Peptide OH‐CATH30 Mitigates Cachexia‐Induced Muscle Atrophy via Modulation of TLR4‐Associated Inflammation

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cachexia, characterized by severe weight loss and muscle atrophy, frequently occurs in chronic conditions such as sepsis, cancer and chemotherapy, with limited effective treatments. Despite similar clinical manifestations, the underlying mechanisms across different disease contexts remain unclear.

Multidisciplinary Consideration of Potential Pathophysiologic Mechanisms of Paradoxical Erythema with Topical Brimonidine Therapy. [PDF]

, 2016
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease with transient and non-transient redness as key characteristics. Brimonidine is a selective α2-adrenergic receptor (AR) agonist approved for persistent facial erythema of rosacea based on significant efficacy and

Lignin Nanoparticles Containing Cobalt‐Cyanine Complexes: Potential Multifunctional Platforms for Photoacoustic Imaging and Photothermal Treatment of Bacterial Biofilms in Chronic Wounds

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
CoPc is combined with a lignin‐based material to obtain NPs sensitive to NIR irradiation and capable of ROS scavenging. Through the NPs, mild photothermal therapy can be achieved to act against bacterial biofilms. ABSTRACT Chronic wounds (CWs) are characterized by persistent inflammation and bacterial biofilms, which hinder healing and contribute to ...

Twists and Turns of Liquid Crystals Unravelled by Small‐Angle Scattering

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 3, 9 February 2026.
X‐ray scattering provides valuable insights into material structure and self‐assembly. This review discusses the use of small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (SWAXS) as well as grazing incident SWAXS for examining self‐assembled systems, especially liquid crystals.

[Cathelicidins - endogenous antimicrobial peptides].

Postepy biochemii, 2015
Within the last decade, several antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been discovered. Cathelicidins are one family of AMPs characterized by a conserved cathelin domain and a variable C-terminal cationic antimicrobial domain. These peptides are produced by different cells, including leukocytes, epithelial cells and keratinocytes.

Vitamin D and cathelicidin assessment in infection-induced asthma in Egyptian children

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2019
Introduction Vitamin D deficiency was hypothesized to increase the risk of respiratory infections and asthma exacerbation through a reduced production of cathelicidin, a multifunctional anti-microbial peptide essential for normal immune responses to ...
