Changes in the salivary protein profile of morbidly obese women either previously subjected to bariatric surgery or not [PDF]
, 2015 Saliva is a non-invasive source of biomarkers useful in the study of physiological mechanisms. Moreover, this fluid has diverse functions, among which food perception and ingestion, making it particularly suitable for the study of obesity.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

A five-residue motif for the design of domain swapping in proteins
Nature Communications, 2019 Designing interfaces that can induce protein-protein interactions is a challenging problem. Here the authors show that a five amino acid sequence known to mediate domain swapping in cystatins can drive oligomerization when grafted onto functionally and ...

Salivary proteome and glucose levels are related with sweet taste sensitivity in young adults [PDF]
, 2017 Sweet taste plays a critical role in determining food preferences and choices. Similar to what happens for other oral sensations, individuals differ in their sensitivity for sweet taste and these inter-individual differences may be responsible for ...
