LIMK2 Inactivation Suppresses Mechanical Stimulation-Induced Dermal Fibroblast Differentiation and Resistance to Apoptosis

[Scientific Reports] Researchers investigated the role of LIMK2, a component of the Rho/ROCK/LIMK/cofilin pathway, in cell differentiation and apoptosis in response to mechanical stimulation and proliferation in human dermal fibroblasts.

An Update on the Landscape of Collagen Bioactive Fragments

[FEBS Journal] Investigators provide an overview of the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and pathological contexts affecting heart, lung, adipose, and even brain tissues.

Cell Adhesion Molecules As Emerging Regulators of Ferroptosis: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities in Cancer

[Apoptosis] The authors offer a systematic summary of the roles played by major cell adhesion molecules families—namely, the immunoglobulin superfamily, cadherins, and integrins—in the regulation of ferroptosis.
