Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) treatment improves skin wound healing in a porcine model
Proteoglycan 4 (PRG4) is commonly found in synovial fluid of the articular joint and serves as a boundary lubricant of articular cartilage. Interestingly, we show that human recombinant proteoglycan 4 (rhPRG4) improves healing of porcine full‐thickness skin injuries. rhPRG4 treatment decreases fibrosis, increases vascularization, and retains adipocytes

Although islet transplantation has the potential to serve as a curative treatment for type 1 diabetes, there are many hurdles to achieving long‐term islet graft survival. This review discusses the recent advances in strategies to improve islet survival function using exogenous compounds and conformal coatings as a promising tool for improving islet ...

A membrane receptor for insulin on cultured human keratinocyte monolayers has recently been reported. It has also been established by previous investigators that the receptors for insulin and the somatomedin peptide, insulin-like growth factor-I/somatomedin-C (IGF-I), have similar oligomeric composition.
