Decellularized Aged Bruch's Membrane Confers Unique Biochemical Cues to Retinal Pigment Epithelium for In Vitro Modeling of Age‐Related Macular Degeneration

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
A Bruchs membrane (BrM) mimic based on aged decellularized BrM was developed and differentially expressed proteins in aged dECM‐BrM that may provide specific biochemical cues fundamental to model AMD in vitro were identified. RPE culture on aged dECM‐BrM developed certain AMD‐like features including reduced TEER and expression of drusen components ...

The Alpha‐1 Pi*MZ Genotype Is an Independent Risk Factor for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Development in Patients With ACLD

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 63, Issue 10, Page 1380-1389, May 2026.
Alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and the liver. The role of the heterozygous genetic defect in the development of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis is unclear. Our study found that carrying the Pi*MZ genotype increases the risk of developing liver cancer.

The Multifaceted Role of Keratinocytes in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Pathogenesis

open access: yesExperimental Dermatology, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic autoinflammatory skin disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, with multiple factors contributing to its onset, activity and progression. Alongside a predisposing genetic background, hormonal and microbiome alterations, dysregulation of innate and adaptive immune response, as well as environmental ...

The Conjugated Bile Acids Profile Suggests a Novel Liver‐Muscle Axis Associated With Sarcopenia in Chronic Liver Disease

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Liver‐related sarcopenia is a devastating systemic complication of chronic liver disease (CLD) driven by mechanisms extending beyond nutritional deficiency. However, the role of liver‐derived humoral factors remains unclear. We utilised a unique cohort of human skeletal muscle biopsies to test the hypothesis that serum conjugated ...

The Role of Piezo 1 in the Study of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration: Phenotype, Mechanism and Treatment

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 897-914, May 2026.
As the key mechanotransducer in IVDD, Piezo1 orchestrates region‐specific degeneration across NP (senescence/ECM dysregulation), AF (apoptosis), and CEP (inflammation). This review integrates mechanistic pathways and assesses multimodal therapeutic targeting (pharmacologic/genetic/nutritional) to restore disc homeostasis.

A Potential Novel Molecular Interaction in Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome in Lung Transplantation Patients: The Role of SERPINA3 and Osteoprotegerin

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
Serum SERPINA3 levels were higher in BOS compared to non‐BOS patients. OPG and SERPINA3 positive cells colocalized with tryptase positive mast cells in airways from BOS lung tissue. OPG and SERPINA3 staining positively correlated in partially and completely obstructed airways.

The plasmin-antiplasmin system: structural and functional aspects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The plasmin-antiplasmin system plays a key role in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. Plasmin and α2-antiplasmin are primarily responsible for a controlled and regulated dissolution of the fibrin polymers into soluble fragments. However, besides plasmin(

Analysis of AlphaFold and molecular dynamics structure predictions of mutations in serpins.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) include thousands of structurally conserved proteins playing key roles in many organisms. Mutations affecting serpins may disturb their conformation, leading to inactive forms.
