Pericyte plasticity – comparative investigation of the angiogenic and multilineage potential of pericytes from different human tissues [PDF]

European Cells & Materials, 2016
Pericyte recruitment is essential for the stability of newly formed vessels. It was also suggested that pericytes represent common ancestor cells giving rise to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the adult.

Inorganic Nanomaterials can Promote or Inhibit Tumor Metastasis Depending on Tumor Microenvironment Composition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As engineered nanomaterials gain prominence in cancer imaging and therapy, understanding their impact on tumor progression becomes increasingly critical. We demonstrate that gold and silica‐coated gold nanomaterials can either suppress or enhance breast cancer metastasis through distinct tumor microenvironment interactions, while identifying ...

Blood-brain barrier-associated pericytes internalize and clear aggregated amyloid-β42 by LRP1-dependent apolipoprotein E isoform-specific mechanism

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2018
Background Clearance at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an important role in removal of Alzheimer’s amyloid-β (Aβ) toxin from brain both in humans and animal models. Apolipoprotein E (apoE), the major genetic risk factor for AD, disrupts Aβ clearance

SerpinA3 is an Endogenous TGF‐β Receptor Antagonist that Attenuates Cardiac Fibroblast Activation and Fibrotic Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SerpinA3 acts as an endogenous TGF‐β receptor antagonist that binds to the extracellular domain of TGFR‐1, thereby preventing TGFR‐1–TGFR‐2 complex formation. This receptor‐level blockade suppresses TGF‐β/Smad2/3 signaling, attenuates cardiac fibroblast activation, and extracellular matrix deposition, and ultimately alleviates pressure overload–induced

Potential of Nanoparticle‐Based Phototherapies for Future Treatment of Uveal Melanoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review evaluates nanoparticle‐based phototherapies for uveal melanoma, highlighting emerging strategies to enhance tumor targeting, light delivery, and treatment precision. Preclinical data indicate improved efficacy and reduced toxicity, supporting their potential to enhance localized treatment and future translational advances. (Generated by the

Microvascular pericytes contain muscle and nonmuscle actins

, 2018
We have affinity-fractionated rabbit antiactin immunoglobulins (IgG) into classes that bind preferentially to either muscle or nonmuscle actins. The pools of muscle- and nonmuscle-specific actin antibodies were used in conjunction with fluorescence ...

Macrophage PARP7 Alleviates Septic Cardiomyopathy by Interacting With TBK1 and Suppressing TBK1‐Driven Inflammatory Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In septic cardiomyopathy, PARP7 directly binds TBK1 and mediates its ADP‐ribosylation, thereby repressing TBK1‐driven proinflammatory signaling in macrophages. ABSTRACT Septic cardiomyopathy is a life‐threatening complication of sepsis, and an uncontrolled inflammatory response represents a key pathogenic mechanism. PARP7 negatively regulates the IFN‐I

Molecular mechanisms underlying therapeutic potential of pericytes

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2018
Background Pericytes are multipotent cells present in every vascularized tissue in the body. Despite the fact that they are well-known for more than a century, pericytes are still representing cells with intriguing properties.

Pericytes in Ischemic Stroke

, 2019
Recent stroke research has shifted the focus to the microvasculature from neuron-centric views. It is increasingly recognized that a successful neuroprotection is not feasible without microvascular protection.

Tau Aggregate Imaging and Transcriptomics of Alzheimer's Disease Brain at Different Stages of Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The protein aggregates and gene expression in the middle temporal gyrus (MTG) and somatosensory cortex (SOM) of the postmortem brains of 13 Alzheimer's disease patients were studied in detail, revealing that small hyperphosphorylated tau aggregates increase with Braak stage driven by microglial inflammation.
