Desmoplakin: an unexpected regulator of microtubule organization in the epidermis [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2007
Despite their importance in cell shape and polarity generation, the organization of microtubules in differentiated cells and tissues remains relatively unexplored in mammals. We generated transgenic mice in which the epidermis expresses a fluorescently labeled microtubule-binding protein and show that in epidermis and in cultured keratinocytes ...

Carvajal syndrome: a brief overview and clinical case of cardiomyopathy, associated with compound heterozygous mutations of the desmoplakin gene

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2018
Mutations in the genes encoding desmosomal proteins cause a wide range of diseases associated with abnormalities of the skin, hair and heart. In 45-50% these mutations determine the development of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

Acute Myocarditis: From Pathophysiology to Risk‐Stratified Management—A Clinical Review

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 8, August 2026.
Stepwise approach to patients with suspected acute myocarditis, integrating the 2024 American College of Cardiology (ACC) four‐stage classification (Stages A–D) and the 2025 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) inflammatory myopericardial syndrome (IMPS) framework. Step 1 (Initial Assessment): clinical presentation, first‐line investigations (ECG, high‐

Epidermolysis Bullosa Classification and Current Approach to Diagnosis

Pediatric Dermatology, Volume 43, Issue S2, Page 5-15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of rare genodermatoses marked by skin fragility and bullae formation induced by minor trauma. Pathologic variants in at least 21 genes are associated with EB, grouped into four major subtypes based predominantly on the plane of cleavage within the skin.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 7, Page 1780-1799, July 2026.
This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Targeting Supramolecular Active Complexes of Nav1.7/Nav1.8 to Relieve Chronic Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
In mice and patients with severe chronic neuropathic pain (NP), Nav1.7, Nav1.8, TrkB, and five cytoskeletal proteins form supramolecular active complexes (SMACs) with polygonal lattice structures as noxious signal amplifiers in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons.

Desmoplakin is required for microvascular tube formation in culture [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2004
Desmoplakin (DP) is a key component of cellular adhesion junctions known as desmosomes; however, recent investigations have revealed a novel location for DP in junctions separate from desmosomes termed complexus adherens junctions. These junctions are found at contact sites between endothelial cells that line capillaries.

Highly Biomimetic Ectodermal Epithelial Organoids for Epithelial Barrier Stimulation Assays

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Evaluating the potential toxicity of pharmaceuticals and biomaterials to ectodermal epithelia, such as the oral mucosa and skin, is indispensable in pre‐clinical assessments. However, this remains a challenge primarily owing to the lack of physiologically relevant and accurate screening models.

Paraneoplastic Pemphigus/Paraneoplastic Autoimmune Multiorgan Syndrome Associated With Castleman Disease: Multidisciplinary Management of a Rare Life‐Threatening Syndrome

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Refractory oral erosions or polymorphous eruptions should prompt evaluation for paraneoplastic pemphigus, particularly when associated with mediastinal masses. Early tumor excision, multidisciplinary care, and vigilant monitoring for bronchiolitis obliterans are essential to improve outcomes in Castleman disease–associated paraneoplastic ...
