The metalloproteinase ADAM17 promotes acute lung inflammatory responses during pancreatitis
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a multifactorial upper gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder that in severe cases (~20% of all AP) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, the latter coincident with multiorgan dysfunction, particularly acute lung injury (ALI).

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

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.
