A high‐throughput bone marrow 3D co‐culture system to study resistance to BCR signalling targeted agents in B‐NHL

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Bone marrow (BM) involvement in B‐cell non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (B‐NHL) is associated with poor prognosis, as the BM microenvironment provides a protective niche that promotes therapeutic resistance. We developed a simplified, automated and high‐throughput 3D BM co‐culture model that faithfully reproduces key tumour–stroma interactions.

Are we hallucinating or can psychedelic drugs modulate the immune system to control inflammation?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs that activate 5‐HT2A receptors have been long used for cultural, medicinal and recreational purposes. Interest in psychedelics for treating psychiatric disorders has resurged recently and is well documented; less well recognised are their anti‐inflammatory properties. Growing evidence now demonstrates that psychedelics modulate immune

Single‐Cell and Multiomic Analysis Reveals Neutrophil Heterogeneity and Prognostic Value in Cervical Lesions

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
This study is the first to identify a novel neutrophil subpopulation, N4, that is closely associated with the progression of cervical cancer. Characterized by high PLAU expression and specific interactions with tumor cells, N4 neutrophils were shown to promote tumor growth and immune modulation.

Indicators of the fibrinolytic system in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with metastatic brain lesions

Опухоли головы и шеи
Introduction. Brain metastases – the most common type of intracranial secondary neoplasms in adults – are characterized by high mortality and are the main cause of death in almost 1/5 of all oncological patients.

E4 engages uPAR and enolase-1 and activates urokinase to exert antifibrotic effects

JCI Insight, 2021
Fibroproliferative disorders such as systemic sclerosis (SSc) have no effective therapies and result in significant morbidity and mortality. We recently demonstrated that the C-terminal domain of endostatin, known as E4, prevented and reversed both ...

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

Urokinase mediates receptor cross-talk [PDF]

Blood, 2003
Cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions are key events in inflammatory cell reactions or during tissue remodeling. For cellular migration or invasion to occur, both integrin adhesion receptors and proteolytic systems linked to the cell surface are required.

Targeting the microbiota‐miRNA‐protease axis: A new therapeutic avenue in melanoma

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Modulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is central to melanoma progression and metastasis, driven largely by ECM proteases. This review highlights the epigenetic regulation of ECM proteases by microRNAs and their roles in melanoma growth, invasion, and immune modulation.

Activation of the Urokinase Plasminogen Activator/Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor System in Periodontitis: A Case–Control Study

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The plasminogen activating (PA) system has a multitude of functions such as wound healing, proteolytic activity, collagen degradation and cell growth, and the role of the urokinase plasminogen activator/urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPA/uPAR) system has been studied in many disease states.

Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor Measurements: Influence of Sample Handling

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2001
Aim The influence of sample handling on soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) concentrations in serum and EDTA plasma was studied in 16 healthy premenopausal women.
