A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Proteolysis at the extracellular matrix interface: Molecular architects and regulators in health and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic scaffold that orchestrates tissue architecture and cellular communication. A critical but underexplored interplay between proteases and cluster of differentiation molecules (CD) governs ECM turnover and directs cell fate.

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

The Effect of Chlorhexidine Mouthwash on Blood Pressure: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study evaluated the effect of rinsing with a chlorhexidine containing mouthwash (CHX‐MW) on blood pressure (BP), as compared to rinsing with a control MW or no MW, based on (randomised) controlled trials and observational studies in humans. PROSPERO CRD42020222495.

Investigator‐Led Research to Improve the Diagnostic Assessment of Platelet Function Disorders: Reflections on the Challenges and Rewards

open access: yesInternational Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Investigator‐led research and quality improvement initiatives have led to important improvements in the diagnostic assessment of platelet function disorders (PFD). Methods Personal reflections were used to summarize our contributions to knowledge on PFD diagnostic assessment, pathogenesis, and bleeding risks.

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
