Sex differences in apolipoprotein A1 and nevirapine‐induced toxicity

Journal of the International AIDS Society, 2014
Nevirapine (NVP) is associated with severe liver and skin toxicity through sulfotransferase (SULT) bioactivation of the phase I metabolite 12‐hydroxy‐NVP [1–3]. The female sex, a well‐known risk factor for NVP‐induced toxicity, is associated with higher SULT expression [4] and lower plasma levels of 12‐hydroxy‐NVP [3]. Interestingly, apolipoprotein A1 (

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
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.

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Advances in the Study of Endometrial Receptivity and Glucose Metabolism Mechanisms in Insulin Resistance

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
This article systematically reviews how insulin resistance (IR) disrupts endometrial receptivity by interfering with glucose metabolism mechanisms, ultimately leading to infertility in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). ABSTRACT Introduction Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the important pathologic bases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Relationship Between Central Sensitization and Genetic Polymorphisms—A Case–Control Study in Fibromyalgia

European Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 6, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterised by widespread chronic pain, which is believed to be mediated by a state of central sensitisation (CS). Based on the hypothesis that CS itself could have genetic determinants, our aim was to further explore this pathway.

Context‐Dependent Effects of Apolipoprotein A2 on Lipid Metabolism and Atherogenesis

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
Proposed model of the pro‐atherogenic role of APOA2 in dyslipidemia. Under conditions of dyslipidemia (ldlr−/− and apoe−/− mice), APOA2 promotes a reduction in VLDL through its conversion to LDL via an LDLR‐independent pathway. LDL is then deposited to the aorta and aortic root. In the ldlr−/− mice, the presence of APOE may mitigate the rate of VLDL to

Lipid Dynamics in the Amyloid Cascade Hypothesis: Evaluating the Biological Relevance of In Vitro Models

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
This review reconsiders the amyloid cascade by placing lipid dynamics at its core. It shows that free lipids, governed by critical micellar concentration, act as pathological chaperones that redirect amyloid aggregation toward membrane‐damaging species.

Small Extracellular Vesicles from Neural Cells: Physiological and Pathological Roles, and Potential in Neurodegenerative Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 21, 5 June 2026.
Neural cell–derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as pivotal mediators in neurodegenerative diseases, exerting both pathogenic and therapeutic functions. This review synthesizes current evidence on how sEVs from distinct neural cell types regulate neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, biomarker discovery, and targeted drug delivery ...
