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

GLGPGVG derived from bovine elastin repairs UV‐induced photoaging in human foreskin fibroblasts and its potential bioavailability

eFood
Studies have indicated the potential of oral elastin hydrolysates in repairing photoaging skin. To reveal the underlying mechanism, this study examined how two elastin‐derived peptides (Gly‐Leu‐Gly‐Pro‐Gly‐Val‐Gly [GLGPGVG] and Pro‐Tyr [PY]) repair ...

Assessment of Extracellular Matrix Fibrous Elements in Male Dermal Aging: A Ten-Year Follow-Up Preliminary Case Study

Biology
Skin aging is a complex phenomenon influenced by multiple internal and external factors that can lead to significant changes in skin structure, particularly the degradation of key extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and elastic fibers ...

Review of articular cartilage repair techniques and their application in the horse

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Articular cartilage lesions represent a significant career‐limiting problem in athletic horses. A healthy articular cartilage surface is vital for optimal joint function, and defects can result in irreversible degenerative changes. Successful treatment of cartilage lesions remains a long‐standing challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, prompting ...

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Human coronary artery organ‐chip with circulating immune cells recapitulates anti‐inflammatory effect of pulsatile wall strain

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
A fully characterised organ‐on‐a‐chip model of the human coronary artery with endothelial and smooth muscle cells, plus circulating immune cells, created on the Emulate platform. The model successfully recapitulates the physiological effects of pulsatile vessel dilation on cell morphology and the localised inflammatory susceptibility to TNF‐α ...

Validated, Reliable, and Novel Skin Frailty Scale for Outpatient Usage and Its Association With Age, Sex, and Non‐Melanoma Skin Cancer: An Observational Study

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Skin frailty (SF) is a common condition affecting adults aged ≥65 years. However, the lack of a validated and reliable visual scale to assess SF severity is a barrier to clinical care and research. In this study, we developed a 9‐parameter Skin Frailty Score (SFS), validated by two board‐certified dermatologists and meeting item and scale level content

Andrographolide Modulates Fibrogenic and Oxidative Stress Responses in Human Lung Fibroblasts

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disorder characterized by fibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Andrographolide (ANDRO) has been reported to attenuate pulmonary fibrosis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.
