MFG-E8 Promotes Osteogenic Transdifferentiation of Smooth Muscle Cells and Vascular Calcification by Regulating TGF-β1 Signaling

[Communications Biology] Scientists hypothesized that milk fat globule–epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8), a glycoprotein expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), promoted the osteogenic transdifferentiation of VSMCs through the activation of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-mediated signaling.

circCDK13-Loaded Small Extracellular Vesicles Accelerate Healing in Preclinical Diabetic Wound Models

[Nature Communications] Scientists demonstrated that circCDK13 could stimulate the proliferation and migration of human dermal fibroblasts and human epidermal keratinocytes by interacting with insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 in an N6-Methyladenosine-dependent manner to enhance CD44 and c-MYC expression.
