Low‐Temperature Fabrication of Thymosin β4‐Loaded Soluble Microneedles to Promote Wound Healing by Specific Binding to Downregulated Immune Regulators Vsig4 and IL22rɑ2

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram depicting the fabrication and application of thymosin β4 (Tβ4)‐loaded microneedle patches for wound treatment. The Tβ4 was loaded into chitosan (CS) and sucrose MNs under mild conditions (4°C, 65% relative humidity). The Tβ4 MN patch specifically binds to the downregulated immune regulators Vsig4 and IL22rα2, thereby accelerating ...

Specific interactions of BCL-2 family proteins mediate sensitivity to BH3-mimetics in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Haematologica, 2020
The BCL-2-specific inhibitor, ABT-199 (venetoclax) has exhibited remarkable clinical activity in nearly all cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In contrast, responses are usually much less in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), despite high level ...

Ovarian Matrisome Dynamics and αvβ3‐Mediated Regulation in Early Follicular Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The matrisome undergoes dynamic remodeling during early follicular development. Integrin αvβ3 mediates matrisome signals, regulating primordial follicle activation/atresia and secondary follicle growth via Hippo/mTOR pathways, with conserved roles in human ovaries, offering therapeutic targets for ovarian disorders.

Exploring the Conformational Space of Bcl-2 Protein Variants: Dynamic Contributions of the Flexible Loop Domain and Transmembrane Region

Molecules, 2019
Members of the Bcl-2 protein family regulate apoptosis through interactions with several proteins. A critical intrinsically disordered region (IDR) present in some members of the Bcl-2 family is essential for their function.

Remimazolam Ameliorates Autistic‐Like Behaviors via Suppression of Ferroptosis in VTA Dopaminergic Neurons in a Mouse Model of ASD

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultra‐short‐acting sedative remimazolam has a sustained therapeutic effect on the core symptoms of VPA‐exposed mice. Remimazolam, a GABA agonist, exerts its therapeutic effects by protecting dopamine neurons in the VTA of VPA‐exposed mice. Meanwhile, ferroptosis is the critical mechanism by which remimazolam protects VTA dopaminergic neurons and ...
