It is suggested that cyclic compressive loading can promote the chondrogenesis of rabbit BM‐MSCs by inducing the synthesis of TGF‐β1, which can stimulate the BM‐ MSCs to differentiate into chondrocytes.

Results suggest that selective binding of the COOH-terminal dipeptide residue is an impor tan t dete rminant of both the substrate specificity of angiotensin-converting enzyme and the degree of rate stimulation by chloride ion, and that the nature of this selective binding can be further clarified by studying competitive inhibition of dpeptides of vary ing structure.

A series of 7,6- and 7,5-fused bicyclic thiazepinones and oxazepinones were generated and incorporated as conformationally restricted dipeptide surrogates in mercaptoacyl dipePTides, and compound 1a (BMS-186716) was advanced into clinical development for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure.

Cyclic compression maintains viability and induces chondrogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cells in fibrin gel scaffolds.
Results show that cyclic compression (10% strain) at frequencies >0.5 Hz and gel concentration of 40 mg/mL fibrinogen appears to maintain cellular viability within scaffolds, and variations in gel component concentration and stimulus frequency can be modified such that a significant chondrogenic response can be achieved by hMSC in fibrIn constructs after 8 h of compression spread out over 2 days.
Regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene expression by protein kinases.
This review focuses on the regulation of the MMPs by the protein kinases at the level of gene expression and their signaling pathways.
