Targeting Tumor Stroma: Current Challenges and Future Directions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Figure 1. Mechanism of ECM reprogramming. Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs), cancer‐associated macrophages (CAMs), and other mesenchymal cells alter the ECM composition and increase its stiffness by depositing matrix components such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, and secreting cross‐linking agents like lysyl oxidase homolog 2 (LOXL2).

Increasing Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Burden in 90‐Day Groin Surgical Site Infection After Femoral Arterial Exposure: A 15‐Year Single‐Centre Cohort Study

International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Groin surgical site infection remains common after femoral arterial exposure (clean wound class I), yet long‐term data on temporal trends and microbiological shifts are limited. This retrospective study reviewed all consecutive groin incisions for femoral arterial exposure at a tertiary vascular centre (2010–2024); only groin‐site infections ...

Slime layer formation and the prevalence of mecA and aap genes in Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2010
Introduction: Staphylococcus epidermidis strains are frequently associated with catheter-related infection, acute bacteremia, and hospital-acquired infection. Some isolates produce an extracellular matrix called slime that may make them more resistant to antibiotics.

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Colonization among Healthcare Workers at Kampala International University Teaching Hospital, Southwestern Uganda

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2019
Whereas Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen, it colonizes healthy people as normal flora without causing any symptoms or illness. Probably because of greater exposure, healthcare workers (HCWs) are more colonized, serving as reservoir for endogenous ...
