Kindlin-2 loss in condylar chondrocytes causes spontaneous osteoarthritic lesions in the temporomandibular joint in mice

open access: yesInternational Journal of Oral Science, 2022
The progressive destruction of condylar cartilage is a hallmark of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA); however, its mechanism is incompletely understood.

Optimized exosome isolation protocol for cell culture supernatant and human plasma [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2015
Extracellular vesicles represent a rich source of novel biomarkers in the diagnosis and prognosis of disease. However, there is currently limited information elucidating the most efficient methods for obtaining high yields of pure exosomes, a subset of ...

Anti-S100A4 Antibody Suppresses Metastasis Formation by Blocking Stroma Cell Invasion

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2012
The small Ca-binding protein, S100A4, has a well-established metastasis-promoting activity. Moreover, its expression is tightly correlated with poor prognosis in patients with numerous types of cancer.

Tumor microenvironmental cytokines bound to cancer exosomes determine uptake by cytokine receptor-expressing cells and biodistribution

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Cancer derived exosomes are reported to promote metastatic dissemination. Here the authors show that cytokines in the tumor microenvironment bind to exosomes via glycosaminoglycan side chains of proteoglycans, and these exosomes are preferentially taken ...

Functional characterization of ABCA4 genetic variants related to Stargardt disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The ATP-binding cassette subfamily 4 (ABCA4), a transporter, is localized within the photoreceptors of the retina, and its genetic variants cause retinal dystrophy. Despite the clinical importance of the ABCA4 transporter, a few studies have investigated

The microenvironment matters

open access: yesMolecular Biology of the Cell, 2014
The physical and biochemical properties of the microenvironment regulate cell behavior and modulate tissue development and homeostasis. Likewise, the physical and interpersonal cues a trainee receives profoundly influence his or her scientific development, research perspective, and future success. My cell biology career has been greatly impacted by the

Targeting cellular senescence to combat cancer and ageing

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, 2022
Senescence is a complex cellular process that is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes. It is characterized by a stable state of cell growth arrest and by a secretome of diverse pro‐inflammatory factors, chemokines and growth ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

GM‐CSF enhances tumor invasion by elevated MMP‐2, ‐9, and ‐26 expression

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2013
Granulocyte–macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) promotes tumor progression in different tumor models in an autocrine and paracrine manner. However, at the same time GM‐CSF is used in cancer therapies to ameliorate neutropenia.
