Activation of the Urokinase Plasminogen Activator/Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor System in Periodontitis: A Case–Control Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The plasminogen activating (PA) system has a multitude of functions such as wound healing, proteolytic activity, collagen degradation and cell growth, and the role of the urokinase plasminogen activator/urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPA/uPAR) system has been studied in many disease states.

The Biological Basis of the Merlin CP‐GEP Assay: Integrin Signaling and Early Metastatic Competence in Cutaneous Melanoma

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Merlin CP‐GEP integrates mechanistic insights into a clinically actionable assay to predict SLN metastasis risk and inform personalized management of cutaneous melanoma. ABSTRACT The recent inclusion of the Merlin clinicopathologic–gene expression profile (CP‐GEP) assay in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Melanoma Guidelines represents ...

Interleukin‐12: Central Roles in Immune Regulation and Disease Therapy

open access: yesImmunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
IL‐12 levels are tightly regulated to balance effective protective immunity against infections and cancer with the risk of excessive inflammation and autoimmune disease. Both insufficient and excessive IL‐12 activity can therefore be detrimental, highlighting the importance of precisely controlling its production and signaling. ABSTRACT Interleukin‐12 (

Plasminogen activators, their inhibitors, and urokinase receptor emerge in late stages of melanocytic tumor progression

open access: yes, 1994
Degradation of the extracellular matrix and other tissue barriers by proteases like plasminogen activators (PAs) is a prerequisite for neoplastic growth and metastasis. Recently, we reported that highly metastatic behavior of human melanoma cells in nude

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes
