Cross talk among TGF-β signaling pathways, integrins, and the extracellular matrix.
The growth factor TGF-β is secreted in a latent complex consisting of three proteins: TGF-β, an inhibitor (latency-associated protein, LAP, which is derived from the TGF-β propeptide) and an ECM-binding protein (one of the latent TGF-β binding proteins ...

The role of calcium in the organization of fibrillin microfibrils
The microfibrillar glycoprotein fibrillin has a multidomain structure which contains forty‐three epidermal growth factor‐like motifs with calciumbinding consensus sequences. We have utilized intact microfibrils isolated from human dermal fibroblast cultures to investigate the putative influence of bound calcium on microfibrillar organization and ...

The developmental roles of the extracellular matrix: Beyond structure to regulation [PDF]
Cells in multicellular organisms are surrounded by a complex three-dimensional macromolecular extracellular matrix (ECM). This matrix, traditionally thought to serve a structural function providing support and strength to cells within tissues, is ...

ABSTRACT Background According to morphological and clinical differences, atrophic (AP) and hypertrophic (HP) skin photoaging types have been reported. The current study examines the correlation between optical coherence tomography (OCT) and dynamic‐OCT (D‐OCT) features in subjects with skin photoaging types classified as AP, HP, or controls ...

Studies on TGF-β family signalling in the diseased lung tissue [PDF]
This thesis focuses on transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signalling system in the human lung. Two lung parenchymal diseases, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), were studied.
