A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

In Vitro Prevention of Salmonella Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Damages in Epithelial Barrier Function by Various Lactobacillus Strains

Gastroenterology Research and Practice, 2013
Background. Lactobacillus shows beneficial anti-inflammatory effects on Salmonella infection. The maintenance of the tight junction (TJ) integrity plays an importance role in avoiding bacterial invasion.

High prevalence of loss of Claudin‐18 expression in invasive non‐mucinous lung adenocarcinoma: Potential diagnostic implications in routine practice

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Loss of Claudin‐18 (Cldn18) expression is a frequent and specific feature of non‐mucinous lung adenocarcinoma (NM‐LUAD). Cldn18 immunohistochemistry may serve as an ancillary tool for distinguishing malignant from non‐neoplastic alveolar epithelium, as well as for differentiating NM‐LUADs with mucin production from M‐LUADs, particularly in small or ...

Senolytics and Senomorphics Targeting p38MAPK/NF-κB Pathway Protect Endothelial Cells from Oxidative Stress-Mediated Premature Senescence

Cells
Oxidative stress is a prominent causal factor in the premature senescence of microvascular endothelial cells and the ensuing blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction.

Modulazione fisiologica della permeabilità intestinale e assorbimento di molecole idrofiliche [PDF]

, 1983
2009/2010La permeabilità intestinale è regolata dalle tight junctions (TJ) che costituiscono la barriera gastrointestinale e che sono soggette a regolazione fisiologica. Dati di letteratura dimostrano che digiuno e malnutrizione agiscono su tale barriera

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Metabolic Reprogramming and GM‐CSF Secretion in Areca Nut‐Activated Fibroblasts Drive Oral Precancer Progression

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Oral cancer, with a rising global incidence and poor prognosis, is associated with areca nut use in South and Southeast Asia. In this study, we addressed the effects of areca nut extract (ANE) on oral carcinogenesis by modulating fibroblast behavior in oral tissue.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Robotic microinjection enables large-scale transgenic studies of Caenorhabditis elegans

Nature Communications
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is widely employed as a model organism to study basic biological mechanisms. However, transgenic C. elegans are generated by manual injection, which remains low-throughput and labor-intensive, limiting the scope of ...

Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...
