Noninvasive monitoring of plant-based formulations on skin barrier properties in infants with dry skin and risk for atopic dermatitis

International Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2018
Background: Dry skin and the associated impaired epidermal barrier function are postulated to constitute a major element in the development of atopic dermatitis.

Early‐life high‐fat diet exposure increases Achilles tendon stiffness and induces transcriptomic alterations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Early‐life exposure to a high‐fat diet altered intact Achilles tendons in rat offspring, making them thinner, stiffer, and molecularly distinct even without injury. These findings suggest that developmental high‐fat diet exposure may impair tendon quality and increase susceptibility to mechanical overload or tendon injury later in life.

The Secrets of Beautiful Hair: Why is it Flexible and Elastic?

Cosmetics, 2019
Beautiful hair, so called “SHINAYAKA” hair in Japanese, has a good appearance not only when stationary but also when in motion, and it is a highly desirable hair condition for Japanese consumers. We investigated such SHINAYAKA hair, which was

One size does not fit all: An in vitro evaluation of the effects of bezafibrate and medroxyprogesterone acetate on human SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Drugs previously repurposed to target blood cancers reduced neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell growth and viability. However, their levels of anticancer activity were different and their clinical application may be problematic due to side effects at effective doses.

The social context in bark beetle – fungus bioassays: a case study in European fir engraver bark beetles and their fungal associates

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundCertain species of bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are among the most aggressive herbivorous forest insects due to their mass aggregation behavior and symbiosis with filamentous fungi.

Transcripts enriched in codons that trigger P‐site tRNA‐mediated mRNA decay possess stable mRNA

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
PTMD codons were first described by Mendel et al. as mediators of an mRNA decay pathway dependent on the human protein CNOT3, homologous to yeast Not5. Our findings confirm that PTMD codons destabilize transcripts; however, unlike in yeast, the human pathway specifically targets and slightly destabilizes primarily stable mRNAs.

Effect of terahertz irradiation on DNA damage repair in living cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the effect of terahertz (THz) wave irradiation on DNA double‐strand break (DSB) repair in living cells. We found that THz irradiation enhanced DSB repair at specific frequencies, whereas heat treatment inhibited it, indicating that this effect is nonthermal and frequency‐specific.

Adipose Tissue‐Derived Exosomes in the Treatment of Lichen Planopilaris: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports
Adipose‐derived exosomes may offer a novel therapeutic approach for lichen planopilaris (LPP) unresponsive to standard treatments, with preliminary evidence suggesting potential benefits in symptom control and hair preservation.

Next-Gen orientation: supporting international students with generative AI NPCs in VR

Frontiers in Computer Science
Educational Virtual Reality (VR) provides immersive learning environments, yet most contemporary applications rely on pre-scripted Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that offer limited personalization and rigid interaction paths.
