Collagens and proteoglycans of the corneal extracellular matrix

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003
The cornea is a curved and transparent structure that provides the initial focusing of a light image into the eye. It consists of a central stroma that constitutes 90% of the corneal depth, covered anteriorly with epithelium and posteriorly with ...

The nitty‐gritty of vascular permeability in cancer: targeting blood endothelium to control metastases

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
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 ...

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.

Heterogeneity of heparan sulfate proteoglycans synthesized by PYS-2 cells

, 1984
Antibodies to the basement membrane proteoglycan produced by the EHS tumor were used to immunoprecipitate [35S]sulfate-labeled protoglycans produced by PYS-2 cells.

Functional Requirements for Heparan Sulfate Biosynthesis in Morphogenesis and Nervous System Development in C. elegans.

PLoS Genetics, 2017
The regulation of cell migration is essential to animal development and physiology. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans shape the interactions of morphogens and guidance cues with their respective receptors to elicit appropriate cellular responses.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Infection

, 2011
To cause infections, microbial pathogens elaborate a multitude of factors that interact with host components. Using these host–pathogen interactions to their advantage, pathogens attach, invade, disseminate, and evade host defense mechanisms to promote their survival in the hostile host environment.

Biomarkers Correlating With the Development of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma From Leukoplakia

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We assessed protein biomarkers expressed in oral leukoplakia (OL) that are associated with the risk of transformation into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods Tissue sections of OL transforming into OSCC (leuko‐ca), the corresponding OSCC and OL that did not progress to OSCC (leuko‐nonca) were analyzed with global relative ...

Ovarian hormone loss modifies the nucleic acid cargo of circulating extracellular vesicles and skeletal muscle metabolism after acute exercise in rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Loss of ovarian hormones (i.e., menopause) leads to negative effects on metabolic health. While exercise offers significant benefits, it seems to be insufficient to completely reverse these changes. The mechanisms by which exercise conveys the effects throughout the body are still poorly understood.

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Matrix expansion and syncytial aggregation of syndecan-1+ cells underpin villous atrophy in coeliac disease [PDF]

, 2014
Background: We studied the expression of sulphated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in coeliac disease (CD) mucosa, as they are critical determinants of tissue volume, which increases in active disease.
