Astrocytes are the most abundant type of glial cell in the central nervous system.Upon injury and inflammation,astrocytes become reactive and undergo morphological and functional changes.Depending on their phenotypic ...
Connective tissue is a dynamic structure that reacts to environmental cues to maintain homeostasis,including mechanical properties.Mechanical load influences extracellular matrix(ECM)—cell interactions and modulates ...
Integrin β4 (ITGB4) is emerging as a pivotal player in breast cancer progression, particularly in aggressive and invasive subtypes such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This review broadly summarizes current ...
