Cancer Risk in Marfan Syndrome: A Swedish Population‐Based Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
The cancer risk in Marfan syndrome, an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder, largely remains to be explored. In this population‐based matched cohort study of 1544 Swedish patients, the overall cancer risk in adults with Marfan syndrome showed no significant increase, except for the risk of endocrine tumours with a nearly threefold increase ...

Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography co-purifies TGF-β1 with histidine-tagged recombinant extracellular proteins.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Extracellular recombinant proteins are commonly produced using HEK293 cells as histidine-tagged proteins facilitating purification by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC).

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

Schematic of recombinant fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 domain swap fragments and their heparin binding properties.

, 2012
(A) Domain structures of fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 are shown, with a key of the different domains, N-glycosylation sites, and the C-terminal furin cleavage site. Fibrillin-1 contains a proline-rich region and fibrillin-2 contains a glycine-rich region.

P10.05 REDUCED MOLECULAR FLEXIBILITY IN THE LARGE ARTERIES OF DIABETIC RATS

Artery Research, 2009
In Type 1 and 2 diabetes tissue stiffening is evident from measurements of the gross mechanical properties of the vasculature. In general, pathological glycosylation of extracellular matrix proteins may play an important role in increasing stiffness in ...

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.

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.
