Chitin Synthase Is Critical for Epidermal Chitin Deposition and Molting in the Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus

Fishes
Chitin synthase (CHS) catalyzes the final polymerization step in chitin biosynthesis and is therefore central to cuticle formation in arthropods. In this study, a chitin synthase gene from the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus (PtCHS) was identified

Chitin colonization, chitin degradation and chitin-induced natural competence of Vibrio cholerae are subject to catabolite repression

Although Vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen its primary habitat are aquatic environments. In this environment, V. cholerae takes advantage of the abundance of zooplankton, whose chitinous exoskeletons provide a nutritious surface.

Hydrogel‐based drug delivery systems for intracerebral hemorrhage with therapeutic advances and emerging roles of the bone–brain axis

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based drug delivery systems offer a promising approach for treating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by overcoming blood‐brain barrier limitations, enabling precise, sustained release of neuroprotective and anti‐inflammatory agents. These systems enhance treatment efficacy, but challenges remain in biosafety, drug penetration, and scalability ...
