Erythropoietin modulation of podocalyxin and a proposed erythroblast niche
AbstractEpo's erythropoietic capacity is ascribed largely to its antiapoptotic actions. In part via gene profiling of bone marrow erythroblasts, Epo is now shown to selectively down-modulate the adhesion/migration factors chemokine receptor-4 (Cxcr4) and integrin alpha-4 (Itga4) and to up-modulate growth differentiation factor-3 (Gdf3), oncostatin-M ...

Spatial Transcriptomic Assessments of Gene Expression Profiles in Human Peri‐Implant Lesions
ABSTRACT Aim To analyse gene expression profiles in human tissue samples obtained from dental implant sites with or without peri‐implantitis. Materials and Methods Soft‐tissue biopsy samples obtained from patients presenting with implants with severe peri‐implantitis and adjacent reference implants with no signs of peri‐implantitis were analysed by ...

Reconfigurable Microenvironments Uncover Mechano‐Sensing Timescales and Direct Cell Polarity
A synthetic DNA‐crosslinked cell culture matrix enables control over the mechanical microenvironment surrounding cells. Independent tuning of stiffness and stress relaxation uncovers distinct timescales of mechano‐sensing that regulate cell behavior.

The Role of WT1 in Embryonic Development and Normal Organ Homeostasis. [PDF]
The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene 1 (Wt1) is critically involved in a number of developmental processes in vertebrates, including cell differentiation, control of the epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype, proliferation, and apoptosis.

Leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction is enhanced in podocalyxin-deficient mice [PDF]
The highly sialoglycosylated extracellular domain of podocalyxin (Podxl) is a constituent of the endothelial glycocalyx of most blood vessels but it is unknown if Podxl plays a prominent role in the function of the glycocalyx as a regulator of leukocyte-endothelial adhesion.

MUC15 Ectodomain Architecture Regulates Integrin Clustering to Control Cancer Metastasis
This study uncovers a size‐dependent adhesion paradigm, demonstrating that the glycocalyx protein MUC15 suppresses pancreatic cancer progression by attenuating integrin activation, focal adhesion assembly, and YAP mechanotransduction. Integrating computational modeling and experimental validation, the work reveals a mechanical mechanism by which MUC15 ...

Immunofluorescence Staining of WT-1/Podocalyxin on Mouse Kidney Sections [PDF]
In glomerular diseases, podocytes are one type of cells involved in dysfunction of glomerular filtration. In these conditions, podocyte proteins expression change. Therefore, immunofluorescent staining of podocytes can be performed to visualize podocyte localization of proteins of interest. In this protocol, we detail a method to stain podocytes with a

A pilot study of changes in urinary podocalyxin levels during normal pregnancy and labor
Introduction: Increased urinary podocalyxin, a surrogate marker of podocyte detachment, has been shown in preeclampsia and eclampsia, but there is a paucity of data of the effect of normal pregnancy on its urinary excretion.
