New intracellular components of bone morphogenetic protein/Smad signaling cascades [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2003
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) regulate many processes in the embryo, including cell type specification, patterning, apoptosis, and epithelial–mesenchymal interaction. They also act in soft and hard tissues in adult life. Their signals are transduced from the plasma membrane to the nucleus through a limited number of Smad proteins. The list of Smad‐

Advanced 3D Platforms for Modeling CNS Neuroinflammation: Cell Integration, Techniques, and Challenges

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the roles of key central nervous system cell types, the extracellular matrix, and the blood‐brain barrier in neuroinflammation, and their integration into diverse 3D culture systems. It examines major incorporation strategies, including direct co‐culture, hydrogel encapsulation, transwell migration assays, and bioprinting ...

Role of the bone morphogenic protein pathway in developmental haemopoiesis and leukaemogenesis [PDF]

, 2016
Myeloid leukaemias share the common characteristics of being stem cell-derived clonal diseases, characterised by excessive proliferation of one or more myeloid lineage.

A Long‐Lived Human Neurovascular PENTA Culture Model Captures Incomplete Vascular Repair and Glia‐Associated Signaling After Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A long‐lived, five‐cell‐type human neurovascular (PENTA) model recreates vascular disorganization and incomplete repair after traumatic brain injury (TBI). By integrating endothelial, glial, neuronal, and immune components within a 3D scaffold, the platform enables time‐resolved analysis of neurovascular remodeling and provides a human‐relevant system ...

Formin-dependent TGF-β signaling for epithelial to mesenchymal transition. [PDF]

, 2018
The role of distinct actin filament architectures in epithelial plasticity remains incompletely understood. We therefore determined roles for formins and the Arp2/3 complex, which are actin nucleators generating unbranched and branched actin filaments ...

Recapitulating Endochondral Ossification for Bone Repair: From Development to Engineering Strategy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the developmental basis of endochondral ossification (ECO) and its applications in bone tissue engineering (BTE). It first outlines the key biological processes and signaling pathways underlying ECO, then discusses biomaterial‐based engineering strategies derived from these principles, and finally highlights future directions for

Bottom‐Up Programming of Cell States in Cancer Organoids with Defined Synthetic Adhesion Cues

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A bottom‐up biomaterial platform is developed to program transcriptomic states in pancreatic cancer organoids by tuning adhesion cues within synthetic matrices. By combining a Design of Experiments framework with multiobjective optimization, matrix compositions are identified that enrich specific cellular programs like EMT.

Anti-Müllerian hormone recruits BMPR-IA in immature granulosa cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the TGF-β superfamily secreted by the gonads of both sexes. This hormone is primarily known for its role in the regression of the Müllerian ducts in male fetuses. In females, AMH is expressed in granulosa cells

SMAD4 loss enables EGF, TGF\u3b21 and S100A8/A9 induced activation of critical pathways to invasion in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells [PDF]

, 2016
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) receptor overexpression, KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A and SMAD4 mutations characterize pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This mutational landscape might influence cancer cells response to EGF, Transforming Growth Factor \u3b21 (TGF ...

SMAD proteins are involved in apoptosis induction in ventricular cardiomyocytes [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2005
The transcription factor AP-1 is a mediator of hypertrophic growth and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. This puts AP-1 in the center of two important processes found in the failing heart and implies that variations (i) in the AP-1 composition itself or (ii) in additional, interacting transcription factors are responsible for the diverse actions of AP-1.
