Translational Considerations for Injectable Biomaterials and Bioscaffolds to Repair and Regenerate Brain Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Low levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 at birth may be associated with subsequent development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants [PDF]

Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2015
PurposeBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is characterized by inflammation with proteolytic damage to the lung extracellular matrix. The results from previous studies are inconsistent regarding the role of proteinases and antiproteinases in the development

Interleukin-17 regulates matrix metalloproteinase activity in human pulmonary tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) is characterized by extensive pulmonary matrix breakdown. Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is key in host defence in TB but its role in TB-driven tissue damage is unknown.

Inactivation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 by peroxynitrite [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1996
Peroxynitrate (ONOO−) has recently been implicated in connective tissue destruction in vivo. We have studied the effect of ONOO− on the activity of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐1 (TIMP‐1) in vitro. The inactivation of TIMP‐1 by ONOO− was dose dependent with 50 μM ONOO− reducing the inhibitory activity of TIMP‐1 towards gelatinase‐A by 50 ...
