Key Trends and Insights in Smart Polymeric Skin Wearable Patches

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Intelligent polymers, which respond to various physical and biological stimuli, are explored for the development of skin wearable patches in biomedical applications. Smart polymers, also known as intelligent or stimuli‐responsive polymers, play a crucial role in the development of advanced wearable patches due to their versatility and softness.

Identification of Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I in the Hepatocytes of Hypercholesterolemic Rats

Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2001
Abstract The levels of plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) are inversely related to the incidence of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. This protective effect of HDL is thought to be involved in the reverse transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissue to the liver. The scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI) is the first

THE ROLE OF SCAVENGER RECEPTOR CLASS B TYPE I-REGULATED INDUCIBLE GLUCOCORTICOIDS IN SEPSIS [PDF]

, 2014
Sepsis claims over 215,000 lives in the US annually. Inducible glucocorticoids (iGC) is produced during sepsis. However, the precise effects of iGC in sepsis remain unclear due to a lack of appropriate animal models.

Making Photoresponsive Metal–Organic Frameworks an Effective Class of Heterogeneous Photocatalyst

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes photoresponsive MOFs for photocatalytic applications, focusing on their capacity to enhance light harvesting, charge transfer, and surface reactions. While existing studies provide foundational insights, emerging characterization techniques enable a deeper understanding of photoresponsive MOFs.

The therapeutic potential of the filarial nematode-derived immunodulator, ES-62 in inflammatory disease [PDF]

, 2010
The dramatic recent rise in the incidence of allergic or autoimmune inflammatory diseases in the West has been proposed to reflect the lack of appropriate priming of the immune response by infectious agents such as parasitic worms during childhood ...

Engineered Peptides‐Based Hybrid‐Nested Microneedle Effectively Treat Biofilm‐Infected Diabetic Wounds

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid‐nested microneedle/cryogel scaffold (MQW‐CMg‐MOF) is designed for efficient biofilm removal and accelerated healing of diabetic wounds. The scaffold shows substantial biofilm removal in vitro and in a preclinical diabetic swine biofilm‐infected wound model compared to the control.

Disruption of the Murine Lecithin:Cholesterol Acyltransferase Gene Causes Impairment of Adrenal Lipid Delivery and Up-regulation of Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is the major determinant of the cholesteryl ester (CE) content of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in plasma. The selective uptake of HDL-CE is postulated to participate in delivery of tissue-derived cholesterol ...
