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.

Cathelicidin LL-37 and HSV-1 Corneal Infection: Peptide Versus Gene Therapy [PDF]

Translational Vision Science & Technology, 2014
To evaluate the potential utility of collagen-based corneal implants with anti-Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)-1 activity achieved through sustained release of LL-37, from incorporated nanoparticles, as compared with cell-based delivery from model human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) transfected to produce endogenous LL-37.We tested the ability of ...

A Robust Serum Proteomic Signature of the E2 Allele of Apolipoprotein E

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, 19 January 2026.
This study expands a serum protein signature of the e2 allele of APOE using multiple proteomic platforms and UK Biobank replication. The signature supports the role of APOE in lipid regulation through apolipoproteins and inflammation and includes, among others, neutrophil secreted granule proteins CAMP, CTSG, DEFA3, and MPO that point to inhibition of ...

Expression and function of cathelicidin hCAP18/LL-37 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Haematologica, 2020
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of clonal Bcellsin peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues 1. Circulating CLL cells are non-dividing Blymphocytes, but a significant fraction of the clone proliferates in lymphoid tissues wherethey receive a plethora of signals from the microenvironment that promote their survivaland

The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37 and mimics are potential anticancer drugs

Frontiers in Oncology, 2015
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a critical role in innate host defense against microbial pathogens in many organisms. The human cathelicidin LL-37 has a net positive charge and is amphiphilic, and can eliminate pathogenic microbes directly via ...

Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Intralesional MMR Vaccine and Vitamin D3 in Managing Nongenital Warts: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cutaneous warts are common benign lesions caused by human papillomavirus and often resist conventional treatments. Intralesional immunotherapy with measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) vaccine or vitamin D3 has emerged as an alternative, but their comparative efficacy and safety remain unclear.
