The Central role of KNG1 gene as a genetic determinant of coagulation pathway-related traits: Exploring metaphenotypes [PDF]

, 2016
Traditional genetic studies of single traits may be unable to detect the pleiotropic effects involved in complex diseases. To detect the correlation that exists between several phenotypes involved in the same biological process, we introduce ...

Frog foams and natural protein surfactants [PDF]

, 2017
Foams and surfactants are relatively rare in biology because of their potential to harm cell membranes and other delicate tissues. However, in recent work we have identified and characterized a number of natural surfactant proteins found in the foam ...

Phylogenomic analysis of the cystatin superfamily in eukaryotes and prokaryotes

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background The cystatin superfamily comprises cysteine protease inhibitors that play key regulatory roles in protein degradation processes. Although they have been the subject of many studies, little is known about their genesis, evolution and functional

Changes in mouse whole saliva soluble proteome induced by tannin-enriched diet [PDF]

, 2010
Background Previous studies suggested that dietary tannin ingestion may induce changes in mouse salivary proteins in addition to the primarily studied proline-rich proteins (PRPs).

Disordered Bile Acid Metabolism in Alcohol‐Related Hepatitis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Serum conjugated primary bile acids accumulate in alcohol‐related hepatitis due to downregulation of hepatocyte bile acid transporters. Hepatocyte growth factor is elevated in alcohol‐related hepatitis and downregulates BSEP expression. This detrimentally affects the hepatoprotective adaptive reduction in NTCP/increase in BSEP seen in cholestasis ...

Novel Molecules for Intra-Oral Delivery of Antimicrobials to Prevent and Treat Oral Infectious Diseases [PDF]

, 2008
New molecules were designed for efficient intra-oral delivery of antimicrobials to prevent and treat oral infection. The salivary statherin fragment, which has high affinity for the tooth enamel, was used as a carrier peptide. This was linked through the

Cyclo19,31[D-Cys19]-uPA19-31 is a potent competitive antagonist of the interaction of urokinase-type plasminogen activator with its receptor (CD87) [PDF]

, 2001
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) represents a central molecule in pericellular proteolysis and is implicated in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes such as tissue remodelling, wound healing, tumor invasion, and ...

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...

TREM2 in Macrophages Promotes Renal Fibrosis via Activation of β‐Catenin Signalling Pathway in Obstructive Nephropathy

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) promotes obstructive nephropathy progression by activating the β‐catenin signalling pathway, driving M2 macrophage polarisation, migration and fibrogenic gene expression. targeted inhibition of TREM2 thus represents a promising novel strategy against renal fibrosis.
