Oriented cellulose hydrogel: Directed tissue regeneration for reducing corneal leukoplakia and managing fungal corneal ulcers

Bioactive Materials
Fungal corneal ulcer is one of the leading causes of corneal blindness in developing countries. Corneal scars such as leukoplakia are formed due to inflammation, oxidative stress and non-directed repair, which seriously affect the patients' subsequent ...

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 ...

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

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.

Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid After Anti‐PD‐1 Therapy: Risk‐Stratified Management and Treatment Outcomes

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) following anti‐programmed cell death‐1 (PD‐1) therapy is rare but increasingly reported. Management of high‐ and low‐risk MMP in this setting and the potential oncologic trade‐offs remain poorly defined. We performed a narrative synthesis of all published cases of anti‐PD‐1‐associated MMP, following MEDLINE ...

European S2k guidelines on management of autoimmune blistering diseases in children and adolescents

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Autoimmune blistering disorders (AIBDs) in children are rare, challenging to diagnose and treat and often require immunosuppressants. Until now, no paediatric care guidelines existed. The EADV Task Force for AIBDs has developed the consensus‐based recommendations, enabling physicians to adopt a uniform, tailored treatment strategy to improve outcomes ...

Corneal scarring after epithelium-off collagen cross-linking

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology
Collagen cross-linking (CXL) is considered as a successful therapeutic approach for corneal conditions like keratoconus and corneal ectasia. Despite its efficacy in stabilizing these conditions, the occurrence of post-CXL scars remains a concern ...
