TGFβ determines epithelial tissue spacing by regulating mesenchymal condensation

This study shows that TGFβ signaling regulates mesenchymal condensation, which physically displaces epithelial branches to maintain spacing during lung development.

High-fat circulating nutrients promote growth and invasion in a 3D microfluidic tumor model of triple-negative breast cancer

The paper investigates how high-fat circulating nutrients affect tumor growth and invasion in a 3D microfluidic model of triple-negative breast cancer, finding increased metabolic activity and MMP1 expression.

Vangl facilitates mesenchymal thinning during lung sacculation independently of Celsr

The paper shows Vangl in the pulmonary mesenchyme, not the airway epithelium, is critical for mesenchymal thinning and sacculation during lung development, independent of Celsr1.
