Regenerative biology of tendon: mechanisms for renewal and repair.

Current molecular biology reports

Dyment NA, Galloway JL.
PMID: 26389023
Curr Mol Biol Rep. 2015 Sep;1(3):124-131. doi: 10.1007/s40610-015-0021-3.

Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying tissue turnover and repair are essential towards addressing pathologies in aging, injury and disease. Each tissue has distinct means of maintaining homeostasis and healing after injury. For some, resident stem cell populations...

Osteocytes and Skeletal Pathophysiology.

Current molecular biology reports

Delgado-Calle J, Bellido T.
PMID: 26693137
Curr Mol Biol Rep. 2015 Dec;1(4):157-167. doi: 10.1007/s40610-015-0026-y. Epub 2015 Oct 06.

For many years, osteocytes have been the forgotten bone cells and considered as inactive spectators buried in the bone matrix. We now know that osteocytes detect and respond to mechanical and hormonal stimuli to coordinate bone resorption and bone...

Targeting the Stem Cell Properties of Adult Breast Cancer Cells: Using Combinatorial Strategies to Overcome Drug Resistance.

Current molecular biology reports

Margaryan NV, Seftor EA, Seftor REB, Hendrix MJC.
PMID: 29152453

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. In aggressive cancers, which are heterogeneous in nature, there exists a paucity of targetable molecules that can be used to predict outcome and response to therapy in patients,...

Recent Advances in Retinal Stem Cell Therapy.

Current molecular biology reports

Bhattacharya S, Gangaraju R, Chaum E.
PMID: 29152454
Curr Mol Biol Rep. 2017 Sep;3(3):172-182. doi: 10.1007/s40610-017-0069-3. Epub 2017 Jul 10.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Progress in stem cell research for blinding diseases over the past decade is now being applied to patients with retinal degenerative diseases and soon perhaps, glaucoma. However, the field still has much to learn about the...

Adipose Tissue Residing Progenitors (Adipocyte Lineage Progenitors and Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ADSC).

Current molecular biology reports

Berry R, Rodeheffer MS, Rosen CJ, Horowitz MC.
PMID: 26526875
Curr Mol Biol Rep. 2015 Sep;1(3):101-109. doi: 10.1007/s40610-015-0018-y. Epub 2015 Jul 12.

The formation of brown, white and beige adipocytes have been a subject of intense scientific interest in recent years due to the growing obesity epidemic in the United States and around the world. This interest has led to the...

Paracrine Signaling by Extracellular Vesicles via Osteoblasts.

Current molecular biology reports

Morhayim J, Rudjito R, van Leeuwen JP, van Driel M.
PMID: 27429899
Curr Mol Biol Rep. 2016;2:48-55. doi: 10.1007/s40610-016-0034-6. Epub 2016 Feb 23.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), spherical bilayered proteolipids, behave as paracrine effectors since they are released from cells to deliver signals to other cells. They control a diverse range of biological processes by transferring proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids between cells...

Reciprocal regulation of PPARγ and RUNX2 activities in marrow mesenchymal stem cells: Fine balance between p38 MAPK and Protein Phosphatase 5.

Current molecular biology reports

Stechschulte LA, Lecka-Czernik B.
PMID: 29276666
Curr Mol Biol Rep. 2017 Jun;3(2):107-113. doi: 10.1007/s40610-017-0056-8. Epub 2017 Apr 22.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Post-translational modifications (PTMs), specifically serine phosphorylation, are essential for determination and tuning up an activity of many proteins, including those that are involved in the control of gene transcription. Transcription factors PPARγ2 and RUNX2 are essential...

The Potential of microRNAs for Stem Cell-based Therapy for Degenerative Skeletal Diseases.

Current molecular biology reports

Budd E, Waddell S, de Andrés MC, Oreffo ROC.
PMID: 29214143
Curr Mol Biol Rep. 2017;3(4):263-275. doi: 10.1007/s40610-017-0076-4. Epub 2017 Oct 23.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Degenerative skeletal disorders including osteoarthritis (OA) and osteoporosis (OP) are the result of attenuation of tissue regeneration and lead to painful conditions with limited treatment options. Preventative measures to limit the onset of OA and OP...

Epigenetic Regulation in Prostate Cancer Progression.

Current molecular biology reports

Ruggero K, Farran-Matas S, Martinez-Tebar A, Aytes A.
PMID: 29888169

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: An important number of newly identified molecular alterations in prostate cancer affect gene encoding master regulators of chromatin biology epigenetic regulation. This review will provide an updated view of the key epigenetic mechanisms underlying prostate cancer...

Context-Dependent Function of Myoepithelial Cells in Breast Morphogenesis and Neoplasia.

Current molecular biology reports

Ingthorsson S, Hilmarsdottir B, Kricker J, Magnusson MK, Gudjonsson T.
PMID: 28680803
