Netrin-Like Domain of sFRP4, a Wnt Antagonist Inhibits Stemness, Metastatic and Invasive Properties by Specifically Blocking MMP-2 in Cancer Stem Cells from Human Glioma...

[Experimental Cell Research] Researchers explored the efficacy of the domains of secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (sFRP4) in inhibiting the key hallmarks of glioblastoma such as invasion, metastasis, and stemness.

Cromolyn Platform Suppresses Fibrosis and Inflammation, Promotes Microglial Phagocytosis and Neurite Outgrowth

[Scientific Reports] Scientists utilized cromolyn, a mast cell inhibitor with anti-inflammatory capabilities, and its fluorinated analogue F-cromolyn to study fibrosis-related protein regulation and secretion downstream of neuroinflammation and their ability to promote microglial phagocytosis and neurite outgrowth.

High-Impact FN1 Mutation Decreases Chondrogenic Potential and Affects Cartilage Deposition via Decreased Binding to Collagen Type II

[Science Advances] Researchers aimed to identify the causal pathogenic mutation in an early-onset osteoarthritis family, followed by functional studies in human iPSCs in an in vitro organoid cartilage model.

Adhesive-Ligand-Independent Cell-Shaping Controlled by the Lateral Deformability of a Condensed Polymer Matrix

[Polymer Journal] The authors used PNIPAAm-grafted substrates as a typical hydrophobic condensed polymer surface to investigate the effects of the lateral mobility of an adhesive ligand in the setting of lateral deformability of hydrophobic condensed polymer layers.

miRNA-200c-3p Targets Talin-1 to Regulate Integrin-Mediated Cell Adhesion

[Scientific Reports] Overexpression of miR-200c-3p resulted in a remarkable decrease in the expression of TLN1, which was associated with the suppression of integrin-mediated cell adhesion to fibronectin.

Mechanics-Driven Nuclear Localization of YAP Can Be Reversed by N-Cadherin Ligation in Mesenchymal Stem Cells

[Nature Communications] Researchers developed a material and culture system for modifying and measuring the degree to which cells retained cumulative effects of mechanosensing.
