Permeable Lung Vasculature Creates Chemoresistant Endothelial Niche by Producing SERPINE1 at Breast Cancer Metastatic Sites

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Vascular permeability is increased by lung metastasis, which correlates with YAP activation in ECs. Activated ECs provide SERPINE1 to neighboring cancer cells to promote chemoresistance and stemness. ABSTRACT Chemotherapy resistance remains a major obstacle for eradicating metastatic cancer cells in distant organs. We identified that endothelial cells (

A network analysis to identify pathophysiological pathways distinguishing ischaemic from non-ischaemic heart failure [PDF]

, 2019
Aims Heart failure (HF) is frequently caused by an ischaemic event (e.g. myocardial infarction) but might also be caused by a primary disease of the myocardium (cardiomyopathy).

Discovery of a novel conformational equilibrium in urokinase-type plasminogen activator

Scientific Reports, 2017
Although trypsin-like serine proteases have flexible surface-exposed loops and are known to adopt higher and lower activity conformations, structural determinants for the different conformations have remained largely obscure.

Obesity‐related glomerulopathy: How it happens and future perspectives

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Obesity‐related glomerulopathy (ORG) is an emerging complication of excess adiposity. Its incidence rises alongside the obesity pandemic. Up to 40% of individuals can be affected by ORG, irrespective of the status of glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria.

Enabling Edge Cloud Intelligence for Activity Learning in Smart Home [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We propose a novel activity learning framework based on Edge Cloud architecture for the purpose of recognizing and predicting human activities. Although activity recognition has been vastly studied by many researchers, the temporal features that constitute an activity, which can provide useful insights for activity models, have not been exploited to ...

Transcriptional Regulation of Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator Receptor by Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 Is Crucial for Invasion of Pancreatic and Liver Cancer

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2009
Angioinvasion is critical for metastasis with urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and tumor hypoxia-activated hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) as key players.

Circadian misalignment disrupts biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk and promotes a hypercoagulable state

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 5450-5466, October 2024.
We studied the impact of circadian misalignment on 238 plasma proteins linked to cardiovascular physiology. We identified 42 proteins with altered abundance, five proteins regulated by the circadian clock, and changes in many proteins in the coagulation pathway.

Interdependence of kallikrein-related peptidases in proteolytic networks [PDF]

, 2010
Human kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) are 15 homologous serine proteases involved in several (patho)physiological processes, including cancer. Secreted as precursors, they are activated upon proteolytic release of a short propeptide. We searched for

Active turbulence in active nematics [PDF]

, 2016
Dense, active systems show active turbulence, a state characterised by flow fields that are chaotic, with continually changing velocity jets and swirls. Here we review our current understanding of active turbulence. The development is primarily based on the theory and simulations of active liquid crystals, but with accompanying summaries of related ...
