Cross talk among TGF-β signaling pathways, integrins, and the extracellular matrix.

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2011
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

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1993
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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 ...

Correlating Optical Coherence Tomography and Other Noninvasive Imaging Features With Atrophic and Hypertrophic Skin Photoaging

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 1441-1445, August 2025.
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 ...

Giant Aortic Root Aneurysm in a Young Patient With Marfan Syndrome: A Clinical Image

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Marfan syndrome predisposes individuals to severe cardiovascular complications, including aortic root aneurysms, with a high rupture risk. Timely diagnosis through advanced imaging and surgical intervention, such as the Bentall procedure, is essential.

Studies on TGF-β family signalling in the diseased lung tissue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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.

Use of Liquid Nitrogen in Food Products: A Review

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 1617-1644, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for frozen products has led companies to offer a variety of foods that may struggle to maintain quality. Traditional freezing methods often negatively impact food quality, affecting texture, color, flavor, and so forth.

The Functional Network of the Arabidopsis Plastoglobule Proteome Based on Quantitative Proteomics and Genome-Wide Coexpression Analysis1[C][W][OA]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2012
Plastoglobules (PGs) in chloroplasts are thylakoid-associated monolayer lipoprotein particles containing prenyl and neutral lipids and several dozen proteins mostly with unknown functions. An integrated view of the role of the PG is lacking.

Prognostic Value of the TLM3 Biomarker Panel for Early Fibrosis Development in MASLD Within the General Population

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Fibrotic MASLD is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, often remaining asymptomatic until advanced stages of disease. Predicting fibrosis onset and progression would improve risk stratification and treatment allocation.
