A neutrophil-dependent pathway for the generation of a neutral peptide mediator: partial characterization of components and control by alpha-1-antitrypsin. [PDF]

, 1974
A biologically active neutral peptide mediator is cleaved from a plasma protein substrate by an alpha-1-antitrypsin-inhibitable serine protease apparently residing on the membrane of the human neutrophil. The peptide mediator has an approximate mol wt of

Recent Developments in Layer‐by‐Layer Assembly for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering Applications

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 13, Issue 8, March 25, 2024.
Layer‐by‐layer (LbL) films represent a powerful approach for surface functionalization and for the production of free‐standing objects. This article reviews recent applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering, coming closer to clinical applications.

Hi-5: A Potential High-Contrast Thermal Near-Infrared Imager for the VLTI [PDF]

, 2018
Hi-5 is a high-contrast (or high dynamic range) infrared imager project for the VLTI. Its main goal is to characterize young extra-solar planetary systems and exozodiacal dust around southern main-sequence stars.

Mid-Infrared Imaging of Habitable-Zone Exoplanets with LBTI

, 2022
In the next decades, ground-based direct imaging capabilities at mid-infrared wavelengths will be needed alongside JWST in order to image planets close to their stars – including most nearby habitable-zone planets. The ESO/Breakthrough-sponsored New Earths in the Alpha Centauri Region (NEAR) program on the VLT recently completed the first ultra-deep ...

Loss of testosterone induces postprandial insulin resistance and increases the expression of the hepatic antioxidant flavin‐containing monooxygenases in mice exposed to intermittent hypoxia

Acta Physiologica, Volume 240, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Aim We tested the hypothesis that low testosterone alters the effects of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on glucose homeostasis, hepatic oxidative stress, and transcriptomic profile in male mice. Methods We used sham‐operated or orchiectomized (ORX) mice exposed to normoxia (Nx) or IH for 2 weeks.

Histones deacetylases in the epidermis: structure, functions and therapeutic implications

Frontiers in Epigenetics and Epigenomics
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key epigenetic regulators that catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from histones and non-histone proteins, thereby modulating chromatin accessibility and gene expression.

Thermal Infrared Imaging of Protoplanetary Disks and Substellar Companions with LBTI

, 2020
The ESO/Breakthrough-sponsored New Earths in the Alpha Centauri Region (NEAR) program recently completed the first ultra-deep stare on Alpha Centauri with the upgraded VISIR-NEAR instrument. In this talk, I will describe the data reduction and scientific results of the NEAR campaign, with a focus on challenges within the existing data and how ...
