Leucurogin, a new recombinant disintegrin cloned from Bothrops leucurus (white-tailed-jararaca) with potent activity upon platelet aggregation and tumor growth [PDF]
Disintegrins and disintegrins-like proteins are able to inhibit platelet aggregation and integrin-mediated cell adhesion. the aim of this study was to produce one disintegrin-like cloned from Bothrops leucurus venom gland and to characterize it regarding

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

A disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs), a family of transmembrane glycoproteins, are expressed in numerous tissues and organs, and have been implicated in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. ADAM15 is unique among the ADAMs in having an Arg-Gly-Asp motif in its disintegrin domain.

Targeting the microbiota‐miRNA‐protease axis: A new therapeutic avenue in melanoma
Modulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is central to melanoma progression and metastasis, driven largely by ECM proteases. This review highlights the epigenetic regulation of ECM proteases by microRNAs and their roles in melanoma growth, invasion, and immune modulation.

Gene expression and matrix turnover in overused and damaged tendons [PDF]
Chronic, painful conditions affecting tendons, frequently known as tendinopathy, are very common types of sporting injury. The tendon extracellular matrix is substantially altered in tendinopathy, and these changes are thought to precede and underlie the
