Mechanics-driven nuclear localization of YAP can be reversed by N-cadherin ligation in mesenchymal stem cells

Cheng Zhang et al.

Summary: Mesenchymal stem cells differentiate based on mechanical cues in their environment, retaining cumulative effects of mechanosensing. The authors developed a system to modify and measure the degree of these effects, finding that some mechanical memory associated with specific protein motifs can be erased while others are retained. Results suggest that controlled storage and removal of proteins associated with mechanical memory in mesenchymal stem cells is possible through programmable material systems.

Cheng Zhu et al.

Summary: This study used molecular modeling to investigate the binding of different shaped HAp nanoparticles to AP2 protein at the atomic level, revealing that their morphology determines binding specificity through electrostatic interactions. The results showed that globular HAp significantly changes AP2 protein conformation, while needle-shaped HAp has stronger binding energy with AP2. This work provides insights into cargo recognition in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and the design principles of high-efficiency nano-biomaterials for potential anti-tumor therapeutic effects.

Nanoparticle-me diate d specific elimination of soft cancer stem cells by targeting low cell stiffness

Xi Chen et al.

Summary: Low cellular stiffness of cancer stem cells (CSCs) enables higher uptake of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) compared to bulk tumor cells, and can be enhanced/suppressed through softening/stiffening cells, leading to specific elimination of CSCs. Soft CSCs enhance drug release, cellular retention, and nuclear accumulation of drug-loaded N-GQDs, facilitating the eradication of malignant CSCs with minimal side effects. This reveals a new paradigm of cancer mechanomedicine utilizing low cellular stiffness as a mechanical target for specific CSC elimination.
