Engineered B7‐H3 Binding in Modular Gp2 Miniproteins

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT B7‐H3, an important immune checkpoint modulator of T‐cell function, is a tumor vasculature biomarker and is overexpressed in a variety of cancers. Its expression is associated with tumor growth, metastasis, and poor clinical prognosis, which makes B7‐H3 an appealing target for diagnostics and therapeutics.

The structure of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor gene [PDF]

Blood, 1994
The cellular receptor for urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPAR) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane protein that plays a central role in pericellular plasminogen activation. It contains 313 amino acid residues, including 28 cysteine residues in a pattern of three homologous repeats. The cysteine residue pattern suggests that

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

The Roles of Fibrinolytic Factors in Bone Destruction Caused by Inflammation

Cells
Chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn’s disease, periodontitis, and carcinoma metastasis frequently result in bone destruction.

Gut microbiota‐related modulation of immune mechanisms in post‐infarction remodelling and heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 942-954, April 2025.
Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

Surface α-enolase promotes extracellular matrix degradation and tumor metastasis and represents a new therapeutic target.

PLoS ONE, 2013
In previous research, we found α-enolase to be inversely correlated with progression-free and overall survival in lung cancer patients and detected α-enolase on the surface of lung cancer cells.

Causal correlations between inflammatory proteins and heart failure: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1374-1385, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

Expression of urokinase‐type plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor in colon disease

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 1995
AbstractSurveillance colonoscopy and biopsy are inaccurate methods of predicting the likelihood of ulcerative colitis patients to develop colon carcinoma. We examined uPA and PAI‐1 as potential markers for assessing these patients and those with familial polyposis who are at risk of developing colon cancer.

Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor: A Beacon of Malignancy? [PDF]

Clinical Cancer Research, 2008
Abstract Discriminating between benign and malignant disease is a pivotal diagnostic issue in the care of women with pelvic masses. Identification of serum biomakers that can rellably make the distinction would aid in the proper referral for patient care and may provide leads in the development of early detection strategies.
