Wnt5a Signaling in Normal and Cancer Stem Cells by Yan Zhou, Thomas J. Kipps, Suping Zhang

“…Wnt5a signaling is critical for regulating normal developmental processes, including stem cell self-renewal, proliferation, differentiation, migration, adhesion, and polarity. Moreover, the aberrant activation or inhibition of Wnt5a signaling is emerging as an important event in cancer progression, exerting both oncogenic and tumor suppressive effects. …”

MBL Interferes with Endovascular Trophoblast Invasion in Pre-Eclampsia by Chiara Agostinis, Fleur Bossi, Elisa Masat, Oriano Radillo, Maddalena Tonon, Francesco De Seta, Francesco Tedesco, Roberta Bulla

“…We further demonstrated that mannose-binding lectin (MBL), one of the factor increased in pre-eclamptic patient sera, strongly inhibits the interaction of EVT with C1q interfering with the process of EVT adhesion to and migration through DECs. These data suggest that the increased level of MBL in pre-eclampsia may contribute to the failure of the endovascular invasion of trophoblast cells.…”
