Matrix metalloproteinase 7 in diagnosis and differentiation of pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, 2019
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a severe disease for which diagnosis often is delayed. Matrix metalloproteinases have been suggested to play a role in vascular remodeling and pulmonary hypertension development. Our aim was therefore to investigate the

Matrix metalloproteinases in tuberculosis [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2011
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health pandemic. Infection is spread by the aerosol route andMycobacterium tuberculosismust drive lung destruction to be transmitted to new hosts. Such inflammatory tissue damage is responsible for morbidity and mortality in patients.

Matrix metalloproteinases and atherosclerosis

Postępy Higieny i Medycyny Doświadczalnej, 2011
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix (ECM), seem to have an important role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Released by inflammatory cells and smooth muscle cells, MMPs regulate the vascular remodeling process.

A Long‐Lived Human Neurovascular PENTA Culture Model Captures Incomplete Vascular Repair and Glia‐Associated Signaling After Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A long‐lived, five‐cell‐type human neurovascular (PENTA) model recreates vascular disorganization and incomplete repair after traumatic brain injury (TBI). By integrating endothelial, glial, neuronal, and immune components within a 3D scaffold, the platform enables time‐resolved analysis of neurovascular remodeling and provides a human‐relevant system ...
