Modeling Catheter‐Associated Bladder Mucosal Adhesion and Microtrauma Using a Human Urothelial Microtissue Model

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2026.
Intermittent catheter use can damage the urinary tract and predispose to infection. We deployed a complex human urothelial model to investigate. Catheter contact induced compressive and shear stress causing umbrella cell disruption, reduced barrier function, inflammation and increased cell adhesion to the catheter surface.

Ablation of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain SM2 increases smooth muscle contractility and results in postnatal death in mice [PDF]

, 2008
The smooth muscle myosin heavy chains (SMHC) are motor proteins powering smooth muscle contraction. Alternate splicing of SHMC gene at the C-terminus produces SM1, and SM2 myosin isoforms; SM2 (200 kDa) contains a unique 9-amino-acid sequence at the ...

Advanced Primary Cervical Carcinosarcoma With Ovarian and Peritoneal Metastases in a Premenopausal Woman: A Rare Case Report From Northern Tanzania

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cervical carcinosarcoma (CCS), also known as malignant mixed Müllerian tumor (MMMT) of the cervix, is an exceptionally rare and aggressive biphasic neoplasm composed of both epithelial and mesenchymal malignant components. Due to its rarity, optimal management strategies are not well established, particularly in low‐resource settings.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Glutamine Metabolism in Health and Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Glutamine metabolism acts as a metabolic hub connecting cellular stress adaptation, immune regulation, and disease development. Through regulating energy production, biosynthesis, redox balance, and nitrogen metabolism, glutamine supports cellular homeostasis under physiological and pathological conditions.
