Matrix Metallopeptidase 9 Expression in Tumoral and Marginal Tissues of Cholesteatoma [PDF]

open access: yesImmunoAnalysis
Background: Cholesteatoma, a serious, expanding otolaryngologic condition, is challenging to otolaryngologists worldwide. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the expression of MMP-9 gene in cholesteatoma patients.

Interaction of HS1BP3 with cortactin modulates TKS5 localisation, cell secretion and cancer malignancy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Here, we demonstrate that HS1BP3 interacts with Cortactin through a proline‐rich region (PRR3.1) and show that this interaction, and HS1BP3 itself, promote cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Inhibition of this interaction leads to build‐up of TKS5 in multivesicular endosomes and altered secretion of CD63 and CD9, providing an explanation for the ...

Skeletal muscle cell hypertrophy induced by inhibitors of metalloproteases; myostatin as a potential mediator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Cell growth and differentiation are controlled in many tissues by paracrine factors, which often require proteolytic processing for activation. Metalloproteases of the metzincin family, such as matrix metalloproteases and ADAMs, recently have been shown ...

Facet joint degeneration in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

open access: yesJOR Spine, 2018
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a poorly understood deformity of the thoracolumbar spine which affects the intervertebral discs (IVDs) and the articular facet joints.

The Bushmaster (Cuaima) snake (Lachesis muta muta) of the Neotropical forest: the description of several haemostatic and biological activities in its venom

open access: yesRevista Científica, 2021
Cuaima (Lachesis muta muta)(Lmm) is responsible for particular envenomations that occur mainly in people who are exploring forest areas, in logging activities, mining exploitation (mainly gold and diamonds) or indigenous people who live in small ...

Tuning Mechanoreceptor Signaling Enhances the Adjuvant Effect of Biomaterial Vaccines

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Matrix stiffness serves as an independent immunological signal in biomaterial vaccines. Stiffer microporous hydrogel vaccines enhance dendritic cell maturation and migration to draining lymph nodes, promote T follicular helper cell expansion through Yap/Taz signaling, and increase antigen‐specific antibody production.

Molecular analysis of astacin-like metalloproteases of Ostertagia ostertagi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this study, we describe the Molecular analysis of zinc-metalloproteases from the abomasal nematode Ostertagia ostertagi which were exclusively recognized by local antibodies of immune cattle. Full-length or partial coding sequences of 4 different zinc-

Exploring the Potential Role of ADAM 17 and ADAM 22 in the Etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encompasses a group of disorders characterized by difficulties with social interaction and repetitive behavior. The condition is supposed to originate from early shifts in brain development, while the underlying

Flash Assembloids: A Rapid Biofabrication of a Platform for Modeling Early Glioblastoma Invasion at the Glioblastoma–Brain Organoid Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bioengineered assembloid (ASM) system combining glioblastoma (GBM) cells in oxidized alginate (OA) microgels with dorsal organoids (DOs). This model simulates brain tumor‐host interactions, revealing enhanced GBM invasion, altered gene expression, and aggressive infiltration patterns, demonstrating ASM as a valuable platform for ...

Metalloproteases of the Inner Mitochondrial Membrane [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemistry, 2017
The inner mitochondrial membrane (IM) is among the most protein-rich cellular compartments. The metastable IM subproteome where the concentration of proteins is approaching oversaturation creates a challenging protein folding environment with a high probability of protein malfunction or aggregation.
