Digestion of proteoglycans in porcine pancreatic elastase-induced emphysema in rats.
Pulmonary emphysema was induced in rats by a single intratracheal instillation of pancreatic elastase. The short-term effects of elastase instillation on basement membrane components were evaluated using immunohistochemical and biochemical methods.

A major complication of organ transplantation is primary graft dysfunction, which represents the leading cause of early post‐transplantation morbidity and mortality. Pre‐operative depletion of neutrophil serine proteases in circulating neutrophils by pretreatment with a cathepsin C inhibitor in recipients could prevent early post‐operative ...

Pancreatic Elastase 1 in Feces of Preterm and Term Infants
Background Determination of fecal pancreatic elastase 1 (E1) is a reliable and noninvasive test of exocrine pancreatic function. Adult reference values of greater than 200 &mgr;g E1/g feces do not seem to be applicable to early infancy because of ...

Gasdermins: multifunctional effectors of membrane permeabilization across cellular compartments
Gasdermins (GSDMs) are pore‐forming proteins best known for driving pyroptosis through plasma membrane (PM) permeabilization. Beyond triggering inflammatory cell death, GSDMs can also associate with organelle membranes, including mitochondria, lysosomes, ER, and nucleus, where they modulate membrane integrity and cellular signaling.

Pathophysiology of acute experimental pancreatitis: Lessons from genetically engineered animal models and new molecular approaches [PDF]
The incidence of acute pancreatitis is growing and worldwide population-based studies report a doubling or tripling since the 1970s. 25% of acute pancreatitis are severe and associated with histological changes of necrotizing pancreatitis. There is still
