    The Secreted Neuronal Signal Spock1 Promotes Blood-Brain Barrier Development

    The authors identified Spock1 as a candidate neuronal signal for regulating blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in zebrafish and mice. Mosaic genetic analysis shows that neuronally expressed Spock1 is cell non-autonomously required for a functional BBB.

    Extracellular Matrix Remodeling and Stiffening Contributes to Tumorigenesis of Salivary Carcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma—A Study Based on Patient-Derived Organoids

    Scientists examined ECM modifications to elucidate the mechanism underlying carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma tumorigenesis. RNA-sequencing and bioinformatic analysis of organoids showed that differentially expressed genes are highly enriched in ECM-associated terms.

    Extracellular Matrix-Derived Peptide Stimulates the Generation of Endocrine Progenitors and Islet Organoids from iPSCs

    Investigators identified a bioactive peptide domain of COL5, WWASKS, through bioinformatic analysis of decellularized pancreatic ECM-derived collagens. RNA-sequencing suggests that WWASKS induces the formation of pancreatic endocrine progenitors while suppressing the development of other types of organs.

    Electrospun Nanofibrous Membranes of Recombinant Human Collagen Type III Promote Cutaneous Wound Healing

    A nanofibrous membrane wound dressing material based on recombinant human collagen type III crosslinked by EDC/NHS, which incorporated multiple Gly–Glu–Lys and Gly–Leu–Ser–Gly–Glu–Arg integrin receptors, has been developed utilizing green electrospinning technology.

    Tumor Collagens Predict Genetic Features and Patient Outcomes

    The changing collagen composition in tumors along with their impact on patient outcomes and possible biomarkers remains largely unknown. The RNA expression of the 43 collagen genes from solid tumors in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was clustered to classify tumors.

    Matrix Metalloproteinases Are Key Targets of Acupuncture in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis

    Investigators demonstrated that acupuncture treatment reduced the ulcerative colitis symptoms, disease activity index score, and histological colitis score and increased body weight, colon length, and the number of intestinal goblet cells.

    Decellularized Lung Extracellular Matrix Scaffold Promotes Human Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation towards Alveolar Progenitors

    A sheep lung was decellularized to achieve decellularized ECM (dECM) scaffolds and hydrogels. Afterwards, the obtained dECM scaffold was evaluated for collagen and glycosaminoglycan contents, DNA quantification, and its ultrastructure.
