Abstract Aims Following myocardial infarction (MI), the heart repairs itself via a fibrotic repair response. The degree of fibrosis is determined by balance between deposition extracellular matrix (ECM) activated fibroblasts and breakdown nascent scar tissue proteases that are secreted predominantly inflammatory cells. Excessive proteolytic activity turnover has been observed in human failure, protease inhibitors injured regulate breakdown. Serine (Serpins) represent largest most...
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive vascular disease characterized by remodeling, stiffening, and luminal obstruction, driven dysregulated cell proliferation, inflammation, extracellular matrix (ECM) alterations. Despite the recognized contribution of ECM dysregulation to PH pathogenesis, precise molecular alterations in matrisome remain poorly understood. In this study, we employed matrisome-focused proteomics approach map protein composition young bovine calf model acute...
Abstract Identification and characterization of snake venom toxins that interfere with hemostasis have important implications for the treatment envenomation, bioprospecting therapeutically useful molecules, development research tools investigating hematologic disorders. Many venoms been shown to possess thrombolytic activity. However, it remains unclear if actions on other clot-stabilizing proteins beyond fibrin chains contribute significantly venom-induced thrombolysis because clot-wide...

Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) employs various metabolic pathways to generate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), which is essential for redox balance, fatty acid synthesis, and energy production. GAPN, a non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, plays role in this process by directly reducing NADP
Abstract New treatments that circumvent the pitfalls of traditional antivenom therapies are critical to address problem snakebite globally. Numerous snake venom toxin inhibitors have shown promising cross-species neutralization medically significant toxins in vivo and vitro . The development high-throughput approaches for screening such could accelerate their identification, testing, implementation, thus holds exciting potential improving outcomes envenomation worldwide. Energetics-based...
