Isoform Specificity of a Compound Targeting Actin Filaments Containing Tropomyosin Tpm1.8/1.9
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The unbranched actin filaments in mammalian cells are usually composed of co‐polymers of a specific tropomyosin isoform with actin. Genetic manipulation has revealed that the tropomyosins largely define the functional properties of actin filaments in an isoform‐specific, non‐redundant manner.

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), primarily Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract and an important risk factor for IBD‐associated cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and immune microenvironment remodeling

Managing Ulcerative Colitis – The Guidelines and Beyond
, 2013 Management guidelines offer clinicians clear, evidence-based and often succinct treatment advice. For ulcerative colitis these guidelines describe the use of 5-ASA, corticosteroids, thiopurines, cyclosporine, and anti-TNFα therapies.

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.A novel graphene‐based broad‐spectrum infrared (BSIR) device is developed for the noninvasive treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). BSIR irradiation effectively alleviates colonic inflammation and accelerates mucosal recovery by inducing the systemic relocation of T lymphocytes to the spleen.

Gut‐microbiota‐brain Axis and post‐traumatic epilepsy
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract There has been growing evidence that perturbations in gut‐microbiota‐brain axis (GMBA) are involved in mechanisms of chronic sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This review discusses the connection between GMBA and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE), the latter being a common outcome of TBI.

Hydrogel Adhesives for Gastrointestinal Perforation: Design Principles and Applications
Exploration, EarlyView.There are few reviews on hydrogel adhesives that comprehensively highlight the design principles, factors affecting adhesion, and applications for gastrointestinal (GI) perforation repair. This review outlines the mainstream design approaches of hydrogel adhesives via covalent and noncovalent molecular interactions, illustrating the underlying adhesive

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...
