| Investigators reported that, similar to interphase, mitotic cells could employ integrins to initiate adhesion to the ECM in a kindlin- and talin-dependent manner. [Nature Communications] |

|
| A tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) delivery system was developed by encapsulating TSPCs within a DNA hydrogel as the DNA hydrogel offered an excellent artificial ECM microenvironment by providing nutrition for proliferation and protection against shear forces. [Small] |
|
|
|
| The authors described the design and synthesis of DNA hydrogels, gels composed of DNA that swelled in water, their interactions in vitro with the osteogenic cell lines MC3T3-E1 and mouse calvarial osteoblast, and their promotion of new bone formation in rat calvarial wounds.

|
| Using biochemical, imaging, and multi-omics analyses, researchers found that 11 days of wheel running in male mice causes profound iWAT remodeling including decreased extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and increased vascularization and innervation. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that, compared to standard 2D suspension cultures, 3D collagen as tissue-like environment altered immature dendritic cells properties and their response to HIV-1 infection. [EMBO Reports] |
|
|
|
| Alongside the evaluation of cytocompatibility through in vitro cell viability assay, the wound healing efficacy was also determined in full-thickness skin wounds in a rat model for 15 days. [International Journal of Biological Macromolecules] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported on a model that has reasonable associated costs, could be handled in a regularly equipped cell lab, and was compatible with ex vivo functional assays including drug sensitivity screens. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Culturing single endothelial cells on microgrooved substrates that constitute an idealized mimic of anisotropic basement membrane topography elicited a strong, groove depth-dependent contact guidance response. [Advanced Materials Interfaces] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identified and localized age‑associated ECM differences in human lung using comprehensive transcriptomic, proteomic, and immunohistochemical analyses. [American Journal Of Physiology-Lung Cellular And Molecular Physiology] |
|
|
|
| In a prospective acute myocardial infarction cohort in New Zealand, investigators measured plasma proteins and lipids 30 days after hospital discharge and inferred a unified partial correlation network with echocardiographic variables and established clinical biomarkers. [Frontiers In Cardiovascular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated that the physicochemical properties of the designed hybrids were similar to those of the original RADA16-I. The materials behaved as expected, leaving the active motif free when treated with elastase. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed ECM substitution to remodel the mechanical properties of diabetic cutaneous wounds and thus accelerate diabetic wound healing. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The ECM was tightly regulated and dynamically remodeled; this is an important factor for adipose tissue (AT) expansion and can result in modifications to the physical shape and biological function of AT. [Trends In Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| The authors describe the various origin and heterogeneous activation mechanisms of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and biological heterogeneity of CAFs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is also included. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists cover current strategies targeting myeloid suppressor cells in the tumor microenvironment to enhance anti-tumoral immunity, including strategies that target chemokine receptors to deplete selected immune suppressive myeloid cells and relieve the inhibition imposed on the effector arms of adaptive immunity.

| Dr. Edna Cukierman has been appointed chair-elect of the American Association for Cancer Research’s (AACR) Tumor Microenvironment Working Group at the AACR Annual Meeting 2023, which is being held April 14-19 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. [Fox Chase Cancer Center] |
