Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to facilitate angiogenesis and promote neo-vascularization via secretion of trophic factors. Here, we explored the molecular mechanism adopted by ADAMTS13 in modulating the expression of some key angiogenic markers

Cleavage of von Willebrand factor by granzyme M destroys its factor VIII binding capacity. [PDF]
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a pro-hemostatic multimeric plasma protein that promotes platelet aggregation and stabilizes coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) in plasma.

ABSTRACT Background Remission, a term used to describe a goal of treatment for some chronic diseases, has recently been proposed for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, it is unclear what remission means for CRS and why it should serve as a goal in the present‐day treatment of CRS.

Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare and life-threatening blood disorder characterized by the formation of blood clots in small blood vessels. It is caused by antibodies targeting the A disintegrin and metalloprotease with

ABSTRACT Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate antagonist widely used as a disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as in several malignancies and autoimmune disorders. Although low‐dose MTX (5–20 mg/week) is generally considered safe, it has a narrow therapeutic index, and toxicity can occur even at therapeutic doses,

Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive bone malignancy characterized by genomic instability and extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Members of the ADAMTS family are matrix‐associated proteases implicated in tumorigenesis; however, their roles in OS remain poorly defined. This study provides a comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic, and

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in the ADAMTS13 gene caused by a 29-nucleotide deletion
Background In mammalian cells a regulatory mechanism, known as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, degrades mRNA harboring premature termination codons. This mechanism is intron-dependent and functions as a quality control mechanism to eliminate abnormal ...
