Human Skin Models in Biophotonics: Materials, Methods, and Applications
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review discusses how the optical properties of human skin can be replicated in human skin models. It describes the principles, materials, and techniques used to develop artificial skin for biophotonics research. Finally, the article highlights recent advances and shows how these models improve the study of light‐skin interactions without the need ...

Fossilized skin reveals coevolution with feathers and metabolism in feathered dinosaurs and early birds [PDF]
, 2018 Feathers are remarkable evolutionary innovations that are associated with complex adaptations of the skin in modern birds. Fossilised feathers in non-avian dinosaurs and basal birds provide insights into feather evolution, but how associated ...

De Novo Design of Integrin α5β1 Modulating Proteins to Enhance Biomaterial Properties
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.NeoNectins are de novo‐designed miniproteins that selectively bind and stabilize the extended open form of integrin α5β1. When grafted onto biomaterials including hydrogel and titanium, they promote cell attachment and spreading in vitro and promoting tissue integration and bone growth in animal models, demonstrating broad potential for regenerative ...

Keratins and the keratinocyte activation cycle.
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2001 In wound healing and many pathologic conditions, keratinocytes become activated: they turn into migratory, hyperproliferative cells that produce and secrete extracellular matrix components and signaling polypeptides.
