Cysteamine with In Vitro Antiviral Activity and Immunomodulatory Effects Has the Potential to Be a Repurposing Drug Candidate for COVID-19 Therapy

Cells, 2021
The ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), needs better treatment options both at antiviral and anti-inflammatory levels.

Cysteamine attenuates the decreases in TrkB protein levels and the anxiety/depression-like behaviors in mice induced by corticosterone treatment. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
OBJECTIVE: Stress and glucocorticoid hormones, which are released into the circulation following stressful experiences, have been shown to contribute significantly to the manifestation of anxiety-like behaviors observed in many neuropsychiatric disorders.

The effects of cysteamine on in vitro production of embryos from rare breed hanwoo (albino White and Black) ovum pick-up and slaughterhouse derived oocytes

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2016
Historically, Korea old cattle had been consisted with various lines of coat color brindle, black and white-brown breeds or more. The two rare lines of black and white coat color are maintained for animal resources and preserved critically.

Impact of Surface Functionalization on NV Quantum Properties: Implications for Biosensing with Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fluorescent nanodiamonds (fNDs) have emerged as an invaluable quantum sensing platform for biological and biochemical systems. This paper investigates the influence of common surface functionalization strategies for bioconjugation on the quantum properties of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds.

Carbon Contacts to Proteins Enable Robust, Biocompatible Electronic Junctions with Near‐Activation‐less Conduction Down to 10 K

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A robust solid‐state protein junction with a semi‐transparent eC/Au electrode allows photoexcitation of the bacterio‐rhodopsin, bR layer, to isomerize the bR retinal. The resulting photo‐response shows the protein is functional in the solid‐state junction.

Autonomous Spatiotemporal Regulation of Reversible Hydrogel Actuators by Chemical Reaction Networks

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrogel actuators with reversible response to thiols are developed using reversible binding of thiols to Michael acceptors. Autonomous spatiotemporal regulation of reversible movement of these hydrogels is achieved using thiol‐based chemical reaction networks containing both positive and negative feedback.

Evaluation of NACA and diNACA in human cystinosis fibroblast cell cultures as potential treatments for cystinosis

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Mutations in the CTNS gene disable a membrane protein responsible for the transport of cystine out of the lysosome.

Efficacy and safety of cysteamine-isobionicamide complex in postinflammatory hyperpigmentation: A 16-week, randomized, double-blinded, vehicle-controlled trial

Dermatologica Sinica, 2023
Background: Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a prevalent acquired hyperpigmentation disorder with significant psychosocial implications. Cysteamine has demonstrated notable efficacy and safety in treating hyperpigmentation disorders.

The specificity of cysteamine oxygenase

FEBS Letters, 1975
Oxidation of cysteamine to hypotaurine is catalyzed by cysteamine oxygenase (EC 1.13.11.19), a non-heme iron enzyme of large distribution [l-3] . A similar oxidation of cysteine to cysteine sulfinic acid has been reported to require a different oxygenase [4,.5]. Specificity of cysteamine oxygenase has been studied earlier in this laboratory by assaying
