Plasma‐Polymerized Nanoparticles Presenting Fibrillin‐1 Drive Rapid Re‐Endothelialization of Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 9, 6 March 2026.
Commercial vascular grafts are made from ePTFE, a highly hydrophobic, foreign material that fails at a high rate in small‐diameter applications. Plasma polymer nanoparticles (PPN) are a versatile material functionalisation tool, used here to present fibrillin‐1 fragment PF8 on the graft surface.

Homotypic Fibrillin-1 Interactions in Microfibril Assembly [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
We have defined the homotypic interactions of fibrillin-1 to obtain new insights into microfibril assembly. Dose-dependent saturable high affinity binding was demonstrated between N-terminal fragments, between furin processed C-terminal fragments, and between these N- and C-terminal fragments.

IL‐4/STAT6‐signaling Influences Local Inflammation and Regeneration Processes During Acute Pancreatitis and Promotes Fibrosis by a Direct Activation of Pancreatic Fibroblasts During Chronic Pancreatitis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
IL‐4/IL‐13/STAT6 signaling plays a crucial for the suppression of pro‐inflammation during acute pancreatitis and supports acinar cell regeneration but has only minor impact on fibrogenesis during chronic form of the disease. IL‐4/IL‐13 induce the expression of certain collagens directly in pancreatic fibroblasts via STAT6 activation, whereas ...

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 2, Page 107-127, March 2026.
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

Fibrillins in Adult Human Ovary and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Is Fibrillin-3 Affected in PCOS? [PDF]

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2010
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age. Although genetic linkage analyses have demonstrated a susceptibility locus for PCOS mapping to the fibrillin-3 gene, the presence of fibrillin proteins in normal and polycystic ovaries has not been characterized. This study compared and contrasted fibrillin-1, −2,

Dual Topical Therapy. The Future of Stretch Marks?

JEADV Clinical Practice, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 26-31, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Striae distensae, or stretch marks, are linear scars that result from mechanical stretching of dermal tissue. They are most prevalent in women and in pregnancy, puberty, and obesity. The psychological and cosmetic symptoms may present a pathological synergy with the physical distress that stretch marks represent, especially if the patient is ...

Alternative Splicing of Endothelial Fibronectin Is Induced by Disturbed Hemodynamics and Protects Against Hemorrhage of the Vessel Wall [PDF]

, 2014
Objective—Abnormally low-flow conditions, sensed by the arterial endothelium, promote aneurysm rupture. Fibronectin (FN) is among the most abundant extracellular matrix proteins and is strongly upregulated in human aneurysms, suggesting a possible role ...

Proteome‐Wide Analysis of Human Deletions

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 3, Page 853-870, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Protein deletions are frequent among both natural and pathogenic variations. Many of them are misclassified in variation databases and the literature. Nonsense‐mediated decay prevents the expression of many nucleotide deletions. Many variants classified as protein deletions are not expressed at all.
