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.

Decorin Modulates Fibrin Assembly and Structure [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 Emerging evidence indicates that fibrin clotting is regulated by different external factors. We demonstrated recently that decorin, a regulator of collagen fibrillogenesis and transforming growth factor-beta activity, binds to the D regions of fibrinogen (Dugan, T.A., Yang, V. W.-C., McQuillan, D.J., and Höök, M. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 13655-13662).

Decorin promotes robust axon growth on inhibitory CSPGs and myelin via a direct effect on neurons
Neurobiology of Disease, 2008 Inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and myelin-associated molecules are major impediments to axon regeneration within the adult central nervous system (CNS).

Decorin is a novel antagonistic ligand of the Met receptor.
, 2009 Decorin, a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan gene family, impedes tumor cell growth by down-regulating the epidermal growth factor receptor.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths.

Decorin treatment of spinal cord injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2014 The scarring response after a penetrant central nervous system injury results from the interaction between invading leptominingeal/pericyte-derived fibroblasts and endogenous reactive astrocytes about the wound margin. Extracellular matrix and scar-derived axon growth inhibitory molecules fill the lesion site providing both a physical and chemical ...

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2020 The gene expression and protein synthesis of small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs), including decorin, biglycan, fibromodulin, and lumican, was analyzed in the context of the hypothesis that they are closely related to tooth formation.

Treating age‐related loss of muscle mass and function: Where should we be focusing?
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Perturbations contributing to the age‐related loss of muscle mass and strength. A, in the spinal cord, self‐reinforcing cycles of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation mediated by cells, including microglia, contribute to motor neuron degeneration.
