Exploring the histopathological signature of repeat‐mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine the histological differences between Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cases with and without the most common genetic risk factor, expansion of a CTG repeat (CTG18.1) within the TCF4 gene. Methods Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded corneal tissues were compared retrospectively, and CTG18.1 status was determined from

Physicochemical characterization of etch‐and‐rinse adhesive system doped with catechin‐loaded polymeric microparticles

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the incorporation of epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG)‐loaded poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) (PLGA) microparticles into a two‐step etch‐and‐rinse adhesive and their effects on physicochemical properties and EGCG release. EGCG was added to Single Bond 2 either directly (0.01% and 0.1% w/w) or encapsulated in PLGA 50:50 or 75:25

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.

Comparative analysis of metabolic and functional cardiac alterations in diet‐ and genetically induced mouse models of cardiac dysfunction

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Dietary and genetic stress trigger different routes to heart failure. In mice, a carbohydrate‐free high‐fat diet caused mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired energy production with preserved pumping function, while genetic obesity led to heart enlargement, fibrosis, and reduced function.

Interactions between small leucine‐rich proteoglycans and proteases: implications for tissue homeostasis and pathology

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
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 ...

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.

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

Membrane‐type I metalloproteinase (MT1‐MMP): A key modifier of extracellular matrix microenvironment

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MT1‐MMP: A cellular microenvironment modifier. MT1‐MMP is a major cellular microenvironment modifier, maintaining collagen homeostasis by degrading excess collagen (A), creating a migration path in motile cells such as cancer cells (B), modulating local microenvironmental signaling by cleaving transmembrane receptors (C), and destroying tissue ...
