Biological insights in the pathogenesis of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome from proteome profiling of patients' dermal myofibroblasts

Nicola Chiarelli et al.

Summary: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is mainly characterized by generalized joint hypermobility and its complications, with no known molecular basis. The diagnosis is solely clinical and based on strict criteria in the revised EDS classification. Proteomic analysis revealed dysregulated protein networks and pathways associated with hEDS pathophysiology, highlighting potential targets for future management and therapies.

Animal Models of Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes: Phenotype, Pathogenesis, and Translational Potential

Robin Vroman et al.

Summary: The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of heritable connective tissue disorders characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, and tissue fragility. Animal models have been instrumental in studying the pathophysiological aspects associated with EDS, identifying potential therapeutic targets, and providing opportunities for preclinical interventions. These models show similarities to their human counterparts in terms of clinical hallmarks, biomechanics, and tissue structure.

The Role of Cell Adhesion and Cytoskeleton Dynamics in the Pathogenesis of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders

Sabeeha Malek et al.

Summary: Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are a group of disorders characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility, most of which are caused by mutations affecting collagen structure. The pathogenesis of these disorders remains poorly understood, but recent research suggests a possible link to dysfunctional fibroblasts and abnormalities in cell adhesion and cytoskeleton dynamics.

Collagen in Wound Healing

Shomita S. Mathew-Steiner et al.

Summary: Normal wound healing progresses through inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling phases, with collagen playing a key role in regulating these phases. Impairments in wound healing can lead to chronic non-healing wounds, where collagen has been utilized as an adjunct therapy to promote healing.
