Hydrogel‐Mediated Preservation of Live Tumor Explants for Drug Development in Peritoneal Metastases
This study presents a hyaluronan‐based hydrogel platform preserving the native tumor microenvironment (morphology, tissue composition, histology) of patient‐derived explants from peritoneal metastases, enabling clinically relevant drug screening. Hydrogel properties such as stiffness and degradation are crucial for longer‐term histoculture.

Functional, pathogenic, and pharmacological roles of protein folding intermediates
Abstract Protein expression and function in eukaryotic cells are tightly harmonized processes modulated by the combination of different layers of regulation, including transcription, processing, stability, and translation of messenger RNA, as well as assembly, maturation, sorting, recycling, and degradation of polypeptides.

The secretion of plasminogen activators by human myeloid leukemic cells in vitro.
Peripheral blood cell preparation from 23 normal subjects and 72 patients with acute and 32 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia were cultured in vitro and released plasminogen activators were analyzed. The quantity of plasminogen activator secreted by

Measuring the metastatic potential of cancer cells [PDF]
Cancer cells must secrete proteolytic enzymes to invade adjacent tissues and migrate to a new metastatic site. Urokinase (uPA) is a key enzyme related to metastasis in cancers of the lung, colon, gastric, uterine, breast, brain, and malignant melanoma. A

A Perspective of Coagulation Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis and in Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis [PDF]
A key role of both coagulation and vascular thrombosis has been reported since the first descriptions of multiple sclerosis (MS). Subsequently, the observation of a close concordance between perivascular fibrin(ogen) deposition and the occurrence of ...

Hydrophobin‐Coated Echogenic Microbubbles for Molecular Targeting of Tumor Cells
Echogenic microbubbles based on hydrophobin and corresponding fusion protein (HFBI‐domZ) are developed as contrast agents for cancer diagnostics. Hydrophobin provides high stabilization of encapsulated perfluoro‐n‐butane, and fusion proteins allow further versatile functionalization with antibodies. In‐vitro experiments indicate that these microbubbles

Recent advances in cardiovascular medicines : thrombolytics [PDF]
Thrombolytic therapy represents a major advance in reducing mortality following myocardial infarction. Pharmacists must be aware of the principles and problems of thrombolysis and the extant large studies conducted in hospitals and in the community. This

A highly efficient extracorporeal device for treating bacteremia is developed by integrating microfluidic bacterial margination and engineered cell‐depleted thrombi strategically constructed in the device. The rodent models, severely infected with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, recover from bacteremia after two subsequent extracorporeal blood ...

Leukocyte- and endothelial-derived microparticles: a circulating source for fibrinolysis
Background We recently assigned a new fibrinolytic function to cell-derived microparticles in vitro. In this study we explored the relevance of this novel property of microparticles to the in vivo situation.Design and Methods Circulating microparticles ...
