The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor/ligand system stimulates multiple pathways of signal transduction, and is activated by various extracellular stimuli and inter-receptor crosstalk signaling. Aberrant activation of EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling is ...
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) play a crucial role in regulating cancer progression, yet the molecular determinant that governs the tumor regulatory role of CAF remains unknown. Using a mouse melanoma model in which exogenous melanoma cells were graft ...
Changes in the mechanical properties of dermis occur during skin aging or tissue remodeling and affect the activity of resident fibroblasts. With the aim to establish elastic culture substrates that reproduce the variable softness of dermis, we determined ...
Aberrantly active Wnt signaling is the hallmark driver of colorectal cancer (CRC). Bcl9/9l proteins are components of the main transcriptional activation complex of canonical Wnt signaling and interact with beta-catenin via a highly conserved homology doma ...
Adult stem cells are characterized by their unique ability to self-renew and give rise to a progeny of specialized/differentiated cells. Therefore, they have a remarkable potential for regenerative medicine. However, the use of adult stem cells is restrain ...
Inflammation can promote or inhibit cancer progression. In this study we have addressed the role of the proinflammatory cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) during skin carcinogenesis. Using conditional loss- and gain-of-function mouse models for N ...
The intestine represents the most vigorously renewing, adult epithelial tissue that makes maintenance of its homeostasis a delicate balance between proliferation, cell cycle arrest, migration, differentiation, and cell death. These processes are precisely ...
SPINK5 (serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 5) encodes the proteinase inhibitor LEKTI (lympho-epithelial Kazal-type related inhibitor). In skin, LEKTI expression is restricted to the stratum granulosum of the epidermis and the inner root sheath of hair fo ...
Visualizing the dynamic behaviors of immune cells in living tissue has dramatically increased our understanding of how cells interact with their surroundings, contributing important insights into mechanisms of leukocyte trafficking, tumor cell invasion, an ...
An asymmetric cell division (ACD) is defined as a division that gives rise to two daughter cells with different fates. It is the most common type of division during development. Analogous to Drosophila neuroblasts, proteins involved in ACD such as Insc and ...
