Paracrine Activin-A Signaling Promotes Melanoma Growth and Metastasis through Immune Evasion

Daniel Constam, Olivier Andreas Dubey, Susanna Eveliina Kallioinen

The secreted growth factor Activin-A of the transforming growth factor beta family and its receptors can promote or inhibit several cancer hallmarks including tumor cell proliferation and differentiation, vascularization, lymphangiogenesis and inflammation ...

In vivo reprogramming of non-mammary cells to an epithelial cell fate is independent of amphiregulin signaling

Cathrin Brisken, Stéphanie Cagnet

AREG-/- mice demonstrate impaired mammary development and form only rudimentary ductal epithelial trees, however, AREG-/- glands are still capable of undergoing alveologenesis and lactogenesis during pregnancy. Transplantation of AREG-/- mammary epithelial ...

From the early steps of whisker formation to its evolutionary disappearance: the (curious) case of Prdm1 and its regulation

Pierluigi Giuseppe Manti

Whiskers (also known as vibrissae) are sensory organs that are thought to have first appeared in Therapsida, a group of synapsids that includes mammals and evolutionary ancestors like the Thrinaxodon(1). They are highly conserved among mammals to the notab ...

A balancing act between stratification and EMT in cultured human thymic epithelial cells

Matteo Pluchinotta

The thymus is the primary organ for T cell differentiation and maturation. Its stroma forms a characteristic sponge-like 3D structure mainly composed of thymic epithelial cells. Despite of this unconventional epithelial architecture, TECs express markers a ...

Oral transfer of chemical cues, growth proteins and hormones in social insects

Laurent Keller, Laure Menin, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, Oksana Riba Grognuz

Social insects frequently engage in oral fluid exchange trophallaxis between adults, and between adults and larvae. Although trophallaxis is widely considered a food-sharing mechanism, we hypothesized that endogenous components of this fluid might underlie ...

Chronic inflammation imposes aberrant cell fate in regenerating epithelia through mechanotransduction

Matthias Lütolf, Freddy Radtke, Georg Fantner, Yann Barrandon, Pascal Damian Odermatt, Craig Nowell, Sylke Höhnel

Chronic inflammation is associated with a variety of pathological conditions in epithelial tissues, including cancer, metaplasia and aberrant wound healing. In relation to this, a significant body of evidence suggests that aberration of epithelial stem and ...

WIF1 re-expression in glioblastoma inhibits migration through attenuation of non-canonical WNT signaling by downregulating the lncRNA MALAT1

Marta Lai

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and due to the invasive nature cannot be completely removed. The WNT inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1), a secreted inhibitor of WNTs, is systematically downregulated in glioblastoma and acts as str ...

Functional malignant cell heterogeneity in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors revealed by targeting of PDGF-DD

Iacovos Michael

Intratumoral heterogeneity is an inherent feature of most human cancers and has profound implications for cancer therapy. As a result, there is an emergent need to explore previously unmapped mechanisms regulating distinct subpopulations of tumor cells and ...
