miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Relationships between muscle strength and multi-channel surface EMG parameters in eighty-eight elderly

European Review of Aging and Physical Activity, 2018
Background Since age-related muscle strength loss cannot be explained solely by muscle atrophy, other determinants would also contribute to muscle strength in elderly. The present study aimed to clarify contribution of neuromuscular activation pattern to

Dual-modality Smart Shoes for Quantitative Assessment of Hemiplegic Patients' Lower Limbs' Muscle Strength [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Stroke can lead to the impaired motor ability of the patient's lower limbs and hemiplegia. Accurate assessment of the lower limbs' motor ability is important for diagnosis and rehabilitation. To digitalize such assessment so that each test can be traced back any time and subjectivity can be avoided, we test how dual-modality smart shoes equipped with ...

Interplay of integrins and selectins in metastasis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Here we review the role of integrins and their interplay with selectins in metastasis. The efficacy of integrin‐targeted therapies may be reduced in tumors where metastasis relies heavily on selectins. In certain tumors, integrins and selectins exhibit a synergistic interaction during intraperitoneal dissemination.

Bioengineering facets of the tumor microenvironment in 3D tumor models: insights into cellular, biophysical and biochemical interactions

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, multifaceted complex system of interdependent cellular, biochemical, and biophysical components. Three‐dimensional in vitro models of the tumor microenvironment enable a better understanding of these interactions and their impact on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.
