Recruitment of Vitronectin by Bacterial Pathogens: A Comprehensive Overview

Microorganisms
The key factor that enables pathogenic bacteria to establish successful infections lies largely in their ability to escape the host’s immune response and adhere to host surfaces.

Turning Unpredictable Biomolecule Adsorption to Controlled Corona Formation: Focus on Carbon Nanomaterials

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 46, 18 August 2026.
Controlling the protein corona formation onto carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) enhances their functionalities as platforms for cancer theranostics. Here, we reviewed the effects of the intrinsic and acquired properties of CNMs on protein corona formation, the consequent biological and toxicological outcomes, and the strategies to reshape corona formation ...

Glycan‐Mediated Grafting of Extracellular Matrix Proteins for Stable Biofunctionalization of Polystyrene Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces
Adherent cells are highly sensitive to the physical and biochemical properties of their microenvironment, particularly the extracellular matrix (ECM), which regulates cell adhesion, signaling, and overall behavior.

HIV Modulates Osteoblast Differentiation via Upregulation of RANKL and Vitronectin

Pathogens
Bone loss is a prevalent characteristic among people with HIV (PWH). We focused on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts, examining their susceptibility to different HIV strains (R5- and X4-tropic) and the subsequent effects on bone tissue ...

Developmentally Inspired Bioprinting of Nascent Multicellular Human Heart Tissue Through In Situ Differentiation and Morphogenesis of iPSCs

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
A developmentally inspired bioprinting approach enables the fabrication of pluripotent tissues that undergo shape‐morphing and in situ cardiac lineage specification. This method employs embedded bioprinting to deposit iPSCs within soft granular hydrogels to create pluripotent tissue constructs that undergo cell‐mediated shape morphogenesis.

The Role of CAF‐derived Vitronectin in Promoting Colorectal Cancer Progression and Immunosuppression

Advanced Science
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) dominate the tumor stroma in colorectal cancer (CRC), fostering an immunosuppressive microenvironment that supports tumor growth, metastasis, and therapy resistance.

Binding of Brucella protein, Bp26, to select extracellular matrix molecules

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2019
Background Brucella is a facultative intracellular pathogen responsible for zoonotic disease brucellosis. Little is known about the molecular basis of Brucella adherence to host cells. In the present study, the possible role of Bp26 protein as an adhesin

Plasma Extracellular Vesicles‐Derived Complement Proteins as Biomarkers of Sarcopenia Progression in Longitudinal Cohorts

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass, strength and physical performance, yet current diagnostic tools are limited for practical and longitudinal monitoring. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) encapsulate various biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and metabolites and have emerged as promising ...

Tumor Plasticity and Microenvironmental Crosstalk as Drivers of Metastasis and Therapy Resistance

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
The graphical abstract is a schematic illustration of the bidirectional crosstalk between tumor plasticity and the tumor microenvironment (TME) in driving metastasis and therapy resistance. Tumor‐intrinsic factors such as genetic mutations and epigenetic reprogramming enable dynamic transitions between epithelial, mesenchymal, and cancer stem cell ...
