Non-Canonical, Extralysosomal Activities of Lysosomal Peptidases in Physiological and Pathological Conditions: New Clinical Opportunities for Cancer Therapy by Ryan Conesa-Bakkali, Macarena Morillo-Huesca, Jonathan Martínez-Fábregas

“…Among these hydrolases, lysosomal proteases have merely been considered as end-destination proteases responsible for the digestion of waste proteins, trafficked to the lysosomal compartment through autophagy and endocytosis. However, recent reports have started to unravel specific roles for these proteases in the regulation of initially unexpected biological processes, both under physiological and pathological conditions. …”

Construction of functional tissue-engineered microvasculatures using circulating fibrocytes as mural cells by Xiaolin Wang, Hong Tan, Harsha P Gunawardena, Jin Cao, Lu Dang, Hongbing Deng, Xueyong Li, Hongjun Wang, Jinqing Li, Caibin Cui, David A Gerber

“…Interestingly, the behaviour of CFs also differs from that of human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs) in vitro , which often infiltrate the lumen of capillary-like structures in a mosaic pattern, actively proliferate and exhibit lower endocytosis and migration capacities. We concluded that CFs are a suitable cellular source for mural cells in the construction of tissue-engineered microvasculatures.…”
