An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments
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 ...

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

A linear mixed model approach to gene expression-tumor aneuploidy association studies. [PDF]
Aneuploidy, defined as abnormal chromosome number or somatic DNA copy number, is a characteristic of many aggressive tumors and is thought to drive tumorigenesis.

A comprehensive evaluation of the activity and selectivity profile of ligands for RGD-binding integrins [PDF]
Integrins, a diverse class of heterodimeric cell surface receptors, are key regulators of cell structure and behaviour, affecting cell morphology, proliferation, survival and differentiation.

Understanding Neurodegenerative Diseases From the −Omics Perspective: Lessons Learnt
[Color figure can be viewed at www.annalsofneurology.org] As the population ages, certain neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are becoming a major health issue. For this reason, this review will focus on the most common ND with onset after 65 years old; Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.

Extracellular matrix protein composition dynamically changes during murine forelimb development
Summary: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an integral part of multicellular organisms, connecting different cell layers and tissue types. During morphogenesis and growth, tissues undergo substantial reorganization.

Quantitative proteomic characterization of lung tissue in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, eventually fatal disease. IPF is characterized by excessive accumulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the alveolar parenchyma and progressive lung scarring.

Differential regulation of extracellular matrix protein expression in carcinoma-associated fibroblasts by TGF-β1 regulates cancer cell spreading but not adhesion [PDF]
Cancer progression is characterized by a complex reciprocity between neoplastic epithelium and adjacent stromal cells. In ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, both reduced stromal decorin expression and myxoid stroma are correlated with ...

We developed three UC clusters, applicable for MIBC and NMIBC, which were validated using transcriptomic- and proteomic datasets. Publically available UC cell lines were assigned to the clusters, to have in vitro models representing each cluster. The clusters differ in molecular and biological signatures, with distinct prognostic and therapeutic ...

Transcriptional profiling of the ductus arteriosus: Comparison of rodent microarrays and human RNA sequencing [PDF]
DA closure is crucial for the transition from fetal to neonatal life. This closure is supported by changes to the DA’s signaling and structural properties that distinguish it from neighboring vessels.
