[Advanced Materials] Scientists hypothesized that ECM softening in periodontal disease contributes to inflammation by dysregulating gingival fibroblasts.
[Nature Communications] Researchers showed that the ECM component hyaluronan mediates adherens junction-independent circulating tumor cell clustering in triple-negative breast cancers.
[Bone Research] Deletion of Foxi3 in the mouse cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) did not disrupt mandible and auricular development, further confirming that FOXI3 does not directly regulate CNCCs.
[Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta-Molecular Cell Research] Scientists identified nuclear prelamin A recognition factor (NARF) as a novel matrix stiffness-responsive gene, whose transcription is directly regulated by the mechanosensor Yes-associated protein.
[Scientific Reports] The authors investigated the histopathological, biochemical, and molecular effects of topical esculin on full-thickness wounds in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
[Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] Expanding preclinical and clinical literature from PDAC and other oncological indications identifies novel approaches through which radiation therapy–immunotherapy combinations could improve local and systemic disease control in patients with PDAC.
[US FDA] The US FDA approved Rasonque (daraxonrasib), a RAS inhibitor for the most common form of pancreatic cancer—delivering a new treatment option to patients with advanced pancreatic cancer months ahead of schedule.
