This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...

Possible role of extracellularly released phagocytic proteinases in the coagulation disorder during liver transplantation [PDF]
Orthotopic liver transplantation is frequently associated with a complex coagulation disorder, influencing the outcome of the procedure. In this respect, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) had been suggested to be of causative importance for ...

Cytokine Engineering Approaches for Regenerative Medicine
Engineered cytokines represent a powerful strategy to promote tissue repair and regeneration by precisely modulating immune responses. This review highlights recent advances in cytokine engineering, including strategies to enhance half‐life, improve tissue and cell targeting, and control receptor signaling.

Substrate specificity and structural investigation into PepO and PepW : two peptidases from Lactobacillus rhamnosus : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The proteolytic systems of lactic acid bacteria have important roles in the maturation and flavour development of cheese. Lactic acid bacteria pepetidases contribute to the taste of cheese through the production of low-molecular weight peptides and free ...

Non-conventional affinity chromatography of serine proteinases and their inhibitors.
From among a wide variety of protein purification techniques affinity chromatography has proved to be particularly effective for separation of proteolytic enzymes and their inhibitors. In this article, following a general description of affinity adsorbents used for purification of proteinases, we overview a simple separation procedure for some serine ...

Loss of NR2F6 Protects from Salmonella Typhimurium Infection
Loss of nuclear receptor NR2F6 reduces tissue‐resident macrophage populations. Nr2f6‐deficient mice are protected from weight loss and bacterial load during infection with Salmonella Typhimurium. Pro‐inflammatory cytokines and iron levels are altered in infected Nr2f6‐deficient mice.

Identification of Theaflavin-3,3’-Digallate as a Novel Zika Virus Protease Inhibitor
Mounting evidence indicates that Zika virus (ZIKV) is closely related to neurological disorders such as microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. There are currently no effective vaccines and FDA-approved inhibitors against ZIKV infection. The flaviviral

Purification of a trypsin inhibitor from Cocculus hirsutus and identification of its biological activity [PDF]
Proteinase inhibitors play a significant role in plant defense against insect pests and phytopathogens by inhibiting their proteases. A thermotolerant monomeric trypsin inhibitor with molecular weight ∼18kD was purified from Cocculus hirsutus (ChTI ...

This study identifies a novel oncogenic role and a previously unrecognized phosphorylation substrate of BCKDK in RCC, wherein it promotes tumor progression and drug resistance through AKT phosphorylation at both Thr308 and Ser473 sites and activation of AKT/mTOR and AKT/ABCB1 signaling pathways, offering a promising prognostic marker and therapeutic ...

Proteomic analysis of the excretory-secretory products from larval stages of Ascaris suum reveals high abundance of glycosyl hydrolases [PDF]
Background: Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are socioeconomically important and widespread parasites of humans and pigs, respectively. The excretory-secretory (ES) molecules produced and presented at the parasite-host interface during the different
