PRED-CLASS: cascading neural networks for generalized protein classification and genome-wide applications

open access: yes, 2001
A cascading system of hierarchical, artificial neural networks (named PRED-CLASS) is presented for the generalized classification of proteins into four distinct classes-transmembrane, fibrous, globular, and mixed-from information solely encoded in their ...

Local Visible‐Photocatalytic Production of Hydrogen and Warm Heat for Combination Treatment of Pressure Ulcer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel concept of visible‐photocatalytic hydrogen/warm heat production is proposed for combination treatment of pressure ulcer (PU), and develop a new kind of palladium nanodots‐deposited hydrogen‐doped titanium dioxide nanorods encapsulating hydorgel dressing to receive a high outcome of PU treatment by hydrogen/warm heat synergistically improving ...

Keratinases: emerging trends in production and applications as novel multifunctional biocatalysts

open access: yesKuwait Journal of Science, 2016
Keratinases are proteolytic enzymes capable of degrading rigid and insoluble keratinous proteins present in skinand appendages. They are produced in the keratinous substrates such as feather, hair, wool, nail, horn and hoof bymicroorganisms.

Orofacial Epidermoid Cysts: A Case Series

open access: yesClinical Case Reports
Epidermoid cysts can occur anywhere in the body but are uncommon in the orofacial region, with a 7% incidence in the head and neck and 1.6% in the oral cavity.

The New Keratin Nomenclature [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2006
When the first nomenclature of the keratin protein family was published over 20 years ago, only 19 keratins were thought to exist. Sequencing of the human genome has now revealed that there are 54 keratin genes. As a consequence, the nomenclature needed revision to apply a logical numbering system that includes the more recently identified keratins of ...

Monoallelic Mutations in the Translation Initiation Codon of KLHL24 Cause Skin Fragility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The genetic basis of epidermolysis bullosa, a group of genetic disorders characterized by the mechanically induced formation of skin blisters, is largely known, but a number of cases still remain genetically unsolved.

Acidosis Forces Fatty Acid Uptake and Metabolism in Cancer Cells Regardless of Genotype

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that biological acidosis, commonly observed in tumors and ischemic conditions, actively promotes the protonation of fatty acids, thereby facilitating the uptake of their neutral forms. Consequently, the preference for lipid metabolism in acid‐exposed cells does not arise from genetic reprogramming that prioritizes lipids as the ...

Evolutionary origin of Hoxc13-dependent skin appendages in amphibians

open access: yesNature Communications
Cornified skin appendages, such as hair and nails, are major evolutionary innovations of terrestrial vertebrates. Human hair and nails consist largely of special intermediate filament proteins, known as hair keratins, which are expressed under the ...

A human keratin 10 knockout causes recessive epidermolytic hyperkeratosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is a blistering skin disease inherited as an autosomal-dominant trait. The disease is caused by genetic defects of the epidermal keratin K1 or K10, leading to an impaired tonofilament network of differentiating ...

Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP2 Controls Spindle Formation via HSC70‐Mediated Stabilization of CLTC During Oocyte meiosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that has different regulation and mechanisms with mitosis in numerous aspects. Particularly, meiosis I is unique and occurs only in germ cells to separate homologous chromosomes. Thus, determining how this unusual chromosome segregation behavior is established is central to understanding germ cell ...
