Postnatal development of depth-dependent collagen density in ovine articular cartilage [PDF]
Articular cartilage (AC) is the layer of tissue that covers the articulating ends of the bones in diarthrodial joints. Adult AC is characterised by a depth-dependent composition and structure of the extracellular matrix that results in depth-dependent ...

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i or gliptins) increase the risk of developing bullous pemphigoid (BP). To clarify, whether gliptin-associated BP has special features, we analyzed the clinical, histopathological and immunological features of 27 ...

TRPA1 Regulates Fibrosis‐Associated Transcriptional Pathways in Human Lung Epithelial Cells
ABSTRACT Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a cation channel originally identified in lung fibroblasts and extensively studied in sensory neurons, where it is associated with pain and neurogenic inflammation. We and others have recently shown that TRPA1 is also expressed in lung epithelial cells and that its expression is regulated by ...

Radiocarbon reservoir effects in human bone collagen from northern Iceland [PDF]
Human bone collagen from a series of Icelandic human pagan graves was radiocarbon (14C) dated to aid understanding of early settlement (landnám) chronologies in northern Iceland. These individuals potentially consumed marine protein.

The Diagnosis and Blistering Mechanisms of Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid
Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a mucous membrane-dominated autoimmune subepithelial blistering disease that is caused by autoantibodies against various autoantigens in basement membrane zone (BMZ) proteins, including collagen XVII (COL17 ...

ABSTRACT Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease of the elderly who are frequently colonised by Staphylococcus aureus, particularly strains producing the superantigen toxic shock syndrome toxin‐1 (TSST‐1). Given the ability of TSST‐1 to engage the T cell receptor (TCR) Vβ2 chain, we investigated whether superantigen (SAg) exposure ...

Epicutaneous immunization with type II collagen inhibits both onset and progression of chronic collagen-induced arthritis. [PDF]
Epicutaneous immunization is a potential non-invasive technique for antigen-specific immune-modulation. Topical application of protein antigens to barrier-disrupted skin induces potent antigen-specific immunity with a strong Th2-bias.
