Perlecan, A Multi-Functional, Cell-Instructive, Matrix-Stabilizing Proteoglycan With Roles in Tissue Development Has Relevance to Connective Tissue Repair and Regeneration

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
This review highlights the multifunctional properties of perlecan (HSPG2) and its potential roles in repair biology. Perlecan is ubiquitous, occurring in vascular, cartilaginous, adipose, lymphoreticular, bone and bone marrow stroma and in neural tissues.

Host Cell Protein Challenges in Antibody Processing: Insights Into Persistence and Mitigation Strategies

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistence of HCPs remains a major purification challenge in biopharmaceutical manufacturing with direct consequences for product quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. Over the last two decades, deeper insights into the mechanisms driving HCP persistence have clarified why certain proteins evade removal during purification ...

Substrate stiffness regulates cell fate and its applications in the repair of motor system: From two dimensions to three dimensions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Substrate stiffness with different dimensions (2D and 3D) exerts a regulatory role in cellular behaviors, thereby governing cell fate decisions. Biomaterials with tunable stiffness exhibit substantial functional potential for the repair and regeneration of the motor system.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...
