Protein disulphide isomerase-assisted functionalization of proteinaceous substrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) is an enzyme that catalyzes thiol-disulphide exchange reactions among a broad spectrum of substrates, including proteins and low-molecular thiols and disulphides.

Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Doehl et al. discovered an adaptive neuroimmune mechanism that induces itch in tick‐exposed guinea pigs, enabling rapid tick removal. This itch‐induced tick removal (IITR) is mediated by an adaptive cellular immune response and is independent of IgG, IgE, or TRPV1.

Advances in polymeric nano-delivery systems targeting hair follicles for the treatment of acne

open access: yesDrug Delivery
Acne is a common chronic inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous gland in the hair follicle. Commonly used external medications cause skin irritation, and the transdermal capacity is weak, making it difficult to penetrate the cuticle skin barrier.

Bacteria Display Differential Growth and Adhesion Characteristics on Human Hair Shafts

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Apart from the skin surface, hair represents a significant tissue component with a capacity of bacterial interactions. New information can be obtained about hair function through the characterization of bacterial adherence, colonization, and responses to

Deformation Driven Suction Cups: A Mechanics‐Based Approach to Wearable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Deformation‐driven suction cups enable robust, reversible adhesion of wearable electronics to human skin spanning wide mechanical compliance, without adhesives or tight straps. By integrating mechanics modeling, experiments, and contact mechanics theory, this work reveals how cup geometry, substrate compliance, and interfacial adhesion govern suction ...

CDC42 and Rac1 control different actin-dependent processes in the Drosophila wing disc epithelium. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Cdc42 and Rac1 are members of the rho family of small guanosinetriphosphatases and are required for a diverse set of cytoskeleton-membrane interactions in different cell types.

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Cyto-Morphological Particularities of Hair Cuticle in Domestic and Wild Suidae

open access: yesBulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2014
Microscopic examination of hair fiber presents interest especially in animal breeding, in veterinary and human forensic medicine, in cosmetology, hunting biology etc. In veterinary medicine, there is a situation when the microscopic study of hair fibers’ structure became a necessary complementary examination beside the expertise to establish the ...

Cockroach‐Derived Leucokinin VIII Peptide Accelerates Diabetic Skin Wound Healing by Enhancing Keratinocyte Filopodia Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the cockroach‐derived peptide leucokinin VIII as a potent accelerator of diabetic wound healing. By activating the FAK‐ACTG1 axis, the peptide drives keratinocyte migration and filopodia formation. Delivered via a developed PLGA‐PEG‐PLGA thermosensitive hydrogel for sustained release, this approach significantly hastens wound ...
