Loss of POGLUT2/3‐mediated O‐glucosylation produces lung and aortic phenotypes reminiscent of fibrillin1 mutants

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Taming Variability in T-Cell Mechanosensing

open access: yesCells
A central step in T-cell immunotherapy is the expansion of a starting population into therapeutically potent numbers of these “living drugs”. This process can be enhanced by replacing the mechanically stiff materials used for activation with softer ...

Vascular Mechanobiology: Towards Control of In Situ Regeneration

open access: yesCells, 2017
The paradigm of regenerative medicine has recently shifted from in vitro to in situ tissue engineering: implanting a cell-free, biodegradable, off-the-shelf available scaffold and inducing the development of functional tissue by utilizing the ...

Enviromics crosstalk between internal and external plant environments for enhanced adaptation and de novo domestication

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
Climate change demands accelerated plant adaptation and de novo domestication. Yet current enviromics focuses disproportionately on external environments, neglecting internal dynamics—gene expression, metabolic flux, and signal transduction—within predictive envirotyping frameworks.

Feeling Stressed or Strained? A Biophysical Model for Cell Wall Mechanosensing in Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Mechanical signals have recently emerged as a major cue in plant morphogenesis, notably influencing cytoskeleton organization, gene expression, protein polarity, or cell division. Although many putative mechanosensing proteins have been identified, it is

Reversing brain aging: Targeting energy metabolism in endogenous neural stem cells

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Mechanism of endogenous neural stem cells (eNSCs) energy metabolism disorder leading to brain aging and targeted eNSCs intervention strategies (By biorender). The disorder of energy metabolism of eNSCs can lead to their resting and aging, and eventually lead to brain aging.

Emerging S100A11 roles: Regulation of focal adhesion dynamics and mechanosensing

open access: yesCell Structure and Function
S100A11 is a small calcium-binding protein that has been studied in the context of growth regulation and membrane repair. However, it has recently been linked to the disassembly of focal adhesions.

Mechanosensing through immunoreceptors

open access: yesNature Immunology, 2019
The immune response is orchestrated by a variety of immune cells. The function of each cell is determined by the collective signals from various immunoreceptors, whose expression and activity depend on the developmental stages of the cell and its environmental context.

Collagen and Its Roles in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment: Structure, Function, and Therapeutic Potential

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Collagen, the primary structural protein of the extracellular matrix, shows marked structure–function duality in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Biomechanical and biophysical alterations—matrix stiffening, viscoelastic energy dissipation, fiber

Four‐dimensional immuno‐mechanobiomaterials: Dynamic material cues that program host response to prevent fibrosis and enable regeneration

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Dynamic immuno‐mechanobiomaterials with time‐programmed mechanical adaptation orchestrate host responses through precise mechanotransduction and immune‐stromal regulation. These adaptive biomaterials minimize mechanical mismatch, attenuate the forign dy response and fibrosis, promote angiogenesis and controlled extracellular matrix remodeling, and ...
