    Alpha-1 Adrenergic Signaling Drives Cardiac Regeneration via Extracellular Matrix Remodeling Transcriptional Program in Zebrafish Macrophages

    Genetic manipulation and single-cell transcriptomics showed that the receptor signals activation of an “extracellular matrix remodeling” transcriptional program in a macrophage subset, which served as a key regulator of matrix composition and turnover.

    Molecular Mechanism of the Interaction between Megalocytivirus-Induced Virus-Mock Basement Membrane (VMBM) and Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

    The viral protein VP33L was identified as a novel component of virus-mock basement membrane (VMBM), and the way it participates in VMBM assembly was investigated.

    Abstract

    Analysis of Proteins Released from Osteoarthritic Cartilage by Compressive Loading

    Osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage was obtained from OA knees at macroscopically preserved areas and degenerated areas, while control cartilage was collected from non-arthritic knees. Released proteins were obtained by repeatedly applying compressive loading, which simulated loading on cartilage in vivo.
