Zeb2 Controls Retinal Physiological and Pathological Angiogenesis by Regulating Astrocyte Proliferation and Differentiation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During development, the oxygen‐sensitive transcription factor Zeb2 restrains astrocyte proliferation and maturation to ensure balanced retinal angiogenesis. In disease, it promotes the neurotoxic A1 astrocyte phenotype and inflammation, thereby promoting reparative revascularization over pathological neovascularization.

Abnormal Glycaemic Fluctuations Associated With Early Microvascular Changes in the Retina and Choroid of Nondiabetic Adults

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To evaluate the association between continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)‐derived glycaemic variability indicators and early microvascular changes of the retina and choroid in nondiabetic individuals. Materials and Methods Community‐based individuals at high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) underwent detailed assessments including oral ...

Limbal cystotomy by fine needle aspiration of a translucent iris cyst in a horse

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 4‐year‐old Cremello crossbred mare was referred to the Equine Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Utrecht University for a translucent iris cyst from the dorsal pupillary margin corpora nigra in the right eye. Although noninvasive diode laser treatment is the preferred method of pigmented cyst ablation, two attempts did not result in disruption ...

Twelve-Year Clinical Course of a Band-Shaped Remnant in the Anterior Chamber Following Trabeculotomy With the Trabectome. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
Slit‐lamp and gonioscopic findings 4 months after Trabectome surgery. A band‐shaped remnant was observed in the inferonasal quadrant of the left eye, with continuity to the trabecular meshwork on gonioscopy. ABSTRACT Band‐shaped remnants in the anterior chamber after trabeculotomy with the Trabectome may not be associated with long‐term clinical ...

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

The 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 ...

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The 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.
