A Long‐Lived Human Neurovascular PENTA Culture Model Captures Incomplete Vascular Repair and Glia‐Associated Signaling After Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A long‐lived, five‐cell‐type human neurovascular (PENTA) model recreates vascular disorganization and incomplete repair after traumatic brain injury (TBI). By integrating endothelial, glial, neuronal, and immune components within a 3D scaffold, the platform enables time‐resolved analysis of neurovascular remodeling and provides a human‐relevant system ...

Immunoinflammatory Mechanisms and Biocompatibility of Bioactive Dental Biomaterials: From Fundamental Insights to Clinical Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐host dialogue at the implant interface governs biological fate and osseointegration. Surface physicochemical properties of titanium (Ti) dental implants, including microgrooves, nanopatterns, nanotopography, roughness, and wettability, modulate the initial adsorption of proteins and the formation of a dynamic biointerface.

Expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) in gastric cancer tissue.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010
Degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential step of invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer. The proteolysis of basement membranes depends on the balance between activities of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs).

Increased serum concentrations of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in COPD patients [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2005
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 concentrations are increased in the sputum of asthma and chronic bronchitis patients, and are thought to be related to airflow obstruction. However, serum concentrations of these enzymes have not been clearly evaluated in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Evaluation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage of apparently healthy smokers

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2015
Cigarette smoking has a destructive effect on the extracellular matrix (ECM), so it is considered the most important risk factor for the development of emphysema as it leads to recruitment of activated macrophages and neutrophils in the lung leading to ...
