The role of fibroblast growth factors in cell and cancer metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling regulates crucial signaling cascades that promote cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. Therefore, FGFs and their receptors are often dysregulated in human diseases, including cancer, to sustain proliferation and rewire metabolism.

EMT‐associated bias in the Parsortix® system observed with pancreatic cancer cell lines
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The Parsortix® system was tested for CTC enrichment using pancreatic cancer cell lines with different EMT phenotypes. Spike‐in experiments showed lower recovery of mesenchymal‐like cells. This was confirmed with an EMT‐inducible breast cancer cell line.

Characterization of three vasopressin receptor 2 variants: an apparent polymorphism (V266A) and two loss-of-function mutations (R181C and M311V). [PDF]
, 2013 Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is released from the posterior pituitary and controls water homeostasis. AVP binding to vasopressin V2 receptors (V2Rs) located on kidney collecting duct epithelial cells triggers activation of Gs proteins, leading to increased

Plasma-Activated Water Promotes Wound Healing by Regulating Inflammatory Responses
Biophysica, 2021 Infection can hinder the process of wound healing, so it is important to begin antibacterial treatment quickly after a wound forms. Plasma activated water (PAW) can inactivate a variety of common wound infection bacteria.
