Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

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

A noncanonical role for Jagged1 in endothelial mechanotransduction

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study reveals a noncanonical role for Jagged1 in endothelial mechanotransduction. Shear stress modulates Jagged1 expression and subcellular localization. Loss of Jagged1 attenuates mechanotransduction and reduces Src, VEGFR2, and ERK signaling. Direct mechanical stimulation of Jagged1 induces activation of these signaling pathways.

Beyond the chaos: How architecture structures tumour biology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Tissue architecture shapes tumour initiation and progression through multiple interconnected layers continuously remodelled over time. This review outlines how physical forces, biochemical cues, cellular niches and systemic influences contribute to tumour evolution.

Low‐Load Quadriceps Strengthening With Blood Flow Restriction in Adults With Haemophilic Knee Arthropathy: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Haemophilic knee arthropathy leads to a reduction in muscle mass and strength. Blood flow restriction (BFR) involves the application of a compressive cuff that enables strength training with reduced loads. Objective To evaluate safety as the primary outcome and the efficacy (muscle strength and activation, functional capacity and ...
