TNF‐α partially modulates the endothelial dysfunction during the acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Whereas the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection are well‐characterised in the heart, its impact on the vasculature has received little attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute and chronic T. cruzi infection on vascular responsiveness and the underlying mechanisms.

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

The 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

Sacubitril/Valsartan Attenuates Inflammation and Fibrosis Associated With Decreased Integrin α8 and Inhibits Hepatocarcinogenesis in a Rat Model of Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatohepatitis

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Sacubitril/Valsartan (Sac/Val) alleviates fibrosis and inflammation in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Its anti‐fibrotic effect is linked to the suppression of Integrin alpha 8 (Itga8), a protein crucial for hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and collagen production.

Impact of Early‐Line Systemic Therapies on Liver Function in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Longitudinal Change of ALBI Score and Ammonia Level With and Without Anti‐VEGF Agents

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents are widely used for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); inhibition of VEGF‐mediated liver regeneration may compromise hepatic reserve. We investigated the impact of anti‐VEGF therapy on liver function and risk factors for deterioration of albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) score during
