Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Characterization of an Injectable Poly(vinyl alcohol)‐gelatin Hydrogel for Growth Factor Delivery in an Orthopedic Application

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces photo‐crosslinkable tyraminated poly(vinyl alcohol)‐gelatin (PVA‐GT) hydrogels as tunable injectable platforms for tissue engineering and growth factor delivery applications. This schematic illustrates the two developed hydrogel formulations and the experimental workflow used to evaluate their physico‐chemical properties in vitro ...

Double trouble: A unique case of TRUS biopsy induced left upper moiety infection of a duplicated ectopic ureter

Urology Case Reports, 2019
Duplex collecting systems are seen in 0.7% of the population and its association with an ectopic ureter (specifically in the ejaculatory duct) is even less common.

Effects of biomechanical forces on signaling in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) [PDF]

, 2014
An increase in tubular fluid flow rate (TFF) stimulates Na reabsorption and K secretion in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) and subjects cells therein to biomechanical forces including fluid shear stress (FSS) and circumferential stretch (CS ...

Metabolic support of collecting duct transport

Kidney International, 1998
The present studies address the metabolic processes that support the reabsorption of sodium and the secretion of bicarbonate in the interspersed but distinct principal and intercalated cells of the cortical collecting duct (CCD). In microperfused rabbit CCD, sodium reabsorption was measured by lumen-to-bath 22Na flux, and bicarbonate transport was ...

Function of Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily V Member 4 (TRPV4) as a Mechanical Transducer in Flow-sensitive Segments of Renal Collecting Duct System*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2012
Background: TRPV4 is a Ca2+-permeable channel that is expressed in a wide range of cells and tissues. Results: TRPV4 is expressed in renal connecting tubule/collecting duct cells and is activated by fluid flow.
