Article Abstract
Recently, latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 4 (LTBP4) was implicated in the pathogenesis of renal damage through its modulation of mitochondrial dynamics. The seminal article written by Su et al. entitled "LTBP4 (Latent Transforming Growth Factor Beta Binding Protein 4) Protects Against Renal Fibrosis via Mitochondrial and Vascular Impacts" uncovers LTBP4's renoprotective role against acute kidney injury via modulating mitochondrial dynamics. Recently, LTBP4 has emerged as a driver in the mitochondrial-dependent modulation of age-related organ pathologies. This article aims to expand our understanding of LTBP4's diverse roles in these diseases in the context of these recent findings.

Background: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) are effective therapies for inflammatory bowel disease. However, the mechanisms remain unresolved. We found HUMSCs express CD126 (IL-6 receptor), which indicated CD126 sub-populations might show a distinct response to inflammation.

Background: Glycoprotein A-repetitions predominant (GARP) is a cell surface non-signaling receptor for docking and activating latent transforming growth factor beta (LTGFβ) expressed by regulatory T cells, platelets and tumor cells. In lung and breast cancers, its expression correlates with advanced stage and poor prognosis - suggesting that GARP could act as a therapeutic target. This study examines the therapeutic impact of targeting GARP in glioblastoma (GBM) via a novel anti-GARP chimeric antigen receptor-expressing T cell (CAR-T) modality in murine models of GBM.

Worldwide, more than 4 million patients with end-stage kidney disease require hemodialysis through an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). AVFs fail because of venous neointimal hyperplasia (VNH) resulting in venous stenosis formation. A phase 1 randomized trial in patients undergoing upper extremity AVF placement was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in improving AVF function.

Cancer metastasis is the last stage of cancer and can often lead to lethality. Cancer cells invade distal organs and establish an entirely new host microenvironment. Among several cancer-influencing mediators, TGF-β has been observed as a potential pro-oncogene to provoke metastasis.
