Garbacki N, Willems J, Neutelings T, Lambert C, Deroanne C, Adrian A, et al.
NPJ Microgravity . 2023 Dec; 9(1):91. PMID: 38104197
In space, cells sustain strong modifications of their mechanical environment. Mechanosensitive molecules at the cell membrane regulate mechanotransduction pathways that induce adaptive responses through the regulation of gene expression, post-translational...

J Mol Cell Cardiol . 2019 Aug; 135:149-159. PMID: 31442470
The mitral valve is a complex multilayered structure populated by fibroblast-like cells, valvular interstitial cells (VIC) which are embedded in an extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold and are submitted to the...

Brohee L, Peulen O, Nusgens B, Castronovo V, Thiry M, Colige A, et al.
Sci Rep . 2018 May; 8(1):7050. PMID: 29728578
Propranolol, a widely used non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker, was recently shown to display anticancer properties. Its potential to synergize with certain drugs has been also outlined. However, it is necessary...

Courtois A, Nusgens B, Garbacki N, Hustinx R, Gomez P, Defraigne J, et al.
J Vasc Surg . 2017 Apr; 67(2):585-595.e3. PMID: 28431866
Background: Prediction of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture is a challenging issue. Small noncoding microRNAs (miRNAs) are potent regulators of gene expression and are considered as valuable circulating biomarkers. Recently,...

Bekhouche M, Leduc C, Dupont L, Janssen L, Delolme F, Vadon-Le Goff S, et al.
FASEB J . 2016 Jan; 30(5):1741-56. PMID: 26740262
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I motif (ADAMTS)2, 3, and 14 are collectively named procollagen N-proteinases (pNPs) because of their specific ability to cleave the aminopropeptide of fibrillar...

Int Urogynecol J . 2015 Dec; 27(4):629-35. PMID: 26658755
Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of the study was to correlate histological and biomechanical characteristics of the vaginal wall in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods: Tissue samples were...

Clin Nucl Med . 2015 Oct; 41(1):28-33. PMID: 26447376
Background: Aortitis is a generic term defined as an inflammatory condition involving the aortic wall, of infectious or noninfectious origin. This inflammatory process may deteriorate the aortic wall, resulting in...

Biomed Res Int . 2015 Feb; 2015:747693. PMID: 25649831
A growing number of studies are revealing that cells reorganize their cytoskeleton when exposed to conditions of microgravity. Most, if not all, of the structural changes observed on flown cells...

Kaux J, Janssen L, Drion P, Nusgens B, Libertiaux V, Pascon F, et al.
Muscles Ligaments Tendons J . 2014 Jun; 4(1):24-8. PMID: 24932443
Tendon lesions are among the most frequent musculoskeletal pathologies. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to regulate angiogenesis. VEGF-111, a biologically active and proteolysis-resistant splice variant of this family,...

FASEB J . 2014 Jun; 28(9):4077-87. PMID: 24903274
Bone cells exposed to real microgravity display alterations of their cytoskeleton and focal adhesions, two major mechanosensitive structures. These structures are controlled by small GTPases of the Ras homology (Rho)...
