The impact of signaling pathways on the desmosome ultrastructure in pemphigus
Introduction: The autoantibody-driven disease pemphigus vulgaris (PV) impairs desmosome adhesion in the epidermis. In desmosomes, the pemphigus autoantigens desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) and Dsg3 link adjacent ...

Thrombospondin 1 acts as a strong promoter of transforming growth factor β effects via two distinct mechanisms in hepatic stellate cells
TSP-1 mRNA and protein were detected in quiescent and activated cultured hepatic stellate cells (HSC) and TSP-1 expression was highly inducible by platelet derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) and, to a ...
