Cationic Peptoids for Systemic In Vivo Cartilage‐Targeting

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Systemically‐dosed Cy5‐labeled cationic peptoid probe (NlysO)7 (yellow) binds to the cartilage's glycosaminoglycan content in vivo across the entire body of a neonatal mouse imaged by light sheet fluorescence microscopy, revealing fluorescence uptake in generic cartilage as well as the developing and ossifying bones.

The half-life of the bone-derived hormone osteocalcin is regulated through O-glycosylation in mice, but not in humans

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Osteocalcin (OCN) is an osteoblast-derived hormone with pleiotropic physiological functions. Like many peptide hormones, OCN is subjected to post-translational modifications (PTMs) which control its activity.

A novel mechanism controlling the growth of hemostatic thrombi [PDF]

open access: yesThe Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2013
Current knowledge of the mechanisms of blood coagulation does not provide an answer to one pivotal question: why is, in contrast to a pathological thrombus, the growth of normal hemostatic clot after blood vessel injury suddenly terminated?

Cyclo19,31[D-Cys19]-uPA19-31 is a potent competitive antagonist of the interaction of urokinase-type plasminogen activator with its receptor (CD87) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) represents a central molecule in pericellular proteolysis and is implicated in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes such as tissue remodelling, wound healing, tumor invasion, and ...

Tendinopathy: The Interplay between Mechanical Stress, Inflammation, and Vascularity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores the complex and self‐reinforcing cycle of mechanical stress, inflammation, and altered vascularity in tendinopathy—a common, painful tendon disorder. It integrates current findings on cellular, molecular, and biomechanical mechanisms, highlighting how mechanical overload, inflammatory signals, and abnormal blood vessel behavior ...

The Evolution of Functional Amyloids and Their Impact on Host–Microbe Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review describes functional amyloids and highlights the importance of structural repetition and molecular mimicry that distinguish the amyloid fold. The authors describe how amyloid can be the last universal common ancestor of protein folds. The authors also discuss how microbes utilize functional amyloids and how the structural characteristics of

Is urinary excretion of plasminogen associated with development of pre-eclampsia? An observational, explorative case–control study

open access: yesBMJ Open, 2019
ObjectivesPre-eclampsia (PE) is characterised by renal glomerular endotheliosis and injury to the glomerular filtration barrier with proteinuria. Patients with PE display aberrant filtration of the plasma proenzyme plasminogen which is activated, in the ...

Tau Amyloid Corona‐Shelled Nanoparticle‐Based Drug Screening Platform for Discovering Tau Oligomer‐Degrading Drugs

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
Tau amyloid corona‐shelled nanoparticles (TACONs) were synthesized by incubating gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with tau monomers that had been pre‐reacted with heparin. These TACONs represent a promising high‐throughput screening platform for identifying tau oligomer degraders as potential therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease.
