International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.Cannabis sativa root‐derived extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles (CA‐NPs) were isolated from adventitious root cultures and subjected to physicochemical characterization. Upon UVB exposure, keratinocytes exhibited increased ROS generation, apoptosis and MAPK activation, leading to oxidative stress and skin damage.

Inhibition of hyaluronan synthesis reduces versican and fibronectin levels in trabecular meshwork cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Hyaluronan (HA) is a major component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and is synthesized by three HA synthases (HAS). Similarities between the HAS2 knockout mouse and the hdf mutant mouse, which has a mutation in the versican gene, suggest that HA and ...

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives To identify molecular mechanisms distinguishing the erosive subtype of oral lichen planus (EOLP) from the non‐erosive subtype (NEOLP) through transcriptomic analysis. Methods We analysed bulk RNA‐seq data from 30 buccal mucosa samples (13 EOLP, 17 NEOLP) using differential expression, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA ...

Understanding exosomes in facial esthetics and skin aging
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Skin aging is a multifactorial process mediated by intrinsic (genetic and metabolic) and extrinsic (environmental) factors leading to functional and structural deterioration, including wrinkles, loss of collagen and elastin, as well as various pigmentation disorders.

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7044-7055, September 2026.Abstract Background High‐intensity ultrasound is widely advocated for the preservation of liquid foods; however, the potential formation or release of toxic compounds during processing remains under‐investigated. This study evaluated the toxicological profile of cashew apple juice processed by high‐intensity ultrasound (1250, 1875, and 2500 W;L⁻¹ ...

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

Nanotherapy in Joints: Increasing Endogenous Hyaluronan Production by Delivering Hyaluronan Synthase 2 [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2019 AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint degenerative disease that causes pain, joint damage, and dysfunction. External hyaluronic acid (HA) supplement is a common method for the management of osteoarthritis which requires multi‐injections. It is demonstrated that biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles successfully deliver an enzyme ...

Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in Health and Disease
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are dynamic regulators of tissue homeostasis and disease remodeling. In the healthy state, LECs coordinate interstitial fluid drainage, intestinal lipid transport, and immune trafficking and tolerance. Across disease settings, however, these same programs become maladaptively reprogrammed, contributing to barrier ...

Expression of hyaluronan synthases in articular cartilage
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2000 To investigate the mRNA expression profiles of three mammalian hyaluronan synthases (HAS1, HAS2 and HAS3) in chondrocytes from normal (undiseased) animal cartilage and osteoarthritic human cartilage maintained in experimental culture systems and exposed to catabolic or anabolic stimuli provided by cytokines, growth factors and retinoic acid ...
