Disagreement and fragmentation in growing groups

Jiyong Zhang, Yubo Xie

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 ...

Apelin-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 ...

LncRNA 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 ...

Extracellular 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 ...

Ligand 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 ...

Dynamic extrinsic pacing of the HOX clock in human axial progenitors controls motor neuron subtype specification

Mackenzie Mathis

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 ...

The 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 ...

Inhibitor-conjugated harmonic nanoparticles targeting fibroblast activation protein

Sandrine Gerber, Jérémy Vuilleumier, Raphaël Jovita De Matos

The recent progress in the engineering of nanosized inorganic materials presenting tailored physical properties and reactive surface for post-functionalization has opened promising avenues for the use of nanoparticles (NPs) in diagnosis and therapeutic int ...

Periostin Limits Tumor Response to VEGFA Inhibition

Michele De Palma, Ioanna Keklikoglou, Ece Kadioglu, Axel Bellotti

Resistance to antiangiogenic drugs limits their applicability in cancer therapy. Here, we show that revascularization and progression of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) under extended vascular-endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) blockade are depen ...

Required growth facilitators propel axon regeneration across complete spinal cord injury

Grégoire Courtine, Mark Andrew Anderson, Nicholas David James, Cheng Wang, Sabry Leonardo Barlatey, Michael V. Sofroniew, Zhigang He

Transected axons fail to regrow across anatomically complete spinal cord injuries (SCI) in adults. Diverse molecules can partially facilitate or attenuate axon growth during development or after injury1,2,3, but efficient reversal of this regrowth failure ...
