Atroxlysin-III, A Metalloproteinase from the Venom of the Peruvian Pit Viper Snake Bothrops atrox (Jergon) Induces Glycoprotein VI Shedding and Impairs Platelet Function
Atroxlysin-III (Atr-III) was purified from the venom of Bothrops atrox. This 56-kDa protein bears N-linked glycoconjugates and is a P-III hemorrhagic metalloproteinase. Its cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence reveals a multidomain structure including a propro ...
2019The heparin binding domain of von Willebrand factor binds to growth factors and promotes angiogenesis in wound healing
Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Yoji Tabata, Jun Ishihara, Kazuto Fukunaga
During wound healing, the distribution, availability, and signaling of growth factors (GFs) are orchestrated by their binding to extracellular matrix components in the wound microenvironment. Extracellular matrix proteins have been shown to modulate angiog ...

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Seung Tae Lee, Lambert Charles François Potin, Jun Ishihara, Kazuto Fukunaga, Michal Mateusz Raczy
Cancer immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) has demonstrated clinical efficacy but is frequently accompanied with severe adverse events caused by excessive and systemic immune system activation. Here, we addressed ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2019Bio-engineered collagen-fibrin scaffolds for enhancing urological tissue regeneration
Urological tissue engineering offers alternative solutions for congenital and acquired diseases of the urinary tract, which may require reconstructive surgery. It evolves to overcome complications, which might be encountered after surgery. Therefore, tissu ...
EPFL2015The characterization of twenty sequenced human genomes
We present the analysis of twenty human genomes to evaluate the prospects for identifying rare functional variants that contribute to a phenotype of interest. We sequenced at high coverage ten "case" genomes from individuals with severe hemophilia A and te ...
