Desmoplakin Maintains Transcellular Keratin Scaffolding and Protects From Intestinal InjurySummary
Background & Aims: Desmosomes are intercellular junctions connecting keratin intermediate filaments of neighboring cells. The cadherins desmoglein 2 (Dsg2) and desmocollin 2 mediate cell–cell adhesion, whereas desmoplakin (Dsp) provides the ...

Spatial Transcriptomic Assessments of Gene Expression Profiles in Human Peri‐Implant Lesions
ABSTRACT Aim To analyse gene expression profiles in human tissue samples obtained from dental implant sites with or without peri‐implantitis. Materials and Methods Soft‐tissue biopsy samples obtained from patients presenting with implants with severe peri‐implantitis and adjacent reference implants with no signs of peri‐implantitis were analysed by ...

Interleukin 1 Signaling Is Regulated by Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) and Is Aberrant in Lif−/− Mouse Uterus [PDF]
This study addresses the regulation of the interleukin 1 (IL1) system in the murine uterine luminal epithelium (LE) and stroma by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Using RT-PCR we compared expression of Il1a, Il1b, Il1rn, Il1r1, and Il1r2 during the pre-

Filamin C Truncation Mutations Are Associated With Arrhythmogenic Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Changes in the Cell-Cell Adhesion Structures. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the phenotype of Filamin C (FLNC) truncating variants in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and understand the mechanism leading to an arrhythmogenic phenotype. BACKGROUND: Mutations in FLNC are known to lead

FRAP analysis reveals stabilization of adhesion structures in the epidermis compared to cultured keratinocytes. [PDF]
Proper development and tissue maintenance requires cell-cell adhesion structures, which serve diverse and crucial roles in tissue morphogenesis. Epithelial tissues have three main types of cell-cell junctions: tight junctions, which play a major role in ...

Profound Re-Organization of Cell Surface Proteome in Equine Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells in Response to In Vitro Culturing [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to characterize the cell surface proteome of native compared to cultured equine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. The RPE plays an essential role in visual function and represents the outer blood-retinal barrier.

Proposed management of myo‐pericardial diseases. A systematic interdisciplinary approach to myo‐pericardial disease is essential to reach a correct diagnosis, starting from multiparametric characterization including EKG, echocardiography with GLS, laboratory exams and CMR or, in case of electric or haemodynamic instability, EMB.
