PINCH-1 regulates mitochondrial dynamics to promote proline synthesis and tumor growth
Proline metabolism is crucial to tumor proliferation. Here, the authors show PINCH-1 deficiency inhibited proline synthesis by promoting mitochondrial fragmentation via DRP1, downregulating PYCR1 expression and reducing cell proliferation in vitro and in

The relationship between oestrogen receptor-alpha phosphorylation and the tumour microenvironment in patients with primary operable ductal breast cancer [PDF]
Aims: Although the role of phosphorylation of oestrogen receptor (ER) at serines 118 (p-S118) and 167 (p-S167) has been studied, the relationship between p-S118, p-S167 and the tumour microenvironment in ER-positive primary operable ductal breast ...

Kindlin-2 links mechano-environment to proline synthesis and tumor growth
The mechano-properties of the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) are important for tumorigenesis. Here, the authors show that the stiffening of the ECM promotes translocation of the focal adhesion protein—Kindlin-2—to the mitochondria, where it interacts with ...

Bacteria-laden microgels as autonomous three-dimensional environments for stem cell engineering
A one-step microfluidic system is developed in this study which enables the encapsulation of stem cells and genetically engineered non-pathogenic bacteria into a so-called three-dimensional (3D) pearl lace–like microgel of alginate with high level of ...

Anti-Tumor Effects of TRAIL-Expressing Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in a Mouse Xenograft Model of Human Mesothelioma [PDF]
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) remains a highly deadly malignancy with poor treatment option. The MM cells further promote a highly inflammatory microenvironment which contributes to tumor initiation, development, severity, and propagation. We reasoned that
