Effect of Decorin and Aligned Collagen Fibril Topography on TGF-β1 Activation of Corneal Keratocytes [PDF]
During corneal wound healing, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) causes differentiation of quiescent keratocytes into myofibroblasts. Decorin has been investigated as a promising anti-fibrotic therapeutic for corneal healing due to its ...

Compensatory fetal membrane mechanisms between biglycan and decorin in inflammation. [PDF]
Preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes (PPROM) is associated with infection, and is one of the most common causes of preterm birth. Abnormal expression of biglycan and decorin, two extracellular matrix proteoglycans, leads to preterm birth and ...

Decreased Serum Decorin Levels Are Correlated with Aortic Stiffness as Assessed Using Carotid–Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity in Patients with Peritoneal Dialysis [PDF]
In patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD), aortic stiffness (AS) is a common cardiovascular condition that can predict cardiovascular events and mortality. Decorin is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan that plays a vital role in extracellular matrix

Decorin Deficiency Promotes D‐Galactose–Induced Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Fibrosis by Regulating ITGB1/Akt/mTOR Signalling Pathway [PDF]
Background Primary sarcopenia is an age‐associated disorder with progressive and generalised loss of skeletal muscle strength and mass. Skeletal muscle fibrosis is one of the significant pathological manifestations of age‐associated sarcopenia.

Decorin deficiency promotes hepatic carcinogenesis [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma represents one of the most-rapidly spreading cancers in the world. In the majority of cases, an inflammation-driven fibrosis or cirrhosis precedes the development of the tumor.

Decorin Regulates Cartilage Pericellular Matrix Micromechanobiology.
In cartilage tissue engineering, one key challenge is for regenerative tissue to recapitulate the biomechanical functions of native cartilage while maintaining normal mechanosensitive activities of chondrocytes. Thus, it is imperative to discern the micromechanobiological functions of the pericellular matrix, the ~ 2-4 µm-thick domain that is in ...
