Proteomic exploration of potential blood biomarkers in haemophilic arthropathy
Abstract Background and Aims The pathophysiology of haemophilic arthropathy (HA) is complex and largely undefined. Proteomic analyses provide insights into the intricate mechanisms of the HA. Our study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins in relation to the severity of HA, explore their pathophysiological roles, and evaluate their ...

This study examined the effects of metformin (MF) and trodusquemine (MSI‐1436) on the livers of young, developing mice. We discovered that MSI‐1436 significantly alters mRNA and miRNA expression more potently than MF, impacting key metabolic pathways.

Scale‐Dependent Rheology of Synovial Fluid Lubricating Macromolecules
A multiscale methodology using optical tweezers is developed to examine the interactions between hyaluronic acid (HA) and proteoglycan‐4 (PRG4/lubricin), which are major lubricating biomolecules of synovial fluid in the joints. For the first time, the length scale dependent structure and rheology in solution are characterized, providing a framework for

Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) treatment improves skin wound healing in a porcine model
Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) is commonly found in synovial fluid of the articular joint and serves as a boundary lubricant of articular cartilage. Interestingly, we show that human recombinant proteoglycan 4 (rhPRG4) improves healing of porcine full‐thickness skin injuries. rhPRG4 treatment decreases fibrosis, increases vascularization, and retains adipocytes

Despite the evidence of the fundamental influence of the endocrine system on metabolism in ruminants, there is little literature on hormonal status. There is insufficient data on tissue hormones, particularly insulin-like growth factor and leptin.

Although islet transplantation has the potential to serve as a curative treatment for type 1 diabetes, there are many hurdles to achieving long‐term islet graft survival. This review discusses the recent advances in strategies to improve islet survival function using exogenous compounds and conformal coatings as a promising tool for improving islet ...

The biophysical and compositional properties of human basement membranes
Basement membranes are exceptionally adaptable materials with both extremely stiff and highly elastic properties. This article highlights these features on a selection of human membranes and links them to compositional, biomechanical, and structural profiles down to a molecular level. The role of water in modulating these attributes is also scrutinized

Guidelines on diagnostics and treatment of acromegaly (draft)
We recommend acromegaly to be ruled in all patients with characteristic changes in appearance (A3). In all patients without characteristic changes in appearance, we recommend to rule out acromegaly, if several clinical signs suspicious for acromegaly are

Quantification of insulin‐like growth factor‐I by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry
We describe three methods of sample preparation for the liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric measurement of insulin‐like growth factor‐I concentration in blood. One method involves trypsin digestion, the second involves intact protein quantification and the third method is a combination of the first two.
