[Journal of Cellular Biochemistry] Researchers examined the role of Bcl2-associated athanogene (BAG3) to activate human fibroblasts in releasing cytokines capable of supporting tumor progression.

[Cancer Stem Cell News, Intestinal Cell News] The authors observed elevated expression of full-length ECT2 protein in preneoplastic colon adenomas, driven by increased ECT2 mRNA abundance and associated with APC tumor suppressor loss.

[Circulation Journal] Researchers suggest that careful assessment of the status of converted cells using genetic and epigenetic profiling, various functional assays, and the use of multiple readouts is essential to determine successful conversion.

[Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice] Scientists illustrated the molecular mechanisms by which Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) enhanced M2 polarization and wound healing of diabetic foot ulcer.

[PLoS One] Investigators established a model for interleukin 1β (IL-1β)-induced dermatitis and investigated mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways in IL-1β-induced interleukin 8 (IL-8) expression.

[PLoS One] Researchers studied the effect of dietary salt loading on inflammatory process and related extracellular matrix remodeling in the skin. The effect of high salt concentration on dermal fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells was investigated in vitro.
