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.

When proteases reshape barriers: Basement membrane remodelling in development, wound healing and tumour progression

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Basement membrane (BM) homeostasis relies on a balance between integrity, controlled remodelling and pathological degradation. Increased protease expression beneath the BM, along with reduced levels of endogenous protease inhibitors, drives the transition from a continuous, protective barrier to a discontinuous interface.

Neutrophil Secretory Proteins Inhibit Calcium Oxalate Crystallisation and Crystal Growth, but Promote Crystal Aggregation

Immunology, EarlyView.
Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals cause changes in the secretion of 29 proteins from neutrophil‐like cells, including those involved in neutrophil immune activation and intracellular metabolic adaptation. The neutrophil secreted proteins (secretome) also inhibit calcium oxalate crystallisation and crystal growth, but promote crystal ...
