Engineered B7‐H3 Binding in Modular Gp2 Miniproteins

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT B7‐H3, an important immune checkpoint modulator of T‐cell function, is a tumor vasculature biomarker and is overexpressed in a variety of cancers. Its expression is associated with tumor growth, metastasis, and poor clinical prognosis, which makes B7‐H3 an appealing target for diagnostics and therapeutics.

Origin and diversification of the plasminogen activation system among chordates

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background The plasminogen (PLG) activation system is composed by a series of serine proteases, inhibitors and several binding proteins, which together control the temporal and spatial generation of the active serine protease plasmin. As this proteolytic

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

Angioscopy Visualized a Residual Free‐Floating Thrombus in Mild Carotid Artery Stenosis Following Acute MCA Occlusion: A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carotid free‐floating thrombus (CFFT) is a rare yet severe cause of the ischemic stroke. Early identification and appropriate management are crucial to prevent recurrent embolic events. A 76‐year‐old man experienced sudden left‐sided hemiparesis and dysarthria.

PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR OF YERSINIA PESTIS

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2015
Plague has been the cause of three pandemics and has led to the death of millions of people. Plague is a typical zoonosis caused by Yersinia pestis that circulates in populations of wild rodents inhabiting natural plague foci on all continents except for

Gut microbiota‐related modulation of immune mechanisms in post‐infarction remodelling and heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 942-954, April 2025.
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 ...

Causal correlations between inflammatory proteins and heart failure: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1374-1385, April 2025.
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.

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...

Fibrinolysis protease receptors promote activation of astrocytes to express pro-inflammatory cytokines

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background Astrocytes contribute to the crosstalk that generates chronic neuro-inflammation in neurological diseases; however, compared with microglia, astrocytes respond to a more limited continuum of innate immune system stimulants.
