Purpose: Purpose The role of endothelial Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP) in the pathogenesis of retinal angiogenesis and the astrocyte network in the mouse oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model is unknown.
Methods: For in vivo studies, OIR was induced in conditional endothelial YAP knockout mice and their wild-type littermates. Retinal vascularization and the astrocyte network were evaluated by whole-mount fluorescence and Western blotting. In vitro experiments were performed in astrocytes cultured with human microvascular endothelial cell-1-conditioned medium to analyze the mechanisms underlying the effect of endothelial YAP on astrocytes.

Background: The early stages of tumor bone metastasis are closely associated with changes in the vascular niche of the bone microenvironment, and abnormal angiogenesis accelerates tumor metastasis and progression. However, the effects of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells reprogrammed by the bone microenvironment on the vascular niche within the bone microenvironment and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the effects and mechanisms of LUAD cells reprogrammed by the bone microenvironment on endothelial cells and angiogenesis, providing insights into the influence of tumor cells on the vascular niche within the bone microenvironment.

The cornea, the anterior meniscus-shaped transparent and refractive structure of the eyeball, is the first mechanical barrier of the eye. Its functionality heavily relies on the health of its endothelium, its most posterior layer. The treatment of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) deficiency is allogeneic corneal graft using stored donor corneas.

Article Synopsis
- Fluid shear stress is crucial for regulating cell behavior, maintaining tissue health, and influencing disease, necessitating an understanding of how cells respond to different shear stress levels.
- A new flow-resistance module with three microchannels was created to simulate various shear stress levels, validated through computational simulations and experiments.
- The study examined cellular responses, including gene expression and changes in structure, under different shear stresses, demonstrating that the module effectively characterizes these cellular responses.

Objective: The aim of this research was to investigate the specific regulatory role of miR-6760-5p in angiogenesis in moyamoya disease.
Methods: HUVECs were transfected with miR-6760-5p inhibitor and mimics fragments, then subjected to assays for cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation. Subsequently, downstream target genes of miR-6760-5p were predicted and the protein expression levels of these genes were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally, with metastasis being a key factor in these fatalities.
- The study investigates the role of the TEA domain transcription factor 4 (TEAD4) in promoting tumor cell adhesion and migration through the regulation of the adhesion molecule Fibronectin (FN1), highlighting its potential links to cancer metastasis.
- Curcumin is shown to reduce the migration and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells by inhibiting TEAD4's interaction with the FN1 promoter, suggesting that targeting the TEAD4-FN1 axis could help mitigate breast cancer metastasis.
