Cadherins establish mechano-resistant junctions between fibrogenic fibroblasts

Philippe Pittet

During wound healing and in a variety of fibrocontractive diseases, fibroblasts differentiate into contractile myofibroblasts by acquiring stress fibers and by expressing α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Myofibroblasts of wound granulation tissue, in contras ...

Simultaneous loss of beta- and gamma-catenin does not perturb hematopoiesis or lymphopoiesis

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch

Hematopietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain life-long hematopoiesis in the bone marrow via their ability to self-renew and to differentiate into all blood lineages. Although a central role for the canonical wnt signaling pathway has been suggested in HSC self- ...

Differential regulation of Dlg1, Scrib, and Lgl1 expression in a transgenic mouse model of ocular cancer

Friedrich Beermann

Purpose: Discs large (dlg), scribble (scrib), and lethal giant larvae (lgl) are major suppressor genes in Drosophila melanogaster. They encode proteins that regulate cell polarity and cell proliferation in Drosophila and mammals. However, their basic oncog ...

Fibrogenic fibroblasts increase intercellular adhesion strength by reinforcing individual OB-cadherin bonds

Andrzej Kulik, Boris Hinz, Jean-Jacques Meister, Kyumin Lee, Philippe Pittet

We have previously shown that the switch from N-cadherin to OB-cadherin expression increases intercellular adhesion between fibroblasts during their transition from a migratory to a fibrogenic phenotype. Using atomic force microscopy we here show that part ...
