Brain metastasis‐associated fibroblasts shape the tumour microenvironment to enhance cancer cell invasion

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Brain metastasis‐associated fibroblasts are active stromal components of the metastatic niche characterised by extracellular matrix remodelling and production of pro‐migratory mediators. They promote monocyte and cancer cell migration and enhance cancer cell invasion while having no growth‐promoting effect on cancer cells.

Kininase I drives angiotensin II‐induced hypertension through activation of the bradykinin B1 receptor

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Kininase I, comprising carboxypeptidase N (CPN) and carboxypeptidase M, regulates kinin activity and is up‐regulated during injury, inflammation and immune activation. Under these conditions, kininase I converts bradykinin and kallidin into des‐Arg kinins, primary endogenous agonists of the bradykinin B1 receptor (R ...

Targeting SPARC by lentivirus-mediated RNA interference inhibits cervical cancer cell growth and metastasis

BMC Cancer, 2012
Background Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), a calcium-binding matricellular glycoprotein, is implicated in the progressions of some cancers.

Premium Intraocular Lens Selection in Patients With Glaucoma: A Clinical Review

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glaucoma frequently coexists with cataract, but glaucomatous functional loss, ocular‐surface disease, anatomical abnormalities, and treatment‐related refractive variability may reduce tolerance of premium intraocular lenses. This narrative review critically appraises evidence relevant to lens selection in glaucoma. Central visual‐field status,

Human Embryonic Stem Cell‐Derived Immunity‐And‐Matrix‐Regulatory Cells Attenuate Pulmonary Fibrosis via MMP1‐Mediated Collagen Degradation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Human embryonic stem cell‐derived Immunity‐and‐Matrix‐Regulatory Cells (IMRCs) effectively attenuate pulmonary fibrosis by secreting Matrix Metalloproteinase‐1 (MMP1), which directly degrades excess collagen I in the extracellular matrix. By directly degrading collagen I, IMRCs reverse ECM stiffness, suppress myofibroblast activation, and promote a ...

Elevated IL‐4 and IL‐13 Expression in Hailey‐Hailey Disease: Evidence for Th2‐Mediated Pathogenesis and Targeted Treatment

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hailey‐Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant blistering disorder caused by mutations in the ATP2C1 gene, which impair keratinocyte adhesion through disrupted calcium signaling. While traditionally considered a structural defect, recent studies suggest that Th2‐mediated inflammation may exacerbate disease pathology ...

Longitudinally Monitoring Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis and Treatment Response via Circulating Extracellular Vesicles [PDF]

J Extracell Vesicles
ABSTRACT Lethal prostate cancer (PCa) is dominated by treatment‐refractory progression in bone. In this study, we used plasma‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) for monitoring the tumour and therapy‐induced changes in the bone tumour microenvironment (bone‐TME) in men with bone metastatic PCa (M1b PCa).

Repositioning Non‐Ablative Fractional Lasers ‐ Molecular and Histological Insights from a scoping review

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Near‐infrared non‐ablative fractional lasers (NAFL) are established for skin rejuvenation and scar treatment and have attracted interest for their expanding therapeutic potential. This scoping review aims to revisit and reposition NAFL within a fluence‐dependent continuum of tissue modulation, based on evidence from 27 studies of lasers ...

Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition, enhancing migration and invasion, and is associated with high Gleason score in prostate cancer

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2019
Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is a matricellular protein highly expressed in bone tissue that acts as a chemoattractant factor promoting the arrival of prostate cancer (PCa) cells to the bone marrow.
