The role of mitochondrial proteins in sperm capacitation

open access: yes, 2009
Spermatozoa deposited in the female reproductive tract need to undergo a multifaceted maturation process prior to fertilization termed "capacitation". This process is regulated by several proteins which are compartmentalized in discrete domains of the ...

Differentiating solar lentigines from post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation with hyperspectral imaging: A pilot study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This preliminary study attempted to characterize solar lentigines and post‐inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) observed on Japanese women. Colorimetric features and chromophore concentrations were measured using hyperspectral imaging for each hyperpigmentation type.

Update on mammalian sperm capacitation: How much does the horse differ from other species?

open access: yes, 2019
In contrast to various other mammalian species, conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) with horse gametes is not reliably successful. In particular, stallion spermatozoa fail to penetrate the zona pellucida, most likely due to incomplete activation of

Targeted keratin repair: A plant‐based approach to hair strength and surface restoration

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Application of Avena strigosa seed extract may reinforce keratin bonding, restoring hair fibre integrity by promoting intramolecular interactions at damaged sites of keratin proteins. Abstract Objective Chemical and thermal stress disrupts the intramolecular and intermolecular interactions that stabilize hair keratin, leading to structural degradation ...

Prevention of fertilization by exposure of hamster eggs to soluble acrosin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
Incubation of hamster eggs with trypsin or chymotrypsin, but not with a series of glycosidases or lipases, prevents capacitated spermatozoa from binding to the zona pellucida so that fertilization is prevented (Hartmann & Gwatkin, 1971; Gwatkin ...

Role of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2 in mouse sperm capacitation

open access: yes, 2010
A tyrosine phosphoproteome study of hamster spermatozoa indicated that glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2 (GPD2), is one of the proteins that enables tyrosine phosphorylation during sperm capacitation.

Unravelling polyphenol skin permeation: A comparative study using full‐thickness 3D in vitro and ex vivo human skin models

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that full‐thickness 3D in vitro skin models reliably assess the permeation of cosmetic polyphenols, revealing compound‐specific transport profiles and bridging the gap between conventional cell models and ex vivo human skin, while offering an ethical and robust alternative for dermal absorption screening. Abstract The evaluation

Understanding the Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Local Government Decision‐Making: The Influence of Institutional Pressures and Managerial Perceptions

open access: yesPublic Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly being integrated into public sector decision‐making processes, with public managers relying on them to enhance their capabilities. As AI adoption becomes more widespread, discussions about its advantages and drawbacks intensify, alongside growing external expectations and pressures. However,
