Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) is abundantly present in the tumor microenvironment, contributing to cancer progression. However, the regulatory mechanism by which TGF-β affects vascular endothelial cells (ECs) in the tumor microenvironment is not well understood. Herein, we generated tamoxifen-inducible TGF-β type II receptor () knockout mice, specifically targeting ECs (TβRII), by crossbreeding TβRII-floxed mice with Pdgfb-icreER mice.

Background: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a common and multidimensional devastating interstitial lung disease. The development of novel and more effective interventions for PF is an urgent clinical need. A previous study has found that miR-181a-5p plays an important role in the development of PF, and human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) exert potent therapeutic potential on PF.

We have previously reported that high-alcohol-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (HiAlc Kpn) in the gut can cause endo-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here, we discover that 91.2% of Kpn isolates from pulmonary disease samples also produce excess ethanol, which may be associated with respiratory disease severity.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors are commonly used to treat non-small cell lung cancers with EGFR mutations, but drug resistance often emerges. Intratumor heterogeneity is a known cause of targeted therapy resistance and is considered a major factor in treatment failure. This study identifies clones of EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung tumors expressing low levels of both wild-type and mutant EGFR protein.

Microphysiological systems (MPS) are complex in vitro tools that incorporate cells derived from various healthy or disease-state human or animal tissues and organs. While MPS have limitations, including a lack of globally harmonized guidelines for standardization, they have already proven impactful in certain areas of drug development. Further research and regulatory acceptance of MPS will contribute to making them even more effective tools in the future.
