Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive vascular disease characterized by vascular remodeling, stiffening, and luminal obstruction, driven by dysregulated cell proliferation, inflammation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) alterations. Despite the recognized contribution of ECM dysregulation to PH pathogenesis, the precise molecular alterations in the matrisome remain poorly understood. In this study, we employed a matrisome-focused proteomics approach to map the protein composition in a young bovine calf model of acute hypoxia-induced PH.

In classical amyloidoses, amyloid fibres form through the nucleation and accretion of protein monomers, with protofibrils and fibrils exhibiting a cross-β motif of parallel or antiparallel β-sheets oriented perpendicular to the fibre direction. These protofibrils and fibrils can intertwine to form mature amyloid fibres. Similar phenomena can occur in blood from individuals with circulating inflammatory molecules (and also some originating from viruses and bacteria).

Invasion and metastasis are important hallmarks of lung cancer, and affect patients' survival. Early diagnostics of metastatic potential are important for treatment management. Recent findings suggest that the transition to an invasive phenotype causes changes in the expression of 700-800 genes.

Background: Typical bone proteins, such as sclerostin and periostin, have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Simultaneously, several risk scores have been developed to predict CVD in the general population. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the association of these bone proteins related to CVD, with the main vascular risk scales: Framingham Risk Score (FRS), REGICOR and SCORE2-Diabetes, in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic set of molecules produced by the cellular component of normal and pathological tissues of the embryo and adult. ECM acts as critical regulator in various biological processes such as differentiation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and immune control. The most frequent primary brain tumors are gliomas and by far the majority are adult astrocytic tumors (AATs).
