Type IV collagen reduces mucin 5AC secretion in three-dimensional cultured human primary airway epithelial cells

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2019
Mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) hypersecretion induces airway narrowing in patients with asthma, which leads to breathing problems. We investigated the regulation of MUC5AC secretion by extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in human primary airway epithelial cells from

Fusogenic RNA Nanomodules for Fusion‐Mediated and Multiplexed siRNA Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A fusogenic lipid‐layered RNA nanomodules (L‐CRAMs) enable high‐capacity and long‐lasting siRNA delivery through membrane fusion. These nanomodules carry exceptionally large siRNA payloads, avoid conventional endosomal uptake, and release multiple functional siRNAs through Dicer‐mediated processing.

Postnatal development of depth-dependent collagen density in ovine articular cartilage [PDF]

, 2010
Articular cartilage (AC) is the layer of tissue that covers the articulating ends of the bones in diarthrodial joints. Adult AC is characterised by a depth-dependent composition and structure of the extracellular matrix that results in depth-dependent ...

Radiocarbon reservoir effects in human bone collagen from northern Iceland [PDF]

, 2012
Human bone collagen from a series of Icelandic human pagan graves was radiocarbon (14C) dated to aid understanding of early settlement (landnám) chronologies in northern Iceland. These individuals potentially consumed marine protein.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.
