A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease (ADAM): Historical Overview of Their Functions [PDF]
Since the discovery of the first disintegrin protein from snake venom and the following identification of a mammalian membrane-anchored metalloprotease-disintegrin implicated in fertilization, almost three decades of studies have identified additional ...

Computational Insights into Flavonoids for ADAMTS-5 Exosite Inhibition in Knee Osteoarthritis: Docking, MD Simulations, and Machine Learning-Guided Structure Prediction [PDF]
The limited selectivity of most catalytic-site ADAMTS-5 inhibitors and the necessity to preserve aggrecan integrity in early-grade knee osteoarthritis require the development of selective aggrecanase inhibitors.

Detectable A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase With Thrombospondin Motifs-1 in Serum Is Associated With Adverse Outcome in Pediatric Sepsis [PDF]
IMPORTANCE:. A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs-1 is hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of invasive infection, but studies in sepsis are lacking. OBJECTIVES:.

Examination of the Efficacy and Cross-Reactivity of a Novel Polyclonal Antibody Targeting the Disintegrin Domain in SVMPs to Neutralize Snake Venom [PDF]
Snake envenomation can result in hemorrhage, local necrosis, swelling, and if not treated properly can lead to adverse systemic effects such as coagulopathy, nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and cardiotoxicity, which can result in death.

Effects of Blocking αvβ3 integrin by a recombinant RGD disintegrin on remodeling of wound healing after induction of incisional hernia in rats [PDF]
PURPOSE: Incisional hernia (IH) is characterized by defective wound healing process. Disba-01, a αvb3 integrin blocker has shown to control the rate of wound repair and therefore it could be a target for new wound healing therapies.The objective of the ...
