Behind the scenes: how the EMILIN/Multimerin family shapes the cancer landscape

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The EMILIN/Multimerin family members regulate key hallmarks of cancer—including apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor microenvironment remodeling. As indicated, their function in immune evasion, drug resistance, and metabolic reprogramming remains largely unexplored.

Anti-tumor therapy with macroencapsulated endostatin producer cells

BMC Biotechnology, 2010
Background Theracyte is a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane macroencapsulation system designed to induce neovascularization at the tissue interface, protecting the cells from host's immune rejection, thereby circumventing the problem of limited half-life ...

Role of tumour necrosis factor gene polymorphisms (-308 and -238) in breast cancer susceptibility and severity [PDF]

, 2004
Introduction Genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) gene can regulate gene expression and have been associated with inflammatory and malignant conditions. We have investigated two polymorphisms in the promoter

Targeting the microbiota‐miRNA‐protease axis: A new therapeutic avenue in melanoma

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Modulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is central to melanoma progression and metastasis, driven largely by ECM proteases. This review highlights the epigenetic regulation of ECM proteases by microRNAs and their roles in melanoma growth, invasion, and immune modulation.

Proteoglycan neofunctions: regulation of inflammation and autophagy in cancer biology. [PDF]

, 2017
Inflammation and autophagy have emerged as prominent issues in the context of proteoglycan signaling. In particular, two small, leucine-rich proteoglycans, biglycan and decorin, play pivotal roles in the regulation of these vital cellular pathways and ...

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Can endocan serve as a molecular “hepatostat” in liver regeneration?

Molecular Medicine, 2023
Background Intriguingly, liver regeneration after injury does not induce uncontrolled growth and the underlying mechanisms of such a “hepatostat” are still not clear. Endocan, a proteoglycan, was implicated in liver regeneration.

Tumor angiogenic switch determines sustained proliferative malignant transformation in tumorigenesis and overlaps with para-inflammatory phenomena [PDF]

, 2015
Contextual BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase over-activity determines in formulated fashion the emergence of proliferation and anti-apoptosis that arise largely as derived phenomena of otherwise homeostatic mechanisms of the c-ABL gene within hematopoietic ...

Needling Therapy for Burn Injury and Related Complications: A Scoping Review of Experimental and Clinical Studies

International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Needling therapy may be a novel alternative therapeutic intervention for burn injuries and related complications. This scoping review aimed to comprehensively evaluate the evidence status of needling therapy for burns and their complications. Studies on needling therapy for burns and related complications were retrieved from inception to 1st ...

Endostatin and anastellin inhibit distinct aspects of the angiogenic process

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2008
Background Endostatin and anastellin, fragments of collagen type XVIII and fibronectin, respectively, belong to a family of endogenous inhibitors of angiogenesis which inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in a number of mouse models of human cancer.
