Disagreement and fragmentation in growing groups
The arise of disagreement is an emergent phenomenon that can be observed within a growing social group and, beyond a certain threshold, can lead to group fragmentation. To better understand how disagreement emerges, we introduce an analytically tractable m ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Apelin-13 Protects Corpus Cavernosum Against Fibrosis Induced by High-Fat Diet in an MMP-Dependent Mechanism
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Mikaël Nils Sturny, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Augusto Martins Lima, Maiia Bragina, Léa Liliane Colette Anguenot
Background: An increased fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa is a prevalent process that underlies most cases of erectile dysfunction. Apelin, an endogenous circulating peptide, has been documented as an important effector on cardiovascular homeostasis, cont ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2021LncRNA Ctcflos orchestrates transcription and alternative splicing in thermogenic adipogenesis
Bart Deplancke, Petra Catalina Schwalie
The recruitment of thermogenic brite adipocytes within white adipose tissue attenuates obesity and metabolic comorbidities, arousing interest in understanding the underlying regulatory mechanisms. The molecular network of brite adipogenesis, however, remai ...
WILEY2021Extracellular Matrix Production by Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Hydrogels Facilitates Cell Spreading and Is Inhibited by FGF-2
Martin Ehrbar, Queralt Vallmajó Martín
In native tissues, the interaction between cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) is reciprocal, as cells not only receive signals from the ECM but also actively remodel it through secretion of cell-derived ECM. However, very little is known ...
2020Ligand Binding to the Collagen VI Receptor Triggers a Talin-to-RhoA Switch that Regulates Receptor Endocytosis
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Luciano Andres Abriata, Béatrice Kunz
Capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2/ANTXR2) is a cell surface receptor for both collagen VI and anthrax toxin. Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in CMG2 lead to a severe condition, hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS). We have here dissected a network o ...
CELL PRESS2020Dynamic extrinsic pacing of the HOX clock in human axial progenitors controls motor neuron subtype specification
Rostro-caudal patterning of vertebrates depends on the temporally progressive activation of HOX genes within axial stem cells that fuel axial embryo elongation. Whether HOX genes sequential activation, the “HOX clock”, is paced by intr ...
2020The heparin binding domain of von Willebrand factor binds to growth factors and promotes angiogenesis in wound healing
Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Yoji Tabata, Jun Ishihara, Kazuto Fukunaga
During wound healing, the distribution, availability, and signaling of growth factors (GFs) are orchestrated by their binding to extracellular matrix components in the wound microenvironment. Extracellular matrix proteins have been shown to modulate angiog ...
