WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...

Inhibition of adipogenesis by RGD-dependent disintegrin
Biochemical Pharmacology, 2005 Adipogenesis plays a central role in obesity development. The processes of adipogenesis include migration, adhesion, proliferation and survival of preadipocytes and differentiation to mature adipocytes. Many of these biological functions are related to integrins.
