MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.This study identifies Igκ expression in cardiomyocytes, with predominant localization at ICDs. Cardiomyocyte‐specific Igκ knockout induces cardiac dysfunction and ICDs structural disorganization. Mechanistically, Igκ stabilizes plectin to facilitate desmin‒actin network assembly and anchor desmin to DSP, which is critical for maintaining ICDs ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 8, Page 1807-1813, August 2026.ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive loss‐of‐function variants in PPP1R13L cause an ultra‐rare cardiocutaneous syndrome characterized by rapidly progressive arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). PPP1R13L encodes iASPP, which has two potentially overlapping mechanisms driving ACM as both a regulator of NFκB‐mediated inflammation and a binding partner within the ...

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.• ADAMTS4 is induced primarily in cardiac fibroblasts during sepsis. • ADAMTS4 cleaves TSP1 at the 236–246 aa functional region. • TSP1 cleavage activates TGF‐β/Smad and NF‐κB signalling in fibroblasts. • Targeting ADAMTS4 reduces fibroblast activation and cardiac fibrosis.

Cytokeratin Analysis of Pilomatrixoma: Changes in Cytokeratin-Type Expression During Differentiation [PDF]
, 1988 The various structural components of pilomatrixoma (calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe) were studied for the expression of hair-specific (trichocytic) cytokeratins as well as epithelial cytokeratins, using immunoperoxidase as well as epithelial ...

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.

The complement of desmosomal plaque proteins in different cell types
Journal of Cell Biology, 1985 Desmosomal plaque proteins have been identified in immunoblotting and immunolocalization experiments on a wide range of cell types from several species, using a panel of monoclonal murine antibodies to desmoplakins I and II and a guinea pig antiserum to ...

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.

Morphogenetic Mechanisms of Epithelial Tubulogenesis: MDCK Cell Polarity Is Transiently Rearranged without Loss of Cell–Cell Contact during Scatter Factor/Hepatocyte Growth Factor-Induced Tubulogenesis [PDF]
, 1998 Many organ systems are composed of networks of epithelial tubes. Recently, molecules that induce development of epithelial tubules and regulate sites of branching have been identified.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994 Desmoplakins (DPs) are the most abundant proteins in the innermost portion of the desmosomal plaque and have been proposed to play a role in the attachment of intermediate filaments (IF) to cell-cell contact sites.
