Human Embryonic Stem Cell‐Derived Immunity‐And‐Matrix‐Regulatory Cells Attenuate Pulmonary Fibrosis via MMP1‐Mediated Collagen Degradation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Human embryonic stem cell‐derived Immunity‐and‐Matrix‐Regulatory Cells (IMRCs) effectively attenuate pulmonary fibrosis by secreting Matrix Metalloproteinase‐1 (MMP1), which directly degrades excess collagen I in the extracellular matrix. By directly degrading collagen I, IMRCs reverse ECM stiffness, suppress myofibroblast activation, and promote a ...

Cystic Fibrosis and Colorectal Cancer Risk: Reprogramming of the Intestinal Epithelial Niche and Cell‐State Plasticity in the CFTR Modulator Era

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
In cystic fibrosis disorder, CFTR dysfunction drives multilayered intestinal niche disruption, including dysbiosis, inflammation, hypoxia, metabolic stress and genotoxic injury, promoting cell‐state plasticity and a pre‐neoplastic ecosystem. CFTR modulators and environmental factors may partially reshape these processes, highlighting opportunities for ...

Mechanical stiffness orchestrates distinct regulation of MRTFs and YAP/TAZ transcriptional cofactors in hepatocytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MRTFs and YAP/TAZ proteins, or mechanosensitive transcriptional cofactors (MRTcoF), regulate common genes associated with cellular contractility and immune cell infiltration. Their differential regulation in response to stiffness is linked to changes in hepatocyte's aspect ratio. MRTFB does not undergo nuclear translocation under these conditions. This

Histological manifestations of vitamin A toxicity in the liver

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Analysing clinicopathological data from 1960 to 2025, this study characterizes the spectrum of liver injury associated with chronic vitamin A toxicity. Hepatic stellate cell hypertrophy/hyperplasia and sinusoidal fibrosis emerge as the predominant features, providing a morphological basis for diagnosing vitamin A hepatotoxicity.

CD68 and F4/80 Markers Demonstrate Inflammatory Synergism Between Apical Periodontitis and Liver Fibrosis in Wistar Rats

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate CD68 and F4/80 glycoproteins in the worsening of apical periodontitis (AP) and liver fibrosis (LF) in Wistar rats. Methodology Thirty‐two Wistar rats were distributed in the following groups (n = 8): C—control; AP—apical periodontitis; LF—liver fibrosis; APLF—AP and LF.
