Arterial mechanics, extracellular matrix, and smooth muscle differentiation in carotid arteries deficient for Rac1

R. K. Assoian, T. Xu, E. Roberts

This study investigates whether Rac1 deletion affects SMC proliferation by altering arterial stiffness or differentiation, finding no significant changes in ECM composition, stiffness, or SMC markers.

Rac rather than Rho drives the early transcriptional response to extracellular matrix stiffness and mediates repression of ATF3

I. Dang, Y. Bae, J. A. Brazzo, R. K. Assoian

The paper investigates the role of Rac and Rho in the transcriptional response to ECM stiffness and finds Rac drives the early response and represses ATF3.

Efemp1 modulates elastic fiber formation and mechanics of the extrahepatic bile duct

J. Llewellyn, E. Roberts, C. Liu, A. Naji, R. K. Assoian, R. G. Wells

This study shows EFEMP1 is crucial for elastic fiber formation and mechanical properties of the extrahepatic bile duct, with reduced EFEMP1 leading to increased compliance and potential role in biliary atresia.
