GOT1 Inhibition Induces Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Direct Extracellular Matrix Modulation Attenuates Intestinal Fibrosis via a Fibronectin‐Targeted Approach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibronectin regulates the extracellular matrix (ECM)–myofibroblast cycle through three key steps: (1) its secretion and assembly by myofibroblasts (inhibited by pUR4); (2) collagen deposition along its scaffold (inhibited by R1R2); and (3) integrin α5β1‐mediated mechanotransduction (inhibited by ATN161).

Quantifying the surface chemistry of 3D matrices in situ [PDF]

, 2014
Despite the major role of the matrix (the insoluble environment around cells) in physiology and pathology, there are very few and limited methods that can quantify the surface chemistry of a 3D matrix such as a biomaterial or tissue ECM.

Analysis of cancer cell line and tissue RNA sequencing data reveals an essential and dark matrisome

Matrix Biology Plus
Extracellular matrix remodeling is a hallmark of tissue development, homeostasis, and disease. The processes that mediate remodeling, and the consequences of such, are the topic of extensive focus in biomedical research.

Endothelial PDGF Signaling Dysregulation Impairs Testicular Interstitial Homeostasis in Diabetes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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.

The evolution of metazoan extracellular matrix [PDF]

, 2011
The modular domain structure of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and their genes has allowed extensive exon/domain shuffling during evolution to generate hundreds of ECM proteins.

Understanding Neurodegenerative Diseases From the −Omics Perspective: Lessons Learnt

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
As the population ages, certain neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are becoming a major health issue. For this reason, this review will focus on the most common ND with onset after 65 years old; Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.

Epithelial cell integrin beta1 is required for developmental angiogenesis in the pituitary gland [PDF]

, 2016
As a key component of the vertebrate neuroendocrine system, the pituitary gland relies on the progressive and coordinated development of distinct hormone-producing cell types and an invading vascular network. The molecular mechanisms that drive formation

Injectable Biomimetic Composite Hydrogel Scaffold With Tissue‐Engineered Cartilage Matrix for Articular Cartilage Regeneration

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Articular cartilage regeneration remains a significant challenge because of its limited intrinsic healing capacity and the inadequacy of conventional treatments for restoring structural and functional integrity. In this study, a novel injectable composite hydrogel scaffold was designed to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of native ...

Thermo‐Chemically Modified Silk Scaffolds Reveal Niche‐Driven Regulation of Hematopoiesis and Fibrosis

Small, EarlyView.
We introduce a versatile 3D platform that recreates key physical and biological features of the human bone marrow. By integrating tunable silk biomaterials, stromal cells, and human hematopoietic progenitors, the model captures both healthy and diseased microenvironments, analysis of blood formation, and its disruption in pathological conditions ...
