| Using the murine model, in vitro systems, and patient samples, scientists showed that hyperglycemia increased tumor growth, ECM stiffness, glycation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of tumor cells. [Science Advances] |

|
| Researchers presented that platelet endothelial aggregation receptor 1 (PEAR1) in fibroblasts may serve as a target for pulmonary fibrosis therapy. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| While tumor cells were unable to exploit collagen directly, here the authors showed they can usurp metabolic byproducts of collagen-consuming tumor-associated stroma. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers compared the tumor biological behaviors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells in 2D, on-surface 3D and embedded 3D systems, and investigated the correlation between radioresistance and ECM stiffness. [Cancer Cell International] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) could promote the apoptosis of human amniotic epithelial cells via ERK1/2 pathways dependent on reactive oxygen species (ROS) release. [Journal of Reproductive Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported that 3D cell culture of dermal fibroblasts promoted secretion of exosomes carrying a large quantity of proteins involved in the formation, organisation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors studied the expression of the major extracellular matrix proteins of fibrosis in relation to diagnostic silver grading supported by image analysis. [Histopathology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators evaluated the effects on the overexpression of periostin, POSTN a regulator ECM protein, in myometrial cells. [Reproductive Sciences] |
|
|
|
| The protective effects of oleracone C isolated from Portulaca olerace against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced changes in MMPs and type I procollagen production were investigated in human keratinocytes. [International Journal of Cosmetic Science] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the interplay between heparan sulfate degradation and radiation response in triple-negative breast cancer cells. [Archives of Medical Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists systematically compared the effect of two ECM classes, the interstitial matrix and the basement membrane, on the intestinal epithelium. They found that both collagen I and laminin-containing cultures allowed growth of small intestinal epithelial cells with all cell types present in both cultures. [Biology Open] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors analyze the current research advances on matrix stiffness and tumor cell behavior with a view to contributing to tumor cell growth and treatment, with the hope of improving the understanding of the biological role of matrix stiffness in tumors. [Journal of Translational Medicine] |

|
| Biocept, Inc. announced a collaboration agreement to participate in an investigator-initiated, non-therapeutic pilot study to evaluate the cerebrospinal fluid tumor and immune cell microenvironment in patients with metastatic breast cancer and brain metastases and/or leptomeningeal disease.
