CCN5 is one of six proteins in the CCN family. This family of proteins has been shown to play important roles in many processes, including proliferation, migration, adhesion, extracellular matrix regulation, angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, fibrosis, and implantation. In this review, we focus on the biological and putative pathophysiological roles of CCN5. This intriguing protein is structurally unique among the CCN family members, and has a unique biological activity profile as well.

Background: The presence of glioma stem cells (GSCs) and the occurrence of mesenchymal phenotype transition contribute to the miserable prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM). Cellular communication network factor 1 (CCN1) is upregulated within various malignancies and associated with cancer development and progression, while the implications of CCN1 in the phenotype transition and tumorigenicity of GSCs remain unclear.
Methods: Data for bioinformatic analysis were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) databases.

The present manuscript reports on the progress made toward the official announcement of the first World Conference on Cellular Communication and Signaling. This conference is made possible by the Association for research on biosignaling and communication initiative, which was originally launched in 2020 and revitalized during the 12th International Workshop on the Cell Communication Network family of genes in Oslo (June 20-23, 2024). The aim of this conference is to facilitate interactions among the members of societies interested in all aspects of research on Biosignaling and Communication.

Article Synopsis
- Gastric cancer (GC) is a rising global health concern, and the study investigates the role of CCN family proteins in predicting GC prognosis.
- Researchers analyzed microarray datasets to identify differences in gene expression between GC and non-tumor tissues, focusing on CCN genes and their functions.
- The study found that WISP1, a member of the CCN family, is overexpressed in GC and linked to poor patient survival, suggesting it could serve as a prognostic marker and a target for therapy.
