Legumain Is an Endogenous Modulator of Integrin αvβ3 Triggering Vascular Degeneration, Dissection, and Rupture

Lihong Pan et al.

Summary: The role of legumain (LGMN) in thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) development and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) differentiation was investigated. Elevated LGMN levels were observed in aorta and sera from TAD patients and in BAPN-induced TAD model mice. LGMN was found to regulate VSMC phenotype transformation and its inhibition ameliorated TAD progression.

Lifelong single-cell profiling of cranial neural crest diversification in zebrafish

Peter Fabian et al.

Summary: The cranial neural crest cells acquire diverse lineage potential through progressive and region-specific chromatin remodeling. These cells rapidly differentiate into specialized progenitors, including skeletal progenitors, regenerative stromal cells, fibroblasts linked to skeletal integrity, and gill-specific progenitors generating cell types for respiration. The study identifies candidate lineage-priming factors, such as the Gata3 regulatory circuit for respiratory cell fates, through retrograde mapping of lineage-specific chromatin accessibility.

Regeneration of Jaw Joint Cartilage in Adult Zebrafish

Joanna Smeeton et al.

Summary: The poor intrinsic repair capacity of mammalian joint cartilage likely contributes to the high incidence of arthritis worldwide. Adult zebrafish can regenerate many structures that show limited or no healing capacity in mammals, including the jawbone. Researchers have found that zebrafish can regenerate adult joint cartilage and have identified specific cell types that may be involved in regeneration.

Cardiac Resident Macrophage-Derived Legumain Improves Cardiac Repair by Promoting Clearance and Degradation of Apoptotic Cardiomyocytes After Myocardial Infarction

Daile Jia et al.

Summary: This study reveals the importance of cardiac resident macrophages in the efficient clearance and degradation of apoptotic cardiomyocytes during myocardial infarction, which is crucial for inflammation resolution and tissue repair. The researchers identified Lgmn as a key gene involved in this process and demonstrated its functional significance through various experiments.

A switch in pdgfrb+ cell-derived ECM composition prevents inhibitory scarring and promotes axon regeneration in the zebrafish spinal cord

Vasiliki Tsata et al.

Summary: Our study reveals that injury to the zebrafish spinal cord triggers recruitment of pdgfrb(+) myoseptal and perivascular cells, which is dependent on PDGFR signaling. Interference with pdgfrb(+) cell recruitment or depletion inhibits axonal regrowth and recovery of locomotor function. This switch in ECM composition is crucial for axon regeneration after spinal cord injury.
