Selectivity and specificity of sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor ligands: caveats and critical thinking in characterizing receptor-mediated effects

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2011
Receptors for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) have been identified only recently. Their medicinal chemistry is therefore still in its infancy, and few selective agonists or antagonists are available. Furthermore, the selectivity of S1P receptor agonists or

Biomarkers to predict outcomes in diabetic foot ulcers

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Studies attempting to predict the healing outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have investigated various biological materials and recovered molecules that may aid in discriminating wounds that will heal and those that will not heal. This graphical abstract captures the commonly studied classes of biomarkers in the context of DFUs.

Broadening the View: Substance P and Its Metabolism in Pruritus‐Related Diseases

open access: yesThe Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic pruritus is a debilitating symptom accompanying numerous inflammatory skin diseases and remains a major therapeutic challenge. Neurogenic inflammation plays a central role in its pathogenesis, with the tachykinin substance P acting as a key mediator at the interface of the nervous system, immune cells, and cutaneous tissues.

Emollient Formulations and Skin Barrier Practices in the Context of Eczema and Food Allergy Prevention

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The skin is far from a passive shield; it functions as a dynamic “living barrier” whose structural and immunological integrity is paramount in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) and the subsequent progression of the atopic march toward food allergy (FA).

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...

GIP in Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease: From Physiology to Pharmacology

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To provide a comprehensive overview of the cardiovascular and renal effects of glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) by integrating its physiological role with recent human trial data on tirzepatide, the first dual GIP and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonist.

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

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Preventive Effect of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists Against Proteinuria Induced by Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

open access: yesHepatology Research, EarlyView.
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists are known to reduce proteinuria in chronic kidney disease, but their effectiveness in preventing bevacizumab‐related proteinuria has not been well established. In the present multi‐institutional retrospective study, we found that these agents significantly delay the onset of moderate or higher grade proteinuria ...
