c‐Met‐Targeted Imaging Agents: Progress and Challenges
This review summarizes recent advances in c‐Met‐targeted imaging probes, including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) ligands, antibodies, peptides, and small molecules across magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and optical imaging modalities.

Rap2 and TNIK control Plexin-dependent tiled synaptic innervation in C. elegans
During development, neurons form synapses with their fate-determined targets. While we begin to elucidate the mechanisms by which extracellular ligand-receptor interactions enhance synapse specificity by inhibiting synaptogenesis, our knowledge about ...

The critical transition from amyloid pathology to irreversible neuronal loss in Alzheimer's disease hinges on the microglial response. This review aims to systematize the patterns of how microglia react within the glial context. Abstract Microglia mount coordinated, stage‐dependent compensatory programs in response to early amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation ...

Semaphorin signaling in vertebrate neural circuit assembly
Neural circuit formation requires the coordination of many complex developmental processes. First, neurons project axons over long distances to find their final targets and then establish appropriate connectivity essential for the formation of neuronal ...

Biochemical bone biomarkers in plasma cell dyscrasias
Visual abstract depicting that bone turnover markers reflect dynamic alterations in bone remodelling across the spectrum of plasma cell dyscrasias but remain limited by assay variability, biological confounding and incomplete integration with imaging and risk stratification.

Loss of plexin-B3 in hepatocellular carcinoma
Plexins are the primary receptors of semaphorins, and participate in the majority of intracellular pathways triggered by semaphorins, including the regulation of cell adhesion and the motility of numerous cell types. Recently, several studies have reported that plexins can significantly affect different aspects of cancer cell biology, and the aberrant ...

Semaphorin 3C and Its Receptors in Cancer and Cancer Stem-Like Cells
Neurodevelopmental programs are frequently dysregulated in cancer. Semaphorins are a large family of guidance cues that direct neuronal network formation and are also implicated in cancer. Semaphorins have two kinds of receptors, neuropilins and plexins.

Human SEMAPHORIN 5A (SEMA5A) is an autism susceptibility gene; however, its function in brain development is unknown. In this study, we show that mouse Sema5A negatively regulates synaptogenesis in early, developmentally born, hippocampal dentate granule

The Role of Semaphorin 4D in Bone Remodeling and Cancer Metastasis
Semaphorin 4D (Sema4D; CD100) is a transmembrane homodimer 150-kDa glycoprotein member of the Semaphorin family. Semaphorins were first identified as chemorepellants that guide neural axon growth. Sema4D also possesses immune regulatory activity.

Optogenetic activation of Plexin-B1 reveals contact repulsion between osteoclasts and osteoblasts
Osteoclasts induce chemotaxis of osteoblasts during bone remodelling, but maintain spatial segregation. Here the authors show that osteoclasts repel osteoblasts via contact inhibition of locomotion mediated by Semaphorin-Plexin signalling and develop an ...
