Mechanoregulatory Effects of Cell‐Scale Microwells on Epithelial Cell Phenotype
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In small polycaprolactone microwells, A549 epithelial cells span well edges, in contrast to cells growing on flat substrates. Focal adhesion sites (yellow) concentrate at topographic boundaries, while cytoskeletal tension (magenta stress fibers) is transmitted to the nucleus (blue), reducing nuclear sphericity.

Thyroid development in zebrafish lacking Taz
Mechanisms of Development, 2015 Taz is a signal-responsive transcriptional coregulator implicated in several biological functions, from chondrogenesis to regulation of organ size. Less well studied, however, is its role in thyroid formation. Here, we explored the in vivo effects on thyroid development of morpholino (MO)-mediated knockdown of wwtr1, the gene encoding zebrafish Taz ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2008 Background Escherichia coli infections are frequent in ICU patients. The increased resistance to fluoroquinolones and amoxicillin/clavulanate of this pathogen mandates the prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics such as piperacillin/tazobactam (PIP ...

Oxidation and low cycle fatigue life prediction [PDF]
, 1984 When a metallic material is exposed to a high temperature in an ambient atmosphere, oxidation takes place on the metallic surface. The formed oxides (both surface and grain boundary oxides) are mechanically brittle so that if the stress is high enough ...

Lipophilic statins inhibit YAP nuclear localization, co-activator activity and colony formation in pancreatic cancer cells and prevent the initial stages of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in KrasG12D mice. [PDF]
, 2019 We examined the impact of statins on Yes-associated Protein (YAP) localization, phosphorylation and transcriptional activity in human and mouse pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells.

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023 AbstractBackgroundExercise stimulates the activation of muscle satellite cells, which facilitate the maintenance of stem cells and their myogenic conversion during muscle regeneration. However, the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood. This study shows that the transcriptional co‐activator with PDZ‐binding motif (TAZ) stimulates muscle ...
