ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis
ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes
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.

ABSTRACT Background Pulse oximetry is an accurate diagnostic method for assessing the condition of the dental pulp; however, the normal oxygen saturation levels for each tooth type are yet to be clearly defined. Objectives This systematic review and meta‐analysis aims to answer the question: What are the reference values for pulse oximetry testing in ...
