The thrombospondins are a family of proteins generated by alternative splicing and gene
duplication, which contain binding sites for many soluble proteins and up to five cellular …

As a self‐degrading and highly conserved survival mechanism, autophagy plays an
important role in maintaining cell survival and recycling. The discovery of autophagy‐related …

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating subtype of stroke with high mortality and
disability rate. Meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) are a newly discovered intracranial fluid …

Thrombospondins are encoded in vertebrates by a family of 5 THBS genes. THBS1 is
infrequently mutated in most cancers, but its expression is positively regulated by several …

A new member of the thrombospondin gene family, designated thrombospondin-4, has been
identified in the Xenopus laevis genome. The predicted amino acid sequence indicates that …

A third member of the thrombospondin gene family (Thbs3) has been partially characterized
in the mouse. In both the mouse and humans, the Thbs3/THBS3 gene is located …

Matricellular proteins (MCPs) are actively expressed non-structural proteins present in the
extracellular matrix, which rapidly turnover and possess regulatory roles, as well as mediate …

The diverse and occasionally conflicting properties described for the extracellular, cell
surface-associated protein thrombospondin (TSP) have raised the possibility that …

Abstract Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8)(also known as betatrophin) is a newly
