Frequency of ZFHX3‐Mediated Spinocerebellar Ataxia 4 in a US Undiagnosed Ataxia Cohort

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia 4 (SCA4) is a late‐onset dominant ataxia with neuropathy caused by exonic GGC repeat expansion in the ZFHX3 gene thought to originate from a Swedish founder event. The GC‐rich expansion is highly thermodynamically stable, posing challenges for standard clinical genetic testing methods.

Matrix metalloproteinases in skeletal muscles: Friends or foes?

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2012
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are members of an enzyme family that require a zinc ion at their active site. Active at neutral pH, they catalyze normal turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) and are critical for maintaining tissue allostasis.

Senotherapeutics for Knee Osteoarthritis

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that imposes a significant economic burden and deteriorates quality of life. Nevertheless, current therapeutic options for OA are limited to symptomatic remedies. As such, there is a high interest in novel methods for treating or preventing OA.

Genomics and epigenomics of tissue repair: Implications for personalized medicine

open access: yesPrecision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Genomic and epigenomic mechanisms govern tissue repair and regeneration through dynamic regulation of inflammation, cell fate, and extracellular matrix remodeling. The integration of multi‐omics, artificial intelligence, and precision regenerative therapies enables biomarker‐driven, personalized approaches to enhance healing and minimize fibrosis ...

Multitarget Regulatory Mechanisms and Research Advances of Plant‐Derived Bioactive Ingredients in Hypertension Prevention and Management

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the multi‐target and multi‐pathway mechanisms of PDBI in the prevention and management of hypertension. ABSTRACT Hypertension remains a major global risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, yet current treatments face challenges such as suboptimal blood pressure control and inadequate organ protection.

Metalloproteinases and Their Tissue Inhibitors in Comparison between Different Chronic Pneumopathies in the Horse

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2015
In chronic respiratory disease, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to pathological tissue destruction when expressed in excess, while tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) counteract MMPs with overexpression leading to fibrosis ...

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment Prevents Post-Stroke Dysregulation of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: Stem cell treatment is one of the potential treatment options for ischemic stroke. We recently demonstrated a protective effect of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCB-MSCs) in a rat model of ischemic stroke ...

Protein Corona Engineering of Lipid Nanoparticles Enables Efficient Functional Gene Silencing in the Liver

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
By shaping the protein corona, lipid composition directs LNP tropism and enables the preferential delivery of a TIMP1‐targeting siRNA to liver macrophages. In a murine model of primary biliary cholangitis, this strategy promoted macrophage reprogramming and attenuated liver fibrosis.
