A Scoping Review of the Role of Metalloproteinases in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Pemphigus and Pemphigoid

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Pemphigus and pemphigoid diseases are potentially life-threatening autoimmune blistering disorders that are characterized by intraepithelial and subepithelial blister formation, respectively. In both disease groups, skin and/or mucosal blistering develop

Cadherin composition and multicellular aggregate invasion in organotypic models of epithelial ovarian cancer intraperitoneal metastasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
During epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) progression, intraperitoneally disseminating tumor cells and multicellular aggregates (MCAs) present in ascites fluid adhere to the peritoneum and induce retraction of the peritoneal mesothelial monolayer prior to ...

Tbr1 instructs laminar patterning of retinal ganglion cell dendrites. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Visual information is delivered to the brain by >40 types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Diversity in this representation arises within the inner plexiform layer (IPL), where dendrites of each RGC type are restricted to specific sublaminae ...

Interplay of Eph-Ephrin Signalling and Cadherin Function in Cell Segregation and Boundary Formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The segregation of distinct cell populations to form sharp boundaries is crucial for stabilising tissue organisation, for example during hindbrain segmentation in craniofacial development.

Comparative study of E-cadherin expression between reticular, erosive oral lichen planus and lichenoid lesions

open access: yesDental Research Journal
Background: Accurate and early diagnosis of dysplastic lesions is crucial for successful treatment. A decrease in E-cadherin expression has been observed in dysplastic lesions and tumors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression

Cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion in survival and metastasis: Stat3 versus Akt

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2015
Both cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion are important for epithelial cell differentiation and function. Classical cadherins mediate cell to cell interactions and are potent activators of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat3 ...

Differential Spatiotemporal Expression of Type I and Type II Cadherins Associated With the Segmentation of the Central Nervous System and Formation of Brain Nuclei in the Developing Mouse

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Type I and type II classical cadherins comprise a family of cell adhesion molecules that regulate cell sorting and tissue separation by forming specific homo and heterophilic bonds.

T-cadherin expression alternates with migrating neural crest cells in the trunk of the avian embryo [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Trunk neural crest cells and motor axons move in a segmental fashion through the rostral (anterior) half of each somitic sclerotome, avoiding the caudal (posterior) half.

Genomic alterations in primary gastric adenocarcinomas correlate with clinicopathological characteristics and survival. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Background & aimsPathogenesis of gastric cancer is driven by an accumulation of genetic changes that to a large extent occur at the chromosomal level. In order to investigate the patterns of chromosomal aberrations in gastric carcinomas, we performed

Downregulation of Fzd6 and Cthrc1 and upregulation of olfactory receptors and protocadherins by dietary beta-carotene in lungs of Bcmo1-/- mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
An ongoing controversy exists on beneficial versus harmful effects of high beta-carotene (BC) intake, especially for the lung. To elucidate potential mechanisms, we studied effects of BC on lung gene expression.
