Lipids are not merely structural components of cellular membranes—they also act as powerful signaling molecules that orchestrate key physiological processes. Among the enzymes regulating lipid signaling, ENPP2 (Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 2), also known as autotaxin, plays a central role by converting lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) into the bioactive lipid ...
In surgical tissue recovery, focus is on controlling infection, managing inflammation, and ensuring wound closure. Beneath the surface—anatomically and biologically— the extracellular matrix (ECM) is undergoing remodeling ensure long-term tissue integrity. The ECM is a dynamic, biologically active network that orchestrates the entire process of ...
Glycoprotein 1b on platelet surfaces assists tissue regeneration and injury repair by attaching to von Willebrand factor (vWF) and collagen from damaged blood vessels and when activated P-selectin from platelets becomes externalized it binds to PSGL-1 or CD44 on tumor cells thereby forming a defensive wall against tumor cells. ...
Hydroxyapatite is the same mineral that makes up the majority of our bones and teeth, which is why bioglass can integrate so well with biological tissues. Advantages of Bioglass l Bioactivity: The most significant advantage of bioglass is its ability to bond with living tissue. ...
