Placental malperfusion and angiogenesis‐related proteins are associated with small‐for‐gestational‐age in systemic lupus erythematosus

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pregnancy frequently results in small for gestational age (SGA) infants, the understanding of underlying mechanisms is limited. We aimed to identify specific histological patterns of placental injury in SGA in SLE and to explore whether an altered balance of angiogenesis‐related proteins ...

Biomarkers Correlating With the Development of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma From Leukoplakia

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We assessed protein biomarkers expressed in oral leukoplakia (OL) that are associated with the risk of transformation into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods Tissue sections of OL transforming into OSCC (leuko‐ca), the corresponding OSCC and OL that did not progress to OSCC (leuko‐nonca) were analyzed with global relative ...

Targeting Integrins in Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Therapeutic Potential of Monoclonal Antibodies, PARP Inhibitors, Synthetic Peptides, and Aptamers

open access: yesCancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Triple‐negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are associated with poor prognosis and chemoresistance. Recent reports indicate that extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, such as integrins, could influence TNBC development. Integrins are adhesion macromolecules that modulate ECM characteristics such as stiffening of ECM and being associated with ...

Cathepsin L in cancer: Context‐dependent functions, microenvironmental regulation and translational opportunities

open access: yesClinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
Cathepsin L (CTSL) acts as a context‐dependent facilitator of tumour progression rather than a universal oncogenic driver. CTSL's pro‐tumorigenic functions are critically evaluated alongside its inherent biochemical constraints and family‐wide redundancy. CTSL‐related biology may provide translational opportunities in selected contexts.

Small Proteoglycans, Big Impact: Decorin, Biglycan, and Asporin in Musculoskeletal Tissue Health and Disease

open access: yesProteoglycan Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic and information‐rich network that integrates structural support with biochemical and mechanical signaling. Among its key regulatory components are the Small Leucine‐Rich Proteoglycans (SLRPs), a family of matrix molecules that coordinate extracellular architecture with cell signaling.

Mechanistic Pathways of Wound Healing: From Hemostasis to Scar‐Free Regeneration

open access: yesCell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Wound healing is the critical process regulated through a harmonious coordination of cellular, molecular, pathological, and systemic communications. Normally, healing occurs in four overlapping phases, which are modified and controlled by various growth factor interactions and signaling pathways.

Extracellular matrix in inflammatory bowel diseases

open access: yes, 2018
Die extrazelluläre Matrix (ECM) ist eine dreidimensionale Matrix, die die Zellen umgibt und für die Strukturbildung der Gewebe grundlegend ist. Sie besteht aus Proteoglykanen und Faserproteinen, aber auch aus den in ihr befindlichen Zytokinen, Chemokinen,

Circulating Serum AGRN and ADAMTS8 With Related Candidates as Potential Biomarkers for Carotid Plaque Presence and Vulnerability

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study investigated serum AGRN and ADAMTS8 as biomarkers for carotid plaques within human participants. Results showed a significant correlation with plaque presence, yielding a moderate combined diagnostic performance. However, these markers poorly differentiated plaque vulnerability.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans: Master Regulators of Cellular Signaling, Tissue Development, and Neural Function

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 104, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ubiquitous cell‐associated, cytoplasmic, synaptic and extracellular matrix HS‐proteoglycans are multifunctional regulators of tissue form and function. HS‐proteoglycans have diverse functions as growth factor co‐receptors in cell proliferation, differentiation, tissue development, mechanical stabilization, synaptogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and ...
