Molecular mechanisms of fission in echinoderms: Transcriptome analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Echinoderms are capable of asexual reproduction by fission. An individual divides into parts due to changes in the strength of connective tissue of the body wall.

A C-type lectin from Bothrops jararacussu venom can adhere to extracellular matrix proteins and induce the rolling of leukocytes

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2007
Purification of a lectin from Bothrops jararacussu venom (BjcuL) was carried out using agarose-D-galactose affinity gel. MALDI-TOF gave a major signal at m/z 32028, suggesting the presence of a dimmer composed of two identical subunits.

Inside Out Integrin Activation Mediated by PIEZO1 Signaling in Erythroblasts

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The non-selective mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 controls erythrocyte volume homeostasis. Different missense gain-of-function mutations in PIEZO1 gene have been identified that cause Hereditary Xerocytosis (HX), a rare autosomal dominant haemolytic ...

Pathways of mechanical unfolding of FnIII_{10}: low force intermediates [PDF]

J. Chem. Phys. 133, 065101 (2010), 2010
We study the mechanical unfolding pathways of the $FnIII_{10}$ domain of fibronectin by means of an Ising--like model, using both constant force and constant velocity protocols. At high forces and high velocities our results are consistent with experiments and previous computational studies.

Pathophysiology of matrix metalloproteinases in breast cancer progression

Journal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2019
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are secretary or membrane type proteolytic enzymes that act on extracellular matrix protein components such as collagens, gelatins, elastins, laminins, fibronectins, and integrins. MMPs are synthesized as zymogens and are
