Failure Analysis of PHILOS Plate Construct Used for Pantalar Arthrodesis Paper I—Analysis of the Plate

open access: yesMetals, 2018
The failure of a proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) used in a pantalar arthrodesis was investigated in this paper. PHILOS constructs are hybrids using locking and non-locking screws.

HSP70 governs permeability and mechanotransduction in primary human endothelial cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HSP70 chemical inhibition reduces endothelial cell proliferation and increases permeability, the latter supported by normal interendothelial junctional protein distribution. HSP70 also plays a role in shear stress response, a hemodynamic force naturally present in blood vessels and correlated with vessel protection.

Detection of Nocturnal Scratching Movements in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis Using Accelerometers and Recurrent Neural Networks

open access: yesIEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics, 2018
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting both children and adults and is associated with pruritus. A method for objectively quantifying nocturnal scratching events could aid in the development of therapies for atopic ...

Long‐term culture of skin biopsies: maintenance of fibroblast production and competency of reprogramming

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Skin biopsies taken from a patient with an ultra‐rare disorder as well as controls were cultured for up to 473 days. The chunks of skin were serially transferred to a new culture plate when confluent with fibroblasts. Different generations of fibroblasts were analyzed for cell and molecular properties, proliferation, and competence for reprogramming to

Modulation of Itch by Localized Skin Warming and Cooling

open access: yesActa Dermato-Venereologica, 2018
Skin thermal changes modulate itch sensitivity. However, the mechanisms of this modulation are still unclear. Using mouse models of acute and chronic itch, we investigated whether local innocuous thermal stimulation of the skin alters itch sensitivity ...

Cynomolgus monkey model of interleukin‐31‐induced scratching depicts blockade of human interleukin‐31 receptor A by a humanized monoclonal antibody

open access: yesExperimental Dermatology, 2018
Scratching is an important factor exacerbating skin lesions through the so‐called itch‐scratch cycle in atopic dermatitis (AD). In mice, interleukin (IL)‐31 and its receptor IL‐31 receptor A (IL‐31RA) are known to play a critical role in pruritus and the

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Elevated DDX3X expression led to downregulation of BMPR2, a key regulator of endothelial homeostasis and function. Our co‐immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated a molecular interaction between DDX3X and BMPR2. Notably, DDX3X promoted lysosomal degradation of BMPR2, thereby impairing its downstream signaling and facilitating endothelial‐to ...
