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.

Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Eosinophil-Mediated Airway Remodeling

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Airway remodeling is responsible for the progressive decline of lung function in bronchial asthma. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 and fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition are involved in tissue remodeling.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 are key regulators of extracellular matrix degradation by mouse embryos

, 2001
Embryo implantation in humans and rodents is a highly invasive yet tightly controlled process involving extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) has been implicated as the major facilitator of this ECM degradation. MMP-9

Inhibition of Trophoblast-Induced Spiral Artery Remodeling Reduces Placental Perfusion in Rat Pregnancy. [PDF]

, 2010
Rats harboring the human angiotensinogen and human renin genes develop preeclamptic features in pregnancy. The preeclamptic rats exhibit a deeper trophoblast invasion associated with a reduced resistance index by uterine Doppler.

Disparate Remodeling of the Extracellular Matrix and Proteoglycans in Failing Pediatric Versus Adult Hearts

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of heart failure in adult and pediatric patients, but the underlying mechanism may vary in adults and children, with few studies conducted to date.

Matrix metalloproteinase and tissue inhibitor expression in atherosclerotic and nonatherosclerotic thoracic aortic aneurysms [PDF]

, 2007
ObjectivesThe altered expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors influences the formation of atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms. Their association with thoracic aneurysms is less clear.

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 predicts early allograft dysfunction after liver transplantation

European Journal of Medical Research
Background The lack of objective criteria to assess graft integrity represents a major impediment to the acceptance of livers of limited quality as a way to increase the donor pool in liver transplantation.

Circulating interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels are associated with aortic dimensions in genetic aortic conditions.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundBiomarkers that reflect progression of dilatation of the aorta in patients with aortic conditions are needed as surrogate tools to assist in monitoring the condition in a non-invasive manner in combination with imaging procedures.
