Exploring biomarkers for keratoconus: current insights and future directions.

Molecular biology reports
Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive corneal disorder characterized by thinning of the cornea and conical protrusion leading to distorted vision and blindness. The disease often marks in adolescence and progresses until the mid-40s, with varying degrees...

Tumor microenvironment expressed enzymes (Matrix metalloproteinases, cathepsins, urokinase-type plasminogen activator) triggered polymersomes for liquid biopsy and cancer diagnostics: A review.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Enzyme-triggered polymersomes have emerged as a transformative platform in liquid biopsy and cancer diagnostics, enabling high-accuracy biomarker detection through precise enzymatic responsiveness. This review comprehensively examines the rational de...

Myricitrin inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor-induced angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and mice.

Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie
In the present study, the protective effects of myricitrin against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis of vascular endothelial cells were characterized. Cells were induced with 50 ng/mL VEGF in the presence or absence of va...

ASAP-SML: An antibody sequence analysis pipeline using statistical testing and machine learning.

PLoS computational biology
Antibodies are capable of potently and specifically binding individual antigens and, in some cases, disrupting their functions. The key challenge in generating antibody-based inhibitors is the lack of fundamental information relating sequences of ant...

Knowledge-transfer learning for prediction of matrix metalloprotease substrate-cleavage sites.

Scientific reports
Matrix Metalloproteases (MMPs) are an important family of proteases that play crucial roles in key cellular and disease processes. Therefore, MMPs constitute important targets for drug design, development and delivery. Advanced proteomic technologies...

Inside a Metastatic Fracture: Molecular Bases and New Potential Therapeutic Targets.

Cancer medicine
INTRODUCTION: 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...

A ferrobotic system for automated microfluidic logistics.

Science robotics
Automated technologies that can perform massively parallelized and sequential fluidic operations at small length scales can resolve major bottlenecks encountered in various fields, including medical diagnostics, -omics, drug development, and chemical...
