Preoperative Skin Conditioning: Extracellular Matrix Clearance and Skin Bed Preparation, A New Paradigm. [PDF]
, 2019 This paper introduces the concept of "skin bed preparation" prior to surgical procedures. Following the theory of chronic wound bed preparation and adapting the skin model to one of chronic wound changes related to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, a ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Aortic dissection (AD) is accompanied by a decrease in CCDC80 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). CCDC80 can interact with JAK2, and VSMC‐specific CCDC80 deficiency accelerates the progression of AD by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway involved in regulating the phenotype switching and function of VSMCs.

Nature, 1960 THE present report describes the conversion of insoluble aorta elastin to a gel. Wood1 recently described the preparation of an elastin gel from a soluble protein derived from cattle ligamentum nuchae. These observations may have some bearing on the relationship between collagen and elastin2–5.

Electrochemical‐Genetic Programming of Protein‐Based Magnetic Soft Robots for Active Drug Delivery
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This manuscript presents a protein‐based soft robot for active drug delivery. Stimuli‐responsive protein is rationally designed and processed into the substrate of robots. Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles are patterned on the substrate using an electrochemical method, enabling the robot to respond to external physical fields.
