The identification of molecules that make cancer cells detectable by the immune system represents a major challenge in tumor immunology. Alarmins, endogenous, stress-induced molecules, serve as early warning signals triggering immune responses. The human RNASET2 protein has demonstrated both oncosuppressive and immunoregulatory functions across various cancer types, yet its role as an oncosuppressor or alarmin-like molecule in prostate cancer (PCa) is unexplored.

Secreted proteins are crucial for the structure and functions of the human epidermis, but the full repertoire of the keratinocyte secretome has not been experimentally defined. In this study, we performed mass spectrometry on conditioned media from primary human keratinocytes, identifying 406 proteins with diverse roles in adhesion, migration, proliferation, proteolysis, signal transduction, and innate immunity. To leverage this new dataset, we developed a novel colony formation assay-based CRISPR screen to investigate the functions of uncharacterized secreted proteins on epidermal stem cells.

The trigeminal ganglion emerges from the condensation of two distinct precursor cell populations, cranial placodes and neural crest. While its dual cellular origin is well understood, the molecules underlying its formation remain relatively obscure. Trigeminal ganglion assembly is mediated, in part, by neural cadherin (N-cadherin), which is initially expressed by placodal neurons and is required for their proper coalescence with neural crest cells.

Vasculogenic assembly of 3D capillary networks remains a promising approach to vascularizing tissue-engineered grafts, a significant outstanding challenge in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Current approaches for vasculogenic assembly rely on the inclusion of supporting mesenchymal cells alongside endothelial cells, co-encapsulated within vasculo-conducive materials such as low-density fibrin hydrogels. Here, we established a material-based approach to circumvent the need for supporting mesenchymal cells and report that the inclusion of synthetic matrix fibers in dense (>3 mg mL) 3D fibrin hydrogels can enhance vasculogenic assembly in endothelial cell monocultures.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) remains a significant clinical challenge, often leading to long-term functional impairment. Despite advances in therapies, current repair strategies offer unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. Exosomes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-Exos) have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach in regenerative medicine.
