Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Molecular dynamics simulations of positively selected codons in FcγRI reveal novel biochemical binding properties

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Evolutionary analysis across 32 placental mammals identified positive selection at residues H148 and W149 in the immune receptor FcγR1. Ancestral reconstruction combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveals how these mutations may influence receptor structure and dynamics, providing insight into the evolution of antibody recognition and immune ...

Cutaneous Melanoma Drives Metabolic Changes in the Aged Bone Marrow Immune Microenvironment

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, increasingly affects older adults. Our study reveals that melanoma induces changes in iron and lipid levels in the bone marrow, impacting immune cell populations and increasing susceptibility to ferroptosis.

Natural Products as Geroprotective Modulators in Diabetic Nephropathy: A Mechanistic Framework Integrating Aging Hallmarks and the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 Axis

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Natural products target the aging kidney in diabetic nephropathy by restoring the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 axis, reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular senescence while enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defenses.

Plant leaves icephobicity

Journal of Coatings Technology and Research, 2017
Ice adhesion and accumulation are well known to cause serious problems for different structures such as wind turbines, power transmission and distribution systems, and aircraft. Development of coatings that can resist icing can solve many challenges in various areas of industry.

From plant physiology to pharmacology: fusicoccin leaves the leaves

Planta, 2018
This review highlights 50 years of research on the fungal diterpene fusicoccin, during which the molecule went from a tool in plant physiology research to a pharmacological agent in treating animal diseases. Fusicoccin is a phytotoxic glycosylated diterpene produced by the fungus Phomopsis amygdali, a pathogen of almond and peach plants.

Rendering plant leaves faithfully

ACM SIGGRAPH 2003 Sketches & Applications, 2003
The light passes through these cells into the spongy layer of the leaf. The elliptical cells, which are interspersed with intercellular air spaces, cause internal scattering of the incident radiation and thereby distribute the light within the leaf. This process is important for an optimal absorption of the light by the leaf’s mesophyll.

Plant biology: How the humble plant droops its leaves

Current Biology, 2023
The humble plant (Mimosa pudica) droops its leaves in response to touch. A new study explains how changes of turgor pressure exerted by protoplasts on surrounding cell walls translate into directional cell deformation that drives leaf movement.

Atmospheric Ammonia: Absorption by Plant Leaves

Science, 1972
By monitoring the disappearance of ammonia from an airstream flowing through a small growth chamber containing a single plant seedling, it was discovered that plant leaves absorb significant quantities of ammonia from the air, even at naturally occurring low atmospheric concentrations.

Fluorescence emission spectra of plant leaves and plant constituents

Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 1991
The UV-B radiation (e.g. 337 nm) induced blue fluorescence (BF) and red chlorophyll fluorescence spectra (RF) of green leaves from plants with different leaf structure were determined and the possible nature and candidates of the blue fluorescence emission investigated.
