAs Associated with Shoulder Tendon Matrisome Disorganization in Glenohumeral Arthritis
The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides core support which is essential for the cell and tissue architectural development. The role of ECM in many pathological conditions has been well established and ECM-related abnormalities leading to serious consequences have been identified.

Nanorobots Sense Local Physiochemical Heterogeneities of Tumor Matrisome
The dissemination of cancer is brought about by continuous interaction of malignant cells with their surrounding tissue microenvironment. Understanding and quantifying the remodeling of local extracellular matrix (ECM) by invading cells can therefore provide fundamental insights into the dynamics of cancer dissemination. In this paper, we use an active

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.

Matrisomics: Beyond the extracellular matrix for unveiling tumor microenvironment
The matrisome, a group of proteins constituting or interacting with the extracellular matrix (ECM), has garnered attention as a potent regulator of cancer progression. An increasing number of studies have focused on cancer matrisome utilizing diverse -omics approaches.
