Pulmonary fibrosis is a fatal condition characterized by fibroblast and myofibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition. TGF-β plays a pivotal role in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore, modulation of TGF-β signaling is a promisi...
Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are stromal cells in the pancreas that play an important role in pancreatic pathology. In chronic pancreatitis (CP) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), PSCs are known to get activated to form myofibroblast...

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an integral component of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Most CAFs shape the TME toward an immunosuppressive milieu and attenuate the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. However, the det...

Progressive Encephalopathy with oedema, Hypsarrhythmia and Optic atrophy (PEHO) is a rare, neurodegenerative disorder of unknown aetiology. Nahorski et al. identify the first causative recessive mutation in CCDC88A, which encodes the actin-binding...
In gastric cancer, the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway is activated by Wnt5a, which has a critical role in disease outcome. Previous studies have shown that Wnt5a mediates the expression of the extracellular matrix protein laminin 2 through Ra...
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) in culture are derived from BM stromal cells or skeletal stem cells. Whereas MSCs have been exploited in clinical medicine, the identification of MSC-specific markers has been limited. Here, ...
