Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Cardiac fibrosis is characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, driven by the activation of cardiac fibroblasts (cFBs) and endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Endothelial cells (ECs) contribute to cardiac fibrosis through

Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Purpose. To develop a method of producing tissue-engineered constructs (TECs) on the basis of resident mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPC) of the human heart and to assess the effect of TECs transplantation on regenerative processes in the heart using a ...

MicroRNA and vascular remodelling in acute vascular injury and pulmonary vascular remodelling [PDF]
Vascular remodelling is an integral pathological process central to a number of cardiovascular diseases. The complex interplay between distinct cell populations in the vessel wall following vascular injury leads to inflammation, cellular dysfunction, pro-growth signals in the smooth muscle cell (SMC) compartment, and the acquisition of a synthetic ...

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Mimicking 3D bone microenvironment using a hybrid hydrogel-nanocomposite scaffold and human adipose-derived stem cells for bone differentiation and vascularization [PDF]
Bioengineered bone tissues could bypass limitations of traditional reconstructive methods such as bone grafts or foreign-body implants, but to date this approach has been limited by immaturity of engineered bones and vascularization.

Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated
