ADAM17 (where ADAM is 'a disintegrin and metalloproteinase') can rapidly modulate cell-surface signalling events by the proteolytic release of soluble forms proligands for cellular receptors. Many regulatory pathways affect sheddase activity, but mechanisms activation are still not clear. We have utilized a cell-based assay to show that thiol isomerases, specifically PDI (protein disulfide isomerase), could be responsible maintaining in an inactive form. Down-regulation changes redox...
Proteolytic release from the cell surface is an essential activation event for many growth factors and cytokines. TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE) a membrane-bound metalloprotease responsible solubilizing pathologically significant membrane substrates attractive therapeutic target treatment of cancer arthritis. Prior attempts to antagonize cell-surface TACE activity have focused on small-molecule inhibition active site. Given highly conserved nature sites, this paradigm has failed produce...
The COVID-19 pandemic has generated unprecedented and sustained health management challenges worldwide. Health care systems continue to struggle support the needs of majority infected individuals that are either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. In addition, long-term effects in form long-lasting symptoms widespread mental issues aggravated by pose a burden on This viewpoint article considers aspects digital solutions how they can play an ongoing role safely addressing gaps available from...
To uncover novel biomarkers that will help predict which patients are at risk and may guide future treatment decisions. A significant proportion of prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy experience a recurrence the disease. Given substantial role hypoxia in development treatment, this investigation focuses on Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF-1alpha) pathway.A tissue microarray was constructed collected from 71 undergoing prostatectomy. The expression proteins involved HIF-1alpha...
The Dutch university medical centres (UMC's) are on the forefront when it comes to validation, implementation and research of telemonitoring. To aid UMC's in their effort, Government has supported by fostering 'Citrien eHealth program'. This program aims at nationwide upscaling telemonitoring via a collaborative network. quantify success this program, study provide insights into current adoption health care professionals (HCP) within UMC's.
Working with eHealth requires health care organizations to make structural changes in the way they work. Organizational structure and process must be adjusted provide high-quality care. This study is a follow-up of systematic literature review on optimally organizing hybrid (eHealth face face) using Donabedian Structure-Process-Outcome (SPO) framework translate findings into modus operandi for organizations.This aimed develop an SPO-based quality assessment model accompanying self-assessment...
