Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

Protease inhibitors prevent plasminogen-mediated, but not pemphigus vulgaris-induced, acantholysis in human epidermis [PDF]
Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It is caused by autoantibodies directed against desmosomes, which are the principal adhesion structures between epidermal keratinocytes.

Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Neutralizing the EGF receptor in glioblastoma cells stimulates cell migration by activating uPAR-initiated cell signaling. [PDF]
In glioblastoma (GBM), the EGF receptor (EGFR) and Src family kinases (SFKs) contribute to an aggressive phenotype. EGFR may be targeted therapeutically; however, resistance to EGFR-targeting drugs such as Erlotinib and Gefitinib develops quickly.

Endometrial Stromal Cell Senescence: A Non‐Negligible Factor in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
As populations age, links between female reproductive aging and infertility are increasingly evident. Cellular senescence, characterized by near‐irreversible cell‐cycle arrest and accumulation of damage, can impair tissue function. In the endometrium, aberrant senescence of endometrial stromal cells (EnSCs) may compromise receptivity, hinder embryo ...

Microbial metabolites in tumor epigenetic regulation
The gut microbiome modulates tumor epigenetic regulation through bioactive metabolites derived from dietary substrates. Microbiota‐produced SCFAs, secondary BAs, one‐carbon metabolites, and tryptophan‐derived ligands regulate histone acetylation, DNA methylation, and chromatin remodeling via HDAC, DNMT, AhR, and metabolic cofactor‐dependent pathways ...

A personal 360° view of applications of ‘biomimetic’ molecular recognition
Abstract Molecular recognition between biological molecules has formed the basis for innumerable applications in biotechnology for the last seven decades or so. Techniques such as affinity chromatography, solid‐phase and aqueous two‐phase extraction, affinity precipitation, biomimetic catalytic systems, biosensors and molecular imprinting all exploit ...
