Implantable Microarray Patch: Engineering at the Nano and Macro Scale for Sustained Therapeutic Release via Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...

Regulation of elastase and plasminogen activator secretion in resident and inflammatory macrophages by receptors for the Fc domain of immunoglobulin G. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
We have determined that the interaction of IgG-coated erythrocytes (EIgG) and complement-coated erythrocytes (EIgMC) with macrophage Fc and complement receptors, respectively, modulates the secretion of the neutral proteinases, elastase, and plasminogen ...

Microwave‐Assisted Aqueous Synthesis of Gelatin‐Norbornene for Hydrogel Crosslinking and Bioprinting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A microwave‐assisted reaction is utilized to synthesize gelatin‐norbornene (GelNB), achieving a high degree of norbornene functionalization while reducing the macromer's upper critical solution temperature. The resulting GelNB macromer has high solubility at room temperature, facilitating light‐based 3‐dimensional (3D) printing of thiol‐norbornene ...

In Vitro Tyrosinase and Collagenase Inhibitory and Antioxidant Potential of Smyrnium rotundifolium Mill. and Euphorbia virgata Waldst.&Kit. from Türkiye

open access: yesCumhuriyet Science Journal
Antioxidants help prevent signs of aging and skin tone inequalities by protecting our skin from free radicals. High tyrosinase inhibition has a whitening effect on the skin, while collagenase inhibition has an anti-sagging effect on the skin. Antioxidant

Transport of Molecular Motor Dimers in Burnt-Bridge Models

open access: yes, 2007
Dynamics of molecular motor dimers, consisting of rigidly bound particles that move along two parallel lattices and interact with underlying molecular tracks, is investigated theoretically by analyzing discrete-state stochastic continuous-time burnt ...

Collagenases and Collagen Degradation.

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982
Degradation of interstitial collagens probably takes place through different enzymatic mechanisms than degradation of basement membrane and pericellular collagens. Interstitial collagens are resorbed under pathological and physiological conditions by collagenases which function extracellularly and cleave polypeptide chains in the collagen triple helix ...

Magnetic Field Driven Microrobot Based on Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based magnetic microrobots synergize remote magnetic control with the biocompatibility of flexible hydrogels, emerging as promising tools for minimally invasive biomedicine. This enables remotely controllable, untethered navigation within complex biological microenvironments.

Expression of MMP-13 in Human Temporomandibular Joint Disc Derangement and Osteoarthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: MMP-13 performs digestion of collagen, which is a primary component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) articular disc. This study evaluated the expression of MMP-13 in patients with anterior disc displacement with (ADDwR) and without ...
