Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior
Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...

Significance of epitope spreading in the pathogenesis of pemphigus vulgaris and foliaceus [PDF]
Os pênfigos são dermatoses bolhosas auto-imunes, em que há a produção de auto-anticorpos direcionados contra moléculas de adesão dos epitélios, levando à perda da coesão celular.

Implications of normal and disordered remodeling dynamics of corneodesmosomes in stratum corneum
Desmosomes and corneodesmosomes are the most important adhering junctions, providing strength for the epidermal sheet structure made of living keratinocytes and enucleated stratum corneum corneocytes, respectively.

Dear Editor, Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare, but potentially fatal autoimmune disease, which could affect both skin and mucous membranes. During this disease, autoantibodies are mainly directed against the adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg)1 and Dsg3,

Electron microscopy of desmosomal structures in the pemphigus human skin organ culture model
Pemphigus is a chronic autoimmune skin blistering disease, characterized by acantholysis and by the production of autoantibodies directed against the structural desmosomal proteins desmoglein 1 (DSG1) and/or DSG3.

Background and Purpose Most older people use polypharmacy (≥5 medications), particularly those with cardiovascular disease. The effects of polypharmacy on the cardiovascular system are not well described. We examined the effect of a chronic polypharmacy regimen on left ventricular (LV) function, structure and proteome in young and old mice of both ...

Lesions of pemphigus vulgaris on irradiated skin [PDF]
Summary Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disease produced by IgG autoantibodies against desmoglein (Dsg)3. Lesions on the skin and mucosa can, in rare cases, be induced by radiotherapy.

Ageing causes actin cytoskeleton disorganization, a reduction in cellular components associated with the actin cytoskeleton and focal adhesions, and a reduction in skin firmness. Galactomyces ferment filtrate boosts actin stability, increases expression of anchoring junction proteins, including focal adhesions and protects against loss of firmness ...

Multigene Next-Generation Sequencing Panel Identifies Pathogenic Variants in Patients with Unknown Subtype of Epidermolysis Bullosa: Subclassification with Prognostic Implications [PDF]
Purpose: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), the prototype of heritable blistering diseases, is caused by mutations in as many as 19 distinct genes. In this study, we evaluated the molecular basis of EB in 93 families, many of them of unknown subtype. Methods:
