Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

Cysteine peptidases and their inhibitors in breast and genital cancer.
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010 Cysteine proteinases and their inhibitors probably play the main role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. The metastasis process need external proteolytic activities that pass several barriers which are membranous structures of the connective tissue which ...

Diabetic retinopathy: could the alpha-1 antitrypsin be a therapeutic option? [PDF]
, 2014 Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most important causes of blindness. The underlying mechanisms of this disease include inflammatory changes and remodeling processes of the extracellular-matrix (ECM) leading to pericyte and vascular endothelial cell ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study investigated how PYCR1 inhibition in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) indirectly affects multiple myeloma (MM) cell metabolism and viability. Culturing MM cells in conditioned medium from PYCR1‐silenced BMSCs impaired oxidative phosphorylation and increased sensitivity to bortezomib.

Tomato prosystemin gene in other Solanaceae [PDF]
, 2009 Systemin, an octadeca-peptide isolated from tomato, is a signalling molecule involved in local and systemic wound response. It regulates the activation of more than twenty defensive genes in tomato plants in response to herbivore attacks.
