c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase in Inflammation and Rheumatic Diseases. [PDF]

, 2012
The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) are members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family and are activated by environmental stress. JNK is also activated by proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1, and Toll-like receptor ligands ...

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 ...

Effects of Curcumin against Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and Tissue Inhibitor Metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) Serum Level on Rat Model of Liver Fibrosis Resolution Process

The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy, 2018
Background: Liver fibrosis is an effect from continuous fibrogenesis and fibrolysis process. During fibrogenesis, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 that produced by hepatic stellate cell (HSC) have a role to regulate extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostastic.

Gelsolin induces colorectal tumor cell invasion via modulation of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator cascade [PDF]

, 2012
Gelsolin is a cytoskeletal protein which participates in actin filament dynamics and promotes cell motility and plasticity. Although initially regarded as a tumor suppressor, gelsolin expression in certain tumors correlates with poor prognosis and ...

Urinary matrix metalloproteinase 9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 biomarkers for predicting renal scar in children with urinary tract infection

Urology Research and Practice, 2019
Objective: Urinary tract infection occurs in 1.8–6.6% of children under 6 years old. The aim of this study was to assess the urinary concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1), in children with

Complex regulation of neutrophil-derived MMP-9 secretion in central nervous system tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) may be fatal even with treatment. Neutrophils are the key mediators of TB immunopathology, and raised CSF matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) which correlates to neutrophil count in CNS-TB is ...

Copper–Collagen Interactions Regulate the Mechanical and Invasive Properties of Tumor Spheroids

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic copper is investigated as a modulator of tumor spheroid growth and invasiveness in a 3D microfluidic glioblastoma model. Copper exposure alters metabolic activity, cytoskeletal organization, protrusion dynamics, and EMT‐related phenotypes in a dose‐ and timing‐dependent manner, revealing how copper bioavailability shapes tumor aggressiveness ...

Temporal Patterns of 14 Blood Biomarker candidates of Cardiac Remodeling in Relation to Prognosis of Patients With Chronic Heart Failure—The Bio‐SHiFT Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Remodeling biomarkers carry high potential for predicting adverse events in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. However, temporal patterns during the course of CHF, and especially the trajectory before an adverse event, are unknown.

Cadherin composition and multicellular aggregate invasion in organotypic models of epithelial ovarian cancer intraperitoneal metastasis. [PDF]

, 2017
During epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) progression, intraperitoneally disseminating tumor cells and multicellular aggregates (MCAs) present in ascites fluid adhere to the peritoneum and induce retraction of the peritoneal mesothelial monolayer prior to ...
