Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed primarily of the network type II collagen
(COLII) and an interlocking mesh of fibrous proteins and proteoglycans (PGs), hyaluronic …

Filamins are large actin-binding proteins that stabilize delicate three-dimensional actin
filament networks and link them to cellular membranes where they integrate cell …

Urbanization drastically transforms landscapes, resulting in fragmentation, degradation, and
the loss of local biodiversity. Yet, urban environments also offer opportunities to observe …

Large‐scale cancer genome sequencing has uncovered thousands of gene mutations, but
distinguishing tumor driver genes from functionally neutral passenger mutations is a major …

Filamins are essential, evolutionarily conserved, modular, multidomain, actin-binding

Context Familial short stature (FSS) is a term describing a growth disorder that is vertically
transmitted. Milder forms may result from the combined effect of multiple genes; more severe …

Filamin A (FLNA) is a large actin-binding cytoskeletal protein that is important for cell motility
by stabilizing actin networks and integrating them with cell membranes. Interestingly, a C …

Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density and structural deterioration of
bone tissue, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is the most common metabolic bone …

Background Cellular reprogramming is a stressful process, which requires cells to engulf
somatic features and produce and maintain stemness machineries. Autophagy is a process …
