Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

5α-Reductase Activity in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells from Beard Compared with Reticular Dermal Fibroblasts [PDF]
The activity of 5α -reductase was assessed in cultured human beard dermal papilla cells and reticular dermal fibroblasts to elucidate the mechanism of androgen action in promoting the growth of beards in men. The monolayer was incubated with 50nM of [1,2-

Homogeneous Inflammatory Gene Profiles Induced in Human Dermal Fibroblasts in Response to the Three Main Species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. [PDF]
In Lyme borreliosis, the skin is the key site for bacterial inoculation by the infected tick and for cutaneous manifestations. We previously showed that different strains of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto isolated from tick and from different ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

The Effect of PRF on Serum Starved Human Dermal Fibroblast [PDF]
ABSTRACTHealing failure on chronic ulcers was suspected due to the decrease of Growth Factors (GFs) supply caused by either GFs trapped in the fibrin, or degraded by protease, or decreased level due to reduction of GFs gene expression. Administration of various GFs can stimulate healing of chronic ulcers.

Hair follicle dermal cells: a morphological, behavioural and molecular study [PDF]
Anatomy and smooth muscle a-actin expression in hair follicles from a variety of animal species (Mink, Polecat, Meerkat, Grey squirrel and stoat) was investigated. Smooth muscle ɑ-actin expression was related to follicle activity. Expression was greatest

Magnetic gelatin-hesperidin microrobots promote proliferation and migration of dermal fibroblasts
Dermal fibroblasts play a crucial role in the formation of granulation tissue in skin wounds. Consequently, the differentiation, migration, and proliferation of dermal fibroblasts are considered key factors in the skin wound healing process.

The microbiome in human skin aging
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

The Effect of Photomodulation in Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Skin is exposed to sunlight or artificial indoor light on a daily. The reached solar light on the earth surface consist of 50% visible light and 45% infrared (IR) except for ultra violet (UV). The negative effects of UV including UVB and UVA have been steadily investigated within the last decades.

Predicting age from the transcriptome of human dermal fibroblasts [PDF]
Biomarkers of aging can be used to assess the health of individuals and to study aging and age-related diseases. We generate a large dataset of genome-wide RNA-seq profiles of human dermal fibroblasts from 133 people aged 1 to 94 years old to test whether signatures of aging are encoded within the transcriptome.
