An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Fibroblast EXT1-levels influence tumor cell proliferation and migration in composite spheroids.

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundStromal fibroblasts are important determinants of tumor cell behavior. They act to condition the tumor microenvironment, influence tumor growth, support tumor angiogenesis and affect tumor metastasis. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans, present both

Isolation, characterization, and substrate properties of the external limiting membrane from the avian embryonic optic tectum [PDF]

, 1990
The external limiting membrane of the avian embryonic optic tectum is isolated by mechanically separating the neuronal mesencephalon from the overlying mesenchymal tissue.

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Heparan sulfate: Antithrombotic or not? [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2003
With their studies in 3-OST-1 knockout mice, HajMohammadi and colleagues (15) have advanced our understanding of the pathways that regulate thrombin. Antithrombin is critical for thrombin regulation because even partial deficiency is associated with thrombosis.

Endorepellin remodels the endothelial transcriptome toward a pro-autophagic and pro-mitophagic gene signature. [PDF]

, 2018
Regulation of autophagy by proteolytically cleaved fragments of heparan sulfate proteoglycans is a novel and current research focus in tumor biology. Endorepellin is the C-terminal angiostatic fragment of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan and ...

Genetic Parameters and Genome‐Wide Association Studies for Fertility and Reproduction Traits in U.S. Katahdin Sheep Based on the Single‐Step GBLUP Methodology

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheep production contributes to a secure and diverse food and fibre supply in the United States, with growing ethnic diversity strengthening demand. Katahdin is a composite hair‐type sheep breed developed in the United States that has become the most popular breed in many regions of the country and the first one to have genomic selection ...

Harnessing the Therapeutic Potential of Cell Secretomes and Extracellular Vesicles for Craniofacial Regenerative Applications

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The scoping review summarizes the current preclinical and clinical evidence for the use of “cell‐free” therapies in craniofacial (periodontal, bone and soft‐tissue) regeneration. It also aims to highlight key challenges and strategies towards the clinical translation of these therapies.
