The Insulin/IGF system in colorectal cancer development and resistance to therapy
The Insulin/Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is a major determinant in the pathogenesis and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Indeed, several components of this signaling network including Insulin, IGF-1, IGF-2, the IGF-Binding Proteins, the

The beta secretase BACE1 regulates the expression of insulin receptor in the liver
A soluble form of insulin receptor in human plasma has been previously reported. Here the authors demonstrate that insulin receptor is cleaved by BACE1 that can regulate biological active insulin receptor levels in a glucose concentration-dependent ...

Microfabricated Anisotropic Myobundles for the Scalable Production of Cardiac Tissue Grafts
Controlling the anisotropy of cardiac tissue remains an outstanding challenge in the field of cardiac tissue engineering. Here, we introduce an approach to generate anisotropic cardiac myobundles using cell‐adhesive, synthetic, electrospun fibers and stem cell‐derived cardiac fibroblasts.

The potential link between aging and insulin signaling has attracted substantial attention since several decades ago, on the basis of evidence including age-related increase in incidence of insulin resistance, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in accelerated aging syndromes and lifespan extension by caloric restriction in rodents. In addition, the
