The role of lysosomal cysteine proteases in tumor progression
Бюллетень сибирской медицины, 2009 Cysteine cathepsins have been known for a long time to play an important role in cancer progression. Here we summarize their impact to the hallmark processes of malignant growth such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis.

The ectodomain of Toll-like receptor 9 is cleaved to generate a functional receptor. [PDF]
, 2008 Mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3, 7, 8 and 9 initiate immune responses to infection by recognizing microbial nucleic acids; however, these responses come at the cost of potential autoimmunity owing to inappropriate recognition of self nucleic acids.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...
