    Carcinogen Exposure Enhances Cancer Immunogenicity by Blocking the Development of an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

    The authors demonstrated that chemical carcinogen-exposed cancer cells failed to establish an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, resulting in their T cell–mediated rejection in vivo.

    Morphogenesis and Development of Human Telencephalic Organoids in the Absence and Presence of Exogenous Extracellular Matrix

    Scientists showed that exposure to a solubilized basement membrane matrix substrate, Matrigel, at early neuroepithelial stages caused rapid tissue polarization and rearrangement of neuroepithelial architecture.

    Defined Extracellular Matrix Compositions Support Stiffness-Insensitive Cell Spreading and Adhesion Signaling

    To address the functional coupling of ECM composition and matrix rigidity on compliant substrates, investigators developed a matrix spot array system to screen cell phenotypes against different ECM mixtures on defined substrate stiffnesses at high resolution.

    Silicon-Based Biomaterials Modulate the Adaptive Immune Response of T Lymphocytes to Promote Osteogenesis/Angiogenesis via Epigenetic Regulation

    Mesoporous silica was used as a model material of Si-based biomaterials. Experiments showed that the supernatant of CD4+ T lymphocytes pretreated with mesoporous silica extract significantly promoted the vascularized bone regeneration.

    Abstract

    A 3D-Printed Blood-Brain Barrier Model with Tunable Topology and Cell-Matrix Interactions

    Investigators used peptides derived from proteins mediating cell-ECM (e.g. RGD and IKVAV) and cell-cell (e.g. HAVDI) adhesions to mediate endothelial cell attachment and coverage.

    Abstract

    Collagen 1-Mediated CXCL1 Secretion in Tumor Cells Activates Fibroblasts to Promote Radioresistance of Esophageal Cancer

    Using RNA sequencing, cytokine arrays, and single-cell RNA sequencing, scientists revealed an enrichment of cancer-associated fibroblast-derived collagen type 1 and tumor-cell-derived CXCL1 in non-responsive patient-derived xenografts.

    An ULK1/2-PXN Mechanotransduction Pathway Suppresses Breast Cancer Cell Migration

    Researchers described a new role for the autophagy-inducing serine/threonine kinases ULK1 and ULK2 in mechanotransduction, and showed that ULK1/2 activity inhibited the assembly of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions.

    ECM Proteins and Cationic Polymers Coating Promote Dedifferentiation of Patient-Derived Mature Adipocytes to Stem Cells

    To understand the role of physicochemical surface effects on the dedifferentiation of patient-derived mature adipocytes, the surfaces of cell culture flasks were coated with extracellular matrix, basement membrane proteins, and cationic/anionic polymers.

    Abstract

    Macrophages Release IL11-Containing Filopodial Tip Vesicles and Contribute to Renal Interstitial Inflammation

    Researchers showed that macrophage filopodia produced a unique membrane structure called “filopodial tip vesicle” (FTV) that originated from the tip of macrophages filopodia, contained numerous internal-vesicles, and functioned as cargo storage depots via nanotubular transport.

    Abstract

    Migrasome: A New Functional Extracellular Vesicle

    Scientists review the discovery, structure, distribution, detection, biogenesis, and removal of migrasomes, and mainly focus on summarizing its biological functions in cell-to-cell communication, homeostatic maintenance, embryonic development and multiple diseases.
