Newest firstIntroduction Bone metastases and pathological fractures significantly impact the prognosis and quality of life in cancer patients. However, clinical and radiological features alone have been shown to fail to predict skeletal related events of a bone metastasis (SREs). Aim This study focuses on key molecular players including Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), Integrins, Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs), Parathorm…
Open article record in new tab ↗Induction of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) by pharmacologic vitreolysis has been largely attempted through the use of enzymatic reagents. Ocriplasmin has been the only FDA-approved clinical reagent so far. Several adverse effects of ocriplasmin have emerged, however, and the search for alternative PVD-inducing reagents continues. Since i) collagen forms an important structural component of the vitreous, and…
Open article record in new tab ↗Integrin-associated protein (IAP) is a receptor for the carboxyl-terminal "cell-binding domain" (CBD) of thrombospondin 1 (TS1). IAP associates with alpha v beta 3 integrin and mAbs against IAP inhibit certain integrin functions. Here we examine the effects of the TS1 CBD and 4N1K (KRFYVVMWKK), a cell-binding peptide derived from it, on the adhesion and spreading on vitronectin (VN) of C32 human melanoma cells whi…
