Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Co‐Electrospinning Extracellular Matrix with Polycaprolactone Enables a Modular Approach to Balance Bioactivity and Mechanics of a Multifunctional Bone Wrap

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The incorporation of nondigested ECM and synthetic polymers into a co‐electrospinning system enables the decoupling of bioactivity and mechanical properties within a single wrap. This technique is used to develop a multifunctional bone wrap that achieves augmented membrane durability, sustained infection control, and enhanced vascularity for use in ...

Novel Amylin Analogues Reduce Amyloid-β Cross-Seeding Aggregation and Neurotoxicity

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2022
Background: Type 2 diabetes related human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) plays a dual role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). hIAPP has neuroprotective effects in AD mouse models whereas, high hIAPP concentrations can promote co-aggregation with amyloid-β (Aβ) to promote neurodegeneration.

Fundamentals of cross-seeding of amyloid proteins: an introduction

Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 2019
Misfolded protein aggregates formed by the same (homologous) or different (heterologous/cross) sequences are the pathological hallmarks of many protein misfolding diseases (PMDs) including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Oligomer Formation and Cross‐Seeding: The New Frontier

Israel Journal of Chemistry, 2016
AbstractThe accumulation of protein aggregates in the brain is a defining feature of a number of neurodegenerative diseases. Though diseases vary in the composition of aggregated proteins (amyloid‐β and tau are primarily implicated in Alzheimer's disease, α‐synuclein is the primary protein aggregate in Parkinson's disease, etc.), similarities in the ...

Cross-Seeding with Homologous Sequences Alters Amyloid Aggregation Kinetics and Fibril Structure

ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2022
Protein aggregation through homotypic interactions is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, heterotypic amyloid interactions through cross-seeding were found to modify protein aggregation and are reported in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients.
