Low‐Temperature Fabrication of Thymosin β4‐Loaded Soluble Microneedles to Promote Wound Healing by Specific Binding to Downregulated Immune Regulators Vsig4 and IL22rɑ2

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram depicting the fabrication and application of thymosin β4 (Tβ4)‐loaded microneedle patches for wound treatment. The Tβ4 was loaded into chitosan (CS) and sucrose MNs under mild conditions (4°C, 65% relative humidity). The Tβ4 MN patch specifically binds to the downregulated immune regulators Vsig4 and IL22rα2, thereby accelerating ...

Valorization of Chicken Feather Keratin as an Eco-Friendly Coagulant for Ochre Dye Removal: A Sustainable Approach

open access: yesAlchemy
This study examines the extraction of keratin from chicken feather waste and its potential use as a coagulant in ochre dye solution treatment. The extraction procedure was investigated for the effect of some parameters, such as temperature (60 – 80 °C ...

Epiplakin deficiency aggravates murine caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis and favors the formation of acinar keratin granules.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Epiplakin, a member of the plakin protein family, is exclusively expressed in epithelial tissues and was shown to bind to keratins. Epiplakin-deficient (EPPK-/-) mice showed no obvious spontaneous phenotype, however, EPPK-/- keratinocytes displayed ...

Engineered Protein‐Based Ionic Conductors for Sustainable Energy Storage Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rational incorporation of charged residues into an engineered, self‐assembling protein scaffold yields solid‐state protein films with outstanding ionic conductivity. Salt‐doping further enhances conductivity, an effect amplified in the engineered variants. These properties enable the material integration into an efficient supercapacitor.

A Patient‐Derived Organoid Biobank of Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma as a Platform for Drug Discovery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study successfully establishes adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) patient‐derived organoids (PDOs) that preserve the histopathological and genetic features of the original tumors. Through drug sensitivity assays and subsequent mechanistic analyses, the study demonstrates that Ceritinib exerts its inhibitory effects on ACP PDO growth by ...

Epithelium‐Inspired, Ultrahigh‐Toughness, Ultralow‐Hysteresis, and Highly Compressible Polymer Hydrogels as Self‐Powered, Visual, and Underwater Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by epithelial tissue, epithelium‐like structure hydrogels are synthesized. The as‐prepared hydrogels exhibit ultrahigh toughness, ultralow hysteresis, and ultrahigh compressibility, which can be utilized as self‐powered and visual strain sensors.

Loss of the keratin cytoskeleton is not sufficient to induce epithelial mesenchymal transition in a novel KRAS driven sporadic lung cancer mouse model.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), the phenotypical change of cells from an epithelial to a mesenchymal type, is thought to be a key event in invasion and metastasis of adenocarcinomas. These changes involve loss of keratin expression as well as

Correlative Imaging Platform Linking Taste Cell Function to Molecular Identity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A correlative imaging platform is developed to study how individual taste cells respond to different taste qualities. By linking cellular activity with molecular identity and environmental context, dual‐tuned taste cells capable of detecting both sweet and umami stimuli are identified.

Fibril Structure of Desiccation‐Protective Tardigrade Protein CAHS‐8

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We present the atomic structure of the fibril formed by an intrinsically disordered protein that has been shown to be responsible for remarkable environmental stress in tardigrades. X‐ray crystallography reveals a unique mechanism of fibril assembly whereby a single helix forms a stable, antiparallel coiled‐coil dimer, which then assembles into a ...
