    3D Interfacial and Spatiotemporal Regulation of Human Neuroepithelial Organoids

    Scientists established a simple 3D culture system that allowed for the generation and manipulation of neuroepithelial organoids from human induced PSCs, displaying developmental phases of hiPSC differentiation and self-aggregation.

    Dystrophin Missense Mutations Alter Focal Adhesion Tension and Mechanotransduction

    Data revealed cross talk between dystrophin and focal adhesions (FAs), as the expression of wild-type or I232M dystrophin increased FA tension compared to dystrophin-less nontransgenic myoblasts.

    PEAK1 Y635 Phosphorylation Regulates Cell Migration through Association with Tensin3 and Integrins

    Scientists used BioID to interrogate the interactomes of β1 and β3 integrins in epithelial cells and identified PEAK1 as an interactor of the RGD-binding integrins α5β1, αVβ3, and αVβ5 in focal adhesions.

    Abstract

    Differentiated Glioma Cell-Derived Fibromodulin Activates Integrin-Dependent Notch Signaling in Endothelial Cells to Promote Tumor Angiogenesis and Growth

    Proteomic analysis showed a higher abundance of the extracellular matrix small leucine-rich proteoglycan Fibromodulin in the conditioned medium of differentiated glioma cells, the equivalent of glioma non-cancer stem cells, compared to that of glioma stem-like cells.

    Abstract

    Regional Infusion of a Class C TLR9 Agonist Enhances Liver Tumor Microenvironment Reprogramming and MDSC Reduction to Improve Responsiveness to Systemic Checkpoint Inhibition

    Researchers reported that regional intravascular infusion of ODN2395 into mice with liver metastasis partially eliminated liver myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and reprogrammed residual MDSC.
