Retinol-binding protein is synthesized in the mammalian eye
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1988 As the chromophoric component of the visual pigment, retinol plays an essential role in vision. In the plasma, retinol is transported by retinol-binding protein (RBP) in complex with transthyretin (TTR, prealbumin). In previous work we demonstrated intraocular synthesis of TTR.

The Beneficial Role of Retinoids in Glomerular Disease
Frontiers 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 ...

Platelet‐Rich Fibrins as Local Drug‐Delivery Carriers
Journal 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 ...

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.This study evaluated the photodegradation of commercial insect repellents containing DEET and IR‐3535 under UV‐A and UV‐B irradiation using Raman spectroscopy. Pure DEET and IR‐3535 showed intrinsic photostability, whereas DEET diluted in ethanol and a commercial DEET‐based formulation exhibited significant spectral changes after UV exposure.
