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.

Studies on the sperm reservoir of the pig oviduct [PDF]

, 2003
During sperm transport in the female pig a proportion of spermatozoa are arrested, often for 24 h or more, in a particular segment of the utero-tubal junction (UTJ) and the adjacent tubal isthmus, where a sperm reservoir (SR) is built up.

Expression of Hyaluronan Synthase and Collagen Type I mRNA by Hyaluronan Tetrasaccharides in Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts [PDF]

, 2013
The major compounds in the dermis are hyaluronan and type I collagen, which decrease with aging, UV and various other factors. The loss of hyaluronan and collagen with aging is associated with increased dehydration and wrinkling of the skin.

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.

Understanding and addressing resistance to IMiDs immunomodulatory compounds in multiple myeloma

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
IMiDs are pivotal in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Mechanisms of resistance comprise cell intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, involving tumour microenvironment, immune cell dysfunction, CRBN‐dependent and independent genetic drivers and epigenetic changes.

A review of skin microbiome and new challenges to cosmetic microbiome‐friendly formulations

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome‐friendly concepts offer new perspectives for a healthy relationship between cosmetic use and the skin microbiome, especially the interaction of non‐biotic cosmetic ingredients with the skin, requiring further studies to clarify the dynamics between the skin microbiome and different classes of cosmetic ingredients.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Move and Interact More with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells and Stimulate Their Proliferation in a Hyaluronan-Dependent Manner

Cells
While normal fibroblasts suppress tumor growth, during cancer initiation and progression, this capacity can be lost and even switched to tumor-promoting, for reasons that are not understood.

Protective effects of extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles derived from Cannabis sativa adventitious roots against UVB‐induced damage in human keratinocytes

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Cannabis sativa root‐derived extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles (CA‐NPs) were isolated from adventitious root cultures and subjected to physicochemical characterization. Upon UVB exposure, keratinocytes exhibited increased ROS generation, apoptosis and MAPK activation, leading to oxidative stress and skin damage.

Shear stress increases endothelial hyaluronan synthase 2 and hyaluronan synthesis especially in regard to an atheroprotective flow profile

, 2011
Recent studies revealed that in vivo the inner blood vessel surface is lined with an endothelial surface layer at least 0.5 mu m thick, which serves as an aegis, protecting the vessel wall from arteriosclerosis.
