Physicochemical characterization of etch‐and‐rinse adhesive system doped with catechin‐loaded polymeric microparticles

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the incorporation of epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG)‐loaded poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) (PLGA) microparticles into a two‐step etch‐and‐rinse adhesive and their effects on physicochemical properties and EGCG release. EGCG was added to Single Bond 2 either directly (0.01% and 0.1% w/w) or encapsulated in PLGA 50:50 or 75:25

Genetic interaction mapping reveals functional relationships between peptidoglycan endopeptidases and carboxypeptidases.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics
Peptidoglycan (PG) is the main component of the bacterial cell wall; it maintains cell shape while protecting the cell from internal osmotic pressure and external environmental challenges.

Biologic activity in a fragment of recombinant human interferon α [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
To attempt to locate functionally important regions of the interferon (IFN) molecule, recombinant human IFN-α2 was subjected to proteolytic digestion. The bacterial proteinase thermolysin produced two major complementary fragments, HuIFN-α2-(1-110) and ...

Diagnosis and management of equine metabolic syndrome

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder that increases the risk of hyperinsulinaemia‐associated laminitis (HAL), the most common and clinically significant form of laminitis. The central pathological feature of EMS is insulin dysregulation (ID), which encompasses basal or postprandial hyperinsulinaemia and tissue ...

Influence of the activation status and of ATP on phosphoribulokinase degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The light-regulated choroplast enzyme phosphoribulokinase (EC 2.7.1. 19) exists in two forms. In darkness this enzyme is present in an oxidized form, which is inactive. It is activated in the light by a thioredoxin-mediated reduction.

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...
