Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Addition of bone morphogenetic protein type 2 to ascorbate and β-glycerophosphate supplementation did not enhance osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2012
Bone morphogenetic protein type 2 (BMP-2) is a potent local factor, which promotes bone formation and has been used as an osteogenic supplement for mesenchymal stem cells.

Investigator‐Led Research to Improve the Diagnostic Assessment of Platelet Function Disorders: Reflections on the Challenges and Rewards

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Investigator‐led research and quality improvement initiatives have led to important improvements in the diagnostic assessment of platelet function disorders (PFD). Methods Personal reflections were used to summarize our contributions to knowledge on PFD diagnostic assessment, pathogenesis, and bleeding risks.

SPARC/Osteonectin Functions to Maintain Homeostasis of the Collagenous Extracellular Matrix in the Periodontal Ligament

, 2010
Expression of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC)/osteonectin, a collagen-binding matricellular protein, is frequently associated with tissues with high rates of collagen turnover, such as bone.

Protein and Peptide Inhibitors of Mineralization: A Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
In vitro evidence from crystallization assays demonstrates that peptides inhibit mineral nucleation and crystal growth through sequence‐dependent interactions (acidic residues and phosphorylation) with mineral surfaces. In cell cultures, these molecules reduce calcium deposition and ALP activity and modulate the expression of biomineralization‐related ...

Characterization of human osteoblast and megakaryocyte-derived osteonectin (SPARC) [PDF]

Blood, 1992
Osteonectin is an adhesive, cell, and extracellular matrix-binding glycoprotein found primarily in the matrix of bone and in blood platelets in vivo. Osteonectins isolated from these two sources differ with respect to the complexity of their constituent N-linked oligosaccharide. In this study, osteonectin synthesized by bone-forming cells (osteoblasts)

Molecular Basis and Clinical Spectrum of WNT10A‐Related Oligodontia

Clinical Genetics, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 3-14, July 2026.
Cellular Mechanism behind WNT10A phenotypes. ABSTRACT WNT10A mutations, a major genetic determinant of dental agenesis and ectodermal dysplasia, exert profound effects on craniofacial development. Although classified as rare disorders, these mutations account for more than half of oligodontia cases, reflecting their critical role.
