Matricellular Protein SMOC2 Potentiates BMP9-Induced Osteogenic Differentiation in Mesenchymal Stem Cells through the Enhancement of FAK/PI3K/AKT Signaling

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2023
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can self-renew and differentiate into multiple lineages, making MSC transplantation a promising option for bone regeneration. Both matricellular proteins and growth factors play an important role in regulating stem cell fate.

Don't cancel the surgery just yet! A case report of positive preoperative pregnancy test due to a soft tissue sarcoma production of ectopic beta human chorionic gonadotropin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Soft tissue sarcomas are a rare group of mesenchymal malignancies which can range from low to high grade. These tumors have different clinical, radiographic, and histopathological characteristics. Beta human chorionic gonadotropin is a naturally secreted

Biomechanics of Soft Tissue

open access: yes, 2001
Recent developments in Computer-Integrated and Robot-Aided Surgery (in particular, the emergence of automatic surgical tools and robots (as well as advances in Virtual Reality techniques, call for closer examination of the mechanical properties of very soft tissues (such as brain, liver, kidney, etc.).

Understanding and measuring mechanical signals in the tumor stroma

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review discusses cancer‐associated fibroblast subtypes and their functions, particularly in relation to extracellular matrix production, as well as the development of 3D models to study tumor stroma mechanics in vitro. Several quantitative techniques to measure tissue mechanical properties are also described, to emphasize the diagnostic and ...

Nectin-4 promotes osteosarcoma progression and metastasis through activating PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling by down-regulation of miR-520c-3p

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2022
Purpose Nectin-4 is specifically up-regulated in various tumors, exert crucial effects on tumor occurrence and development. Nevertheless, the role and molecular mechanism of Nectin-4 in osteosarcoma (OS) are rarely studied.

Bioengineering facets of the tumor microenvironment in 3D tumor models: insights into cellular, biophysical and biochemical interactions

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, multifaceted complex system of interdependent cellular, biochemical, and biophysical components. Three‐dimensional in vitro models of the tumor microenvironment enable a better understanding of these interactions and their impact on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.

3D MRI Tract‐Specific Spinal Cord Lesion Pattern Improves Prediction of Distinct Neurological Recovery

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To distinguish lateralized motor‐ and sensory‐tract damage after acute spinal cord injury (SCI) and explore its predictive power for motor and sensory recovery. Methods Thirty‐five SCI patients (two female) from a multi‐center data set (placebo‐arm of the Nogo‐A‐Inhibition in SCI trial) underwent routine T2‐weighted sagittal MRI ...

Helium cold atmospheric pressure plasma reduces erastin induced inflammation and ferroptosis in human gingival fibroblasts

open access: yesScientific Reports
Oral soft tissue damage can lead to hard tissue damage in the oral cavity, such as periodontal lesions, periapical disorders, cysts, and oral tumors. Cold plasma is known to alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress and promote tissue regeneration, yet
