Blocking CD248 molecules in perivascular stromal cells of patients with systemic sclerosis strongly inhibits their differentiation toward myofibroblasts and proliferation: A new potential target for antifibrotic therapy [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Fibrosis may be considered the hallmark of systemic sclerosis (SSc), the end stage triggered by different pathological events. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) are profibrotic molecules ...

ggalign: Bridging the Grammar of Graphics and Biological Multilayered Complexity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ggalign package provides a comprehensive framework for composable visualization built on top of ggplot2. Its primary purpose is to enable the construction of complex multi‐plot layouts with consistent observation alignment across plots, particularly for high‐dimensional data contexts such as genomics, transcriptomics, and microbiome studies ...

BACE2‐Induced Aberrant Lymphatic Network Aggravates the Local Inflammation in Arteriovenous Fistulas With Hyperphosphatemia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐C secreted by Pi16+ fibro‐progenitors lays the foundation of lymphatic network in mouse arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), whereas the elevated phosphate (Pi) in 5/6‐nephrectomy (Nx) mouse activates p‐ERK/p‐SP1/BACE2 pathway to generate additional soluble VEGFR‐3, which causes VEGF‐C unresponsiveness and defective ...

Autosomal dominant C1149R von Willebrand disease: phenotypic findings and their implications

Haematologica, 2009
Background Mutation C1149R in the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene has been thought to cause autosomal dominant severe type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD).Design and Methods Eight patients from three unrelated families with this mutation were included in

Spatial Transcriptional Dynamics of CD74⁺ B Cells in Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Drive Immune Evolution in Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In penile squamous cell carcinoma, a higher tertiary lymphoid structure score is associated with improved survival. This is mediated by CD74⁺ B cells, which exhibit early developmental plasticity and the ability to differentiate into plasma cells. Functioning as a molecular switch, these cells activate naive T cells via HLA‐DRA–CD4 interaction, thereby

Von Willebrand Factor and ADAMTS13 in COVID-19 and Beyond: A Question of Balance

European Medical Journal Nephrology, 2021
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large, adhesive, multimeric protein involved in haemostasis. The larger the size (or number of VWF multimers), the greater the functionality of the protein. A deficiency or defect in VWF can lead to von Willebrand disease

Glucocorticoid Receptor Activation Reprograms NK Cells to Drive AREG‐Mediated Immunosuppression: A Pan‐Cancer Role for AREG

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Natural killer cells, central to anti‐tumor defense, undergo unexpected reprogramming within the tumor microenvironment. Instead of producing IFN‐γ and TNF‐α, they elevate amphiregulin, a tumor‐promoting factor. This shift is linked to glucocorticoid receptor activity and prostaglandin signaling.

Spatial Transcriptomics and snRNA‐seq Expose CAF Niches Orchestrating Dual Stromal‐Immune Barriers in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HmmyCAFs may form a triple immunosuppressive niche: possibly secrete ECM (POSTN, etc.) as physical barriers to block CD8⁺ T cells, induce CD8⁺ T exhaustion via those molecules, and use HIF‐1α‐driven metabolism to create acidic, nutrient‐poor microenvironments that suppress T cells.

Reduced survival of type 2B von Willebrand factor, irrespective of large multimer representation or thrombocytopenia

Haematologica, 2010
Background Type 2B von Willebrand factor (VWF) is characterized by gain of function mutations in the A1 domain inducing a greater affinity for platelet GPIb, possibly associated with the disappearance of large VWF multimers and thrombocytopenia.Design ...
