Bakuchiol: From structural mimicry to systems‐level skin biology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Convergent outcomes, divergent mechanisms: bakuchiol vs. retinol. Bakuchiol exhibits functional convergence with retinol in improving extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal differentiation and barrier function, while operating through distinct mechanisms.

The Beneficial Role of Retinoids in Glomerular Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2015
The primary etiology of CKD is a direct consequence of initial dysfunction and injury of the glomerulus, the main filtration system. Podocytes are terminally differentiated epithelial cells in the glomerulus, whose major function is the maintenance of ...

Common epitopes of serum retinol-binding proteins: a study with monoclonal antibodies

open access: yes, 1990
Monoclonal antibodies were raised against purified chicken retinol-binding protein. These were characterised extensively with respect to their ability to recognize retinol-binding proteins from different species.

Platelet‐Rich Fibrins as Local Drug‐Delivery Carriers

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), particularly platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), act as biologically active fibrin scaffolds, capable of entrapping and gradually releasing therapeutic agents in oral and periodontal therapy. The incorporation of bioactive compounds, such as antibiotics, antifungals, vitamins, antidiabetic drugs, and exosomes, enhances ...

Serum Amyloid A is a Retinol Binding Protein that Transports Retinol during Bacterial Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Retinol plays a vital role in the immune response to infection, however it remains unclear which proteins mediate retinol transport during infection. Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are produced by the liver following acute systemic infection and are ...
