Biomarkers to predict outcomes in diabetic foot ulcers
VIEW, EarlyView.Studies attempting to predict the healing outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have investigated various biological materials and recovered molecules that may aid in discriminating wounds that will heal and those that will not heal. This graphical abstract captures the commonly studied classes of biomarkers in the context of DFUs.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity and a downregulated Hedgehog pathway impair blood-brain barrier function in an in vitro model of CNS tuberculosis [PDF]
, 2017 Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS TB) has a high mortality and morbidity associated with severe inflammation. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain from inflammation but the mechanisms causing BBB damage in CNS TB are uncharacterized ...

Frequent Loss of TIMP-3 Expression in Progression of Esophageal and Gastric Adenocarcinomas
Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2008 Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP-3) promoter methylation has been linked to loss of TIMP-3 expression in various cancers. In this study, we analyzed TIMP-3 gene methylation using MethyLight assay and TIMP-3 mRNA expression using reverse ...

Multimodal Assessment of Kidney Quality During 24‐h of Normothermic Machine Perfusion
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has emerged as a promising tool for assessing kidney quality prior to transplantation; however, reliable biomarkers remain to be established. In this study, thirteen porcine kidneys were perfused for 24 h using an autologous leukocyte‐filtered whole blood‐based perfusate applying urine recirculation.

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

Targeting the microbiota‐miRNA‐protease axis: A new therapeutic avenue in melanoma
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Modulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is central to melanoma progression and metastasis, driven largely by ECM proteases. This review highlights the epigenetic regulation of ECM proteases by microRNAs and their roles in melanoma growth, invasion, and immune modulation.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...
