Glycoprotein Ia (GPIa), also known as integrin alpha 2 (ITGA2), together with GPIIa (ITGB1), form the heterodimer integrin α2β1. This complex is a major collagen receptor on the membrane of platelets, which is involved in thrombus formation through platelet adhesion and activation.

Ecytonucleospora hepatopenaei (EHP) disease prevalence and mortality in Litopenaeus vannamei: a comparative study from Eastern India shrimp farms.
BMC Microbiol
December 2024
Aquatic Environmental Biotechnology (AEB) Division, ICAR-Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (CIFRI), Barrackpore, 700120, India.
Ecytonucleospora hepatopenaei (EHP), a microsporidian parasite first named and characterized from the Penaeus monodon (black or giant tiger shrimp), causes growth retardation and poses a significant threat to shrimp farming. We observed shrimp farms associated with disease conditions during our fish disease surveillance and health management program in West Bengal, India. Shrimp exhibited growth retardation and increased size variability, particularly in advanced stages, exhibiting soft shells, lethargy, reduced feeding and empty midguts.

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) arises from mutations in collagen-III, a major structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in vascularized tissues, including blood vessels. Fibrillar collagens form a triple-helix that is characterized by a canonical (Gly-X-Y)n sequence. The substitution of another amino acid for Gly within this conserved repeating sequence is associated with several hereditary connective tissue disorders, including vEDS.

Article Synopsis
- Recent studies have focused on the link between genetic variations (polymorphisms) and aspirin resistance (AR) in patients with ischemic diseases, aiming to identify potential biomarkers for genetic testing before prescribing aspirin.
- The research involved analyzing 75 articles and evaluating 94 candidate gene polymorphisms, with 25 genes undergoing meta-analysis, revealing 23 significant associations with AR, including notable genes like PTGS2 and ITGA2.
- Subgroup analyses further highlighted specific genetic variations associated with AR across different populations, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches in aspirin therapy based on genetic profiles.
Serum integrin accumulation during asthma exacerbation: The role of matrix metalloproteinases.
Scand J Immunol

The inflammation caused by asthma exacerbation can lead to permanent changes in the airways and loss of lung function. Integrins are membrane receptors that interact with components of the extracellular matrix and cell adhesion molecules. It is known that these receptors can be found in soluble form in some conditions such as asthma, but it is unknown if exacerbation during asthma leads to soluble integrins.

Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous implants for amputees need to prevent infections and provide stability, but a reliable natural barrier between the implant and surrounding tissues is still a challenge.* -
- The use of a microporous structure in a new implant design (SBIP) could help by allowing soft and bone tissues to integrate into the implant, potentially enhancing infection resistance and osseointegration.* -
- Research using 3D-printed titanium discs showed that pore sizes between 200-500 µm support better adhesion of skin cells, while larger pores (400-800 µm) are more effective for promoting bone cell differentiation, indicating specific pore sizes are crucial for optimal cell interactions.*
