Programmable Semi‐Interpenetrating Living Materials With Robust Stability for Versatile Bioremediation and Biotherapeutics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A semi‐interpenetrating engineered living material (sIHSELM), fabricated via thermosensitive hydroxybutyl chitosan and covalent protein self‐assembly, demonstrates exceptional mechanical properties and environmental stability. Shielding bacteria from harsh conditions, sIHSELM exhibits remarkable efficacy in ulcerative colitis treatment and pollutants ...

Elastases and Elastin Degradation.

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982
The metabolic turnover of mature elastin fibers in adult animals is relatively slow. Although only small amounts of elastin are degraded normally, increased degradation and fragmentation of elastic fibers may play a significant role in disease processes. Elastinolytic enzymes are found in microorganisms, snake venoms, and in a number of mammalian cells

Asymmetry in Hydrophobicity Induces Electric Potential in Non‐Charged Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
 Non‐charged biomolecular condensates can encode electric potential gradient through defining asymmetry in environmental hydrophobicity. ABSTRACT The capacity of biomolecular condensates to establish and modulate electrochemical equilibria is emerging as an important functioning mechanism in cellular biochemistry.

A Conformal Wearable Ultrasound Bioelectronics for Mechanotherapy Reprogramming of Fibroblast Plasticity via Wnt‐FGF10 Axis to Overcome Fibrotic Healing in Urethral Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibrotic scarring persistently challenges urethral reconstruction. This study introduces a conformal, wearable ultrasound bioelectronic system that overcomes this by reprogramming fibroblast fate. The device activates a developmental Wnt–FGF10 axis, driving fibroblasts toward a regenerative FGF10+ phenotype that promotes angiogenesis and matrix ...

Role of elastin anisotropy in structural strain energy functions of arterial tissue [PDF]

, 2018
The vascular wall exhibits nonlinear anisotropic mechanical properties. The identification of a strain energy function (SEF) is the preferred method to describe its complex nonlinear elastic properties. Earlier constituent-based SEF models, where elastin

The Voice of Cantú: Lower Voice Pitch Is a New Phenotypic Feature of Cantú Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cantú syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic condition caused by pathogenic variants in either ABCC9 or KCNJ8, leading to gain‐of‐function of KATP‐channels. The main clinical features are hypertrichosis and cardiovascular abnormalities. This study investigates the voice characteristics in individuals with CS, an aspect that has received little ...

Gorab deficiency in skin dermis accelerates aging and is associated with dysregulation of RCHY1‐mediated P53 ubiquitination

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Based on a dermis fibroblast Gorab knockout mouse model, this study revealed that Gorab deficiency promotes skin aging by influencing RCHY1, causing a decrease in P53 ubiquitination, damaging the activity of HDAC2, further resulting in the accumulation of aging‐related proteins (P53, P21, P16) and a reduction in extracellular matrix (ECM) components ...

Lysyl Oxidase Reduces Neutrophil Extravasation in Response to P. aeruginosa in an Infection‐on‐a‐Chip Model

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Lysyl oxidase crosslinking of type I collagen decreases neutrophil extravasation through an endothelium during the initial response to P. aeruginosa. This decrease in extravasation is likely due to the increase in VE‐cadherin expression between endothelial cells seeded on LOX‐crosslinked collagen hydrogels.
