However, the same proteolytic activity that protects against pathogens can, when unregulated, contribute to tissue injury, autoimmune inflammation, and chronic disease progression. ...
In nature, collagen is a vital structural protein, widely present in the skin, bones, tendons, and other connective tissues of humans and animals. Type III collagen is particularly common in newly formed connective tissues and rapidly growing tissues, such as during the wound healing process.The production of ...
Collagen is one of the richest proteins in animals, mainly found in the skin, bones, tendons and connective tissue. Due to its key role in cell structure and tissue regeneration, accurate determination of the molecular weight of collagen is of great significance to the biomedical and cosmetics industry.Common Methods for Determining the Molecular ...
Platelets are an important source of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3 and MMP-14. They are present in most connective tissues. MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-12, MMP-13, and MT1-MMP and MT3-MMP are expressed in various vascular tissues and cells. ...
Introduction to OsteoporosisOsteoporosis is a systemic multi-causal skeletal disease that is prone to fractures due to changes in systemic bone mass and microstructure of bone tissue, resulting in increased bone fragility. Osteoporosis is a type of disease that is difficult to cure. ...
Retinol If the weakening of the deep skin connective tissue of the thighs is the main cause of cellulite (and the excess accumulation of fat), then improving the structure of the skin connective tissue will naturally improve cellulite, and now more and more research supports this idea. ...
Characteristics Glycosaminoglycans are the largest component of the extracellular matrix of molecules in animal tissues, and have a fundamental role in different physiological events. ...
Type II collagen is produced by chondrocytes. Collagen is mainly found in connective tissues of the human body such as skin, internal organs, tendons, cornea, cartilage and bones. ...
The pancreatic tumor microenvironment is highly stromal, meaning that the tumor mass itself is mainly composed of connective tissue and non-cancerous immune cells. Lyssiotis explained, "The matrix arises during natural scarring of the body. ...
We maintain our commitment to their diagnosis, with kits for the in vitro diagnosis of the following rare diseases*: Rare Disease : Diagnostic tests Cystic fibrosis or fibrocystic disease of the pancreas : Determination of 50 cystic fibrosis mutations in patients and relatives by genetic analysis Multiple sclerosis : Determination of anti-ganglioside and anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein ...
Article history: Received 15 May 2021, Revised 1 November 2021, Accepted 4 January 2022, Keywords: Blood vessel prosthesis, Haemodialysis, Regenerative medicine, Tissue engineering, Vascular access INTRODUCTION End stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who are not candidates for autogenous fistulas or whose fistulas have failed, rely on synthetic arteriovenous (AV) grafts (e.g., ...
This may also lead to misdiagnoses of other connective tissue disorders. New data on 14-3-3η (eta) enhances the detection rates of patients with secondary SS Serum 14-3-3η levels were found to be elevated in SLE patients with secondary SS compared to those with SLE without SS ROC analysis showed serum 14-3-3η levels as a predictor of SLE with ...
Prolotherapy has been a part of modern orthopedic practices since the 1940s. It is growing in popularity not just in the U.S., but globally as well. Also known as “regenerative injection therapy” (RIT), prolotherapy is a procedure used to treat musculoskeletal conditions including tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain of the cervical spine, lumbar spine, and pelvis (Sit et ...
Osteogenesis, or new bone formation, begins in the early stages of embryonic development and continues postnatally until skeletal maturity is reached in early adulthood. Osteogenesis reoccurs in the event of bone trauma, such as a fracture or surgically created defect. Bone mass can also increase in response to chronic weight bearing from daily use or decrease due to a lack of movement or applied ...

As an autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis develops when the immune system starts wrongly attacking its own body’s tissues. The process of inflammation involves soft tissues – tendons, ligaments and muscle, also it can affect the bone. Joint tissues (synovial membranes) swell up, there is disturbance in blood circulation and ...
