Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...

What can functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography reveal about the cerebral lateralization of writing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Which brain hemisphere controls writing? This review synthesizes all five functional transcranial Doppler studies of writing (handwriting and typing) published to date in adults and children. Right‐handers show left‐hemispheric dominance for the linguistic component of writing (written word generation), whereas findings for left‐handers remain ...
