Collagen peptides affect collagen synthesis and the expression of collagen, elastin, and versican genes in cultured human dermal fibroblasts

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundCollagen is one of the major proteins of the skin and it is particularly important for its strength and resilience. Skin aging is a natural process that is characterized by the decrease and fragmentation of collagen in the dermis.

Self-assemble peptide biomaterials and their biomedical applications

Bioactive Materials, 2019
Inspired by self-assembling peptides found in native proteins, deliberately designed engineered peptides have shown outstanding biocompatibility, biodegradability, and extracellular matrix-mimicking microenvironments.

Liraglutide reprograms vascular smooth muscle cell metabolism to suppress extracellular matrix remodeling in diabetic atherosclerosis

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Liraglutide reverses hyperglycemia‐induced metabolic reprogramming in vascular smooth muscle cells, restoring mitochondrial function and AMPK/PGC‐1α signaling while suppressing mTOR activation and HIF‐1α accumulation. These changes attenuate extracellular matrix remodeling, reduce atherosclerotic plaque burden, and improve plaque stability in diabetic ...

Ocular Manifestations of Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus Infection in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eyes are essential sensory organs needed by teleost Atlantic salmon for high visual acuity and survival in both the wild and in aquaculture settings. In this work, we assessed the ocular manifestations of Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus (ISAV) infection in Atlantic salmon by a cohabitation‐mediated infection assay and histological and ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Isolation and Characterization of CrossLinked Peptides from Elastin

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1974
Abstract Two peptides containing the desmosine cross-link were isolated and purified from a subtilisin digest of oxalic acidsolubilized elastin. Molecular weights averaged approximately 6000. Automated sequence data suggest that the desmosines cross-link two polypeptide chains and that both desmosine and isodesmosine are present in the same primary ...

Design and Immunogenicity of a Nanoparticle Combination Vaccine for Salmonella in Poultry

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salmonella enterica serovars (Salmonella) are common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis (salmonellosis) often associated with the consumption of poultry products. The control of Salmonella in broiler chickens is difficult because colonized birds may carry this pathogen undetected into the slaughterhouse and cause meat contamination.

Ideal soft tissue graft in periodontal and peri‐implant applications: A scoping review

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft tissue grafts (STG) are used in a wide range of clinical situations including volume augmentation, keratinized tissue increase, and recession coverage around teeth and implants. Each STG, produced from different sources and processed with various techniques, possesses unique material properties and interaction with the host tissues, which
