|
Autophagic LC3+ Calcified Extracellular Vesicles Initiate Cartilage Calcification in Osteoarthritis | Investigators demonstrated that pathological cartilage calcification occurred in the early stage of osteoarthritis in which the calcified extracellular vesicles were closely involved. [Science Advances] |

|
Intracellular Hydroxyproline Imprinting Following Resolution of Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis | The authors followed the dynamic fibrotic features of bleomycin-treated mouse lungs over extended durations through a combination of the latest technologies — micro-computed tomography imaging and histological detection of degraded collagens — and traditional methods. [European Respiratory Journal] |

|
|
An Instantly Fixable and Self-Adaptive Scaffold for Skull Regeneration by Autologous Stem Cell Recruitment and Angiogenesis | Scientists designed an instantly fixable and self-adaptive scaffold by dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid chelating Ca2+ of the microhydroxyapatite surface and bonding type I collagen to highly simulate the natural bony matrix. [Nature Communications] |

|
Single-Cell Profiling of Human Dura and Meningioma Reveals Cellular Meningeal Landscape and Insights into Meningioma Immune Response | Researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to perform the first characterization of both non-tumor-associated human dura and primary meningioma samples. [Genome Medicine] |

|
Bacterial Matrix Metalloproteases and Serine Proteases Contribute to the Extra-Host Inactivation of Enteroviruses in Lake Water | The authors demonstrated the direct effect of bacterial proteases on the inactivation of enteroviruses and identified matrix metalloproteases as effective controls on enteroviruses’ environmental persistence. [ISME Journal] |

|
A Pan-Cancer Metabolic Atlas of the Tumor Microenvironment | Researchers used a tumor transcriptome deconvolution approach to profile the metabolic states of cancer and non-cancer cells in bulk tumors of 20 solid tumor types. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
Histone H3K9 Methyltransferase SETDB1 Augments Invadopodia Formation to Promote Tumor Metastasis | Investigators demonstrated that SETDB1 augmented the migration and invasion capabilities of non-small cell lung cancer cells by reinforcing invadopodia formation and mediated ECM degradation. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
The Transcription Factor PREP1 (PKNOX1) Regulates Nuclear Stiffness, the Expression of LINC Complex Proteins and Mechanotransduction | The authors showed that PKNOX1 regulated the stiffness of the nucleus, the expression of LINC complex proteins, and mechanotransduction of YAP-TAZ. [Communications Biology] |

|
Radiobiological Effects of Wound Fluid on Breast Cancer Cell Lines and Human-Derived Tumor Spheroids in 2D and Microfluidic Culture | To clarify the effects of intraoperative radiotherapy-induced wound fluid on tumor progression, scientists treated breast cancer cell lines and human-derived tumor spheroids in 2D and microfluidic cell culture systems, respectively. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
Efficient Deformation Mechanisms Enable Invasive Cancer Cells to Migrate Faster in 3D Collagen Networks | Investigators used 3D time lapse imaging on a confocal microscope and a phase correlation method to follow fiber deformations, as well as cell morphology and live actin distribution during the migration of cancer cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
Microfluidics Meets 3D Cancer Cell Migration | The authors discuss recent developments in cancer cell migration and how microfluidic strategies have evolved to address the physiological complexities of the tumor microenvironment to visualize migration modes adapted by various tumor cells. [Trends in Cancer] |
