  • Atrial fibrillation in heart failure is associated with high levels of circulating microRNA-199a-5p and 22-5p and a defective regulation of intracellular calcium and cell-to-cell communication
    Garcia-Elias Heras, Anna; Tajes Orduña, Marta; Yañez Bisbe, Laia; Enjuanes Grau, Cristina; Comín Colet, Josep; Serra, Selma A.; Fernández-Fernández, José Manuel, 1967-; Aguilar-Agon, Kathryn W.; Reilly, Svetlana; Martí Almor, Julio; Benito Villabriga, Begoña (MDPI, 2021)
    MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in atrial remodeling and atrial fibrillation (AF) promotion. We determined the circulating miRNA profile in patients with AF and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), and its ...
  • Extracellular fluid viscosity enhances cell migration and cancer dissemination
    Bera, Kaustav; Serra, Selma A.; Valverde, M. A. (Miguel Ángel), 1963-; Konstantopoulos, Konstantinos (Nature Research, 2022)
    Cells respond to physical stimuli, such as stiffness1, fluid shear stress2 and hydraulic pressure3,4. Extracellular fluid viscosity is a key physical cue that varies under physiological and pathological conditions, such ...
  • LRRC8A-containing chloride channel is crucial for cell volume recovery and survival under hypertonic conditions
    Serra, Selma A.; Stojakovic, Predrag; Amat, Ramon; Rubio Moscardó, Fanny; Latorre Doménech, Pablo, 1993-; Seisenbacher, Gerhard; Canadell, David; Böttcher, René; Aregger, Michael; Moffat, Jason; Nadal Clanchet, Eulàlia de; Valverde, M. A. (Miguel Ángel), 1963-; Posas Garriga, Francesc (National Academy of Sciences, 2021)
    Regulation of cell volume is essential for tissue homeostasis and cell viability. In response to hypertonic stress, cells need rapid electrolyte influx to compensate water loss and to prevent cell death in a process known ...
  • Polarized NHE1 and SWELL1 regulate migration direction, efficiency and metastasis
    Zhang, Yuqi; Li, Yizeng; Thompson, Keyata N.; Stoletov, Konstantin; Yuan, Qinling; Bera, Kaustav; Lee, Se Jong; Zhao, Runchen; Kiepas, Alexander; Wang, Yao; Mistriotis, Panagiotis; Serra, Selma A.; Lewis, John D.; Valverde, M. A. (Miguel Ángel), 1963-; Martin, Stuart S.; Sun, Sean X.; Konstantopoulos, Konstantinos (Nature Research, 2022)
    Cell migration regulates diverse (patho)physiological processes, including cancer metastasis. According to the Osmotic Engine Model, polarization of NHE1 at the leading edge of confined cells facilitates water uptake, cell ...
  • The fluid shear stress sensor TRPM7 regulates tumor cell intravasation
    Yankaskas, Christopher L.; Bera, Kaustav; Stoletov, Konstantin; Serra, Selma A.; Carrillo García, Julia, 1993-; Tuntithavornwat, Soontorn; Mistriotis, Panagiotis; Lewis, John D.; Valverde, M. A. (Miguel Ángel), 1963-; Konstantopoulos, Konstantinos (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2021)
    Tumor cell intravasation preferentially occurs in regions of low fluid shear because high shear is detrimental to tumor cells. Here, we describe a molecular mechanism by which cells avoid high shear during intravasation. ...
  • The mechanosensitive Piezo1 channel controls endosome trafficking for an efficient cytokinetic abscission
    Carrillo García, Julia, 1993-; Herrera-Fernández, Víctor; Serra, Selma A.; Rubio Moscardó, Fanny; Vogel-González, Marina; Doñate-Macián, Pau; Hevia, Covadonga F.; Pujades Corbi, Cristina; Valverde, M. A. (Miguel Ángel), 1963- (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2021)
    Mechanical forces are exerted throughout cytokinesis, the final step of cell division. Yet, how forces are transduced and affect the signaling dynamics of cytokinetic proteins remains poorly characterized. We now show that ...
