Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...

Noncanonical Peloruside A Biosynthesis by an Uncultivated Verrucomicrobiota Symbiont

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Noncanonical biochemistry of the peloruside PKS characterized in this work, comprising double bond generation by a noncanonical tridomain (blue), acetyl‐CoA recycling (orange), and proofreading systems (purple and yellow). The Z‐double bond is installed by TEB1 through O‐acetylation and acetate elimination. The acyl ligase PelB (AL, orange) selectively

What lies on macroalgal surface: diversity of polysaccharide degraders in culturable epiphytic bacteria

AMB Express, 2022
Keypoints Macroalgae are source of bacterial polysaccharidases for blue biotechnologies. Amilases, pectinases, alginate lyases and agarases were widespread among isolates. Hydrolytic profile correlates to strain phylogeny, host species, isolation medium.

Extrusion Bioprinting for Wound Healing: Innovations in Functionalized Bioinks and Bioprinting Technology

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Extrusion‐based bioprinting (EBB) has emerged as a versatile biofabrication platform capable of precisely depositing bioinks composed of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive agents to generate patient‐specific, biomimetic skin constructs. This paper presents a state‐of‐the‐art and forward‐looking overview of EBB for wound healing, encompassing printing ...

Metal Oxides Catalyze Formation of Dehydroamino Acids by Phosphate β‐Elimination Under Physiological Conditions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Dehydroamino acids (DHAA) are atypical electrophilic sites that lead to crosslinked proteins in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. No catalyst for their formation has been known in humans. We report that metal oxides catalyze β‐elimination of phosphoserine and phosphothreonine in model peptides at pH 7.5°C and 37°C, yielding DHAAs.

Functional Characterization of Carbohydrate-Binding Modules in a New Alginate Lyase, TsAly7B, from Thalassomonas sp. LD5

Marine Drugs, 2019
Alginate lyases degrade alginate into oligosaccharides, of which the biological activities have vital roles in various fields. Some alginate lyases contain one or more carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), which assist the function of the catalytic ...

Characterization of pectin lyases on pectins and methyl oligogalacturonates [PDF]

, 1972
Pure saturated and unsaturated oligogalacturonic acids, including unsaturated monogalacturonic acid, were isolated and characterized. Their ultraviolet absorbance at 232 run, and their reactivities in the periodate thiobarbituric acid test and carbazole ...

Encapsulated Leptin‐Producing Cells Facilitate Entrainment of Circadian Rhythms in Rodents and Nonhuman Primates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A clinically translatable cell line can be engineered to produce leptin, encapsulated in biomaterial and safely implanted to produce and deliver the metabolic regulating protein within the body. Implantation of these encapsulated cells decreases the time it takes for mice and non‐human primates to adjust to circadian disruptions similar to those ...

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...
