Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

, 2005
The current paradigm for the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is that chronic airflow limitation results from an abnormal inflammatory response to inhaled particles and gases in the lung. Airspace inflammation appears to be different

Engineered Tissue Models to Decode Host–Microbiota Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Host–Microbiota interactions in the human body. Created in BioRender. Ghezzi, C. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ihivskg. Abstract A mutualistic co‐evolution exists between the host and its associated microbiota in the human body. Bacteria establish ecological niches in various tissues of the body, locally influencing their physiology and functions, but ...

Vascular smooth muscle Sirtuin-1 protects against aortic dissection during Angiotensin II-induced hypertension [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Sirtuin-1 (SirT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(+)-dependent deacetylase, is a key enzyme in the cellular response to metabolic, inflammatory, and oxidative stresses; however, the role of endogenous SirT1 in the vasculature has not ...

Fish Swim Bladder‐Derived ECM Hydrogels Effectively Treat Myocardial Ischemic Injury through Immunomodulation and Angiogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A unique hydrogel based on extracellular matrix from fish swim bladder, which is suitable for transcatheter delivery and possesses remarkable reparative capabilities for treating heart failure, is developed. It emerges as a multi‐effect factor profoundly influencing inflammation regulation, angiogenesis, and myocardial metabolism.

The Impact of Vein Mechanical Compliance on Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes [PDF]

, 2016
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. Background Arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) are the preferred access for hemodialysis but suffer a high early failure rate. The aim of this study was to determine how venous distensibility, as measured in vitro, relates to early ...

Wogonin Attenuates Atherosclerosis via KLF11‐Mediated Suppression of PPARα‐YAP1‐Driven Glycolysis and Enhancement of ABCA1/G1‐Mediated Cholesterol Efflux

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PPARα promotes KLF11 expression and recruits KLF11 and YAP1 to form a transcription complex, where KLF11 acts as a brake in PPARα‐YAP1‐mediated glycolysis. Wogonin reshapes the metabolism of macrophages from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation via activation of the PPARα‐KLF11‐YAP1 pathway, by which wogonin reduces inflammation and foam cell formation ...

Degradation of connective tissue matrices by macrophages. III. Morphological and biochemical studies on extracellular, pericellular, and intracellular events in matrix proteolysis by macrophages in culture. [PDF]

, 1980
We have shown that macrophages in culture degrade the glycoproteins and amorphous elastin of insoluble extracellular matrices. Ultrastructural observation of the macrophage-matrix interaction revealed that connective tissue macromolecules were ...

Protein-based materials, toward a new level of structural control [PDF]

, 2001
Through billions of years of evolution nature has created and refined structural proteins for a wide variety of specific purposes. Amino acid sequences and their associated folding patterns combine to create elastic, rigid or tough materials.

Calpain‐2‐Mediated Endothelial Focal Adhesion Disruption in Thoracic Aortic Dissection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The elevated expression of Capn2 in endothelial cells activates focal adhesion signaling by cleaving Talin1 and assembling Itgav, which compromises the integrity of the endothelial barrier and induces vascular inflammation. Inhibition of calpain through both pharmacological and transgenic approaches has effectively suppressed the onset and progression ...

Elastases and Elastin Degradation.

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982
The metabolic turnover of mature elastin fibers in adult animals is relatively slow. Although only small amounts of elastin are degraded normally, increased degradation and fragmentation of elastic fibers may play a significant role in disease processes. Elastinolytic enzymes are found in microorganisms, snake venoms, and in a number of mammalian cells
