ABSTRACT Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, autosomal dominant, life‐threatening disease characterized by recurrent attacks of swelling of the face, upper airway, gastrointestinal tract, limbs, and/or genitalia. Genetic mutations of the SERPING1 gene encoding the C1‐inhibitor (C1‐INH) plasma protein are associated with HAE‐C1INH.

A Spotlight on Yolk‐sac Tumors: Molecular Pathology, Current Diagnostics, and Novel Therapeutics
ABSTRACT Background Yolk‐sac tumors are an aggressive subtype of testicular cancer that significantly contribute to disease progression and therapy resistance, especially in adults. While testicular cancer generally has high cure rates with cisplatin‐based treatment, adult yolk‐sac tumors often appear as components of mixed tumors with poor response to

Genetic risk factors in Finnish patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
Abstract Purpose To study the genetic risk factors of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in the Finnish population using hospital‐based and large biobank cohorts. Methods We genotyped a cohort of 107 Finnish patients with FECD for the primary associated genetic risk factor, the TCF4 (CTG)>50 expansion, and studied their clinical phenotype.

Blood vascular permeability is a hallmark of cancer and acts as an active driver of metastatic dissemination. Metastasis accounts for the vast majority of cancer deaths, yet most work has focussed on tumour‐intrinsic traits and angiogenesis, while the specific contribution of endothelial barrier regulation to intravasation and extravasation remains ...

Molecular interplay between endostatin, integrins, and heparan sulfate
Endostatin is an endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis. Although several endothelial cell surface molecules have been reported to interact with endostatin, its molecular mechanism of action is not fully elucidated. We used surface plasmon resonance assays

Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

Sclerostin (SOST) is a multifunctional extracellular modulator of BMP and Wnt signaling. SOST binds with high affinity to fibrillin‐1 and fibrillin‐2, localizing it to fibrillin microfibrils and regulating its extracellular bioavailability. Fibrillin‐bound SOST cannot engage BMP‐7 prodomain (PD) complexes, revealing a competitive mechanism that ...

RNA and DNA viruses can manipulate host cell death through various mechanisms. RNA viruses (H1N1, SARS‐CoV‐2) induce acute apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis to promote rapid viral transmission and epithelial barrier damage. In contrast, DNA viruses (HSV‐1, EBV) regulate these mechanisms to sustain a lytic‐latency cycle, evade immune response and ...

S incorporation in heparan sulfate synthesized by human skin fibroblasts
Glycosaminoglycans synthesized by human skin fibroblasts were simultaneously radiolabelled with d-[1-3H]glucosamine and Na235SO4. Considering 3H incorporation, we found that IFNγ increased the production of glycosaminoglycan synthesis, including ...

This study reveals that changes in the electrical charge, that is zeta potential of large extracellular vesicles (uEVs) found in urine, can reflect disease progression from diabetes to kidney scarring (fibrosis). With further clinical development, measurement of uEVs charge could provide a simple, noninvasive way to monitor disease progression and help
