The Landscape of SPP1+ Macrophages Across Tissues and Diseases: A Comprehensive Review
SPP1+ macrophages represent a conserved, disease‐associated population present across cancerous and non‐cancerous conditions, involved in immunosuppression, fibrosis, lipid metabolism, phagocytosis, and other cellular processes. This review highlights their shared molecular programmes across tissues, their interactions with stromal and immune cells ...

Expression analysis of three isoforms of hyaluronan synthase and hyaluronidase in the synovium of knees in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
Hyaluronan is a major molecule in joint fluid and plays a crucial role in joint motion and the maintenance of joint homeostasis. The concentration and average molecular weight of hyaluronan in the joint fluids are reduced in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid

Extracellular Matrix Signaling Cues: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets
Targeting ECM dysregulation: therapeutic strategies for disease intervention. Dysregulated ECM composition and biomechanics contribute to disease pathogenesis in cancer and fibrotic disorders. Physical modulation: Nanomedicine‐based strategies tune ECM physical properties (e.g., density, stiffness) to enhance drug penetration and therapeutic efficacy ...

Hyaluronan (HA) is one of the crucial components of the extracellular matrix in vertebrates and is synthesized by three hyaluronan synthases (HASs), namely HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3. The low expression level of HASs in normal keratinocytes and other various types of cells presents a recognized challenge, impeding biological and pathological research on ...

Wound healing and hyper-hydration - a counter intuitive model [PDF]
Winters seminal work in the 1960s relating to providing an optimal level of moisture to aid wound healing (granulation and re-epithelialisation) has been the single most effective advance in wound care over many decades.
