A Heparin‐Functionalized Scaffold with HB‐EGF Immobilization for Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a heparin‐functionalized scaffold is designed for bio‐mimicking growth factors reservoir function of extracellular matrix. Due to the presence of heparin‐binding domain, heparin‐binding epidermal growth factor‐like growth factor (HB‐EGF) is effectively and spatially captured by heparin‐functionalized scaffold.

Use of microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for production of double-stranded RNA against shrimp virus

Aquaculture Reports, 2016
RNA interference has been proposed to be a promising tool for combating shrimp viruses. Antiviral double-stranded (ds)RNA has been mostly produced in Escherichia coli-expression system because of its high efficiency and inexpensive operations.

Metronidazole‐Loaded Cyclodextrin Nanogels for Antibacterial Therapy and Microbiota Regulation in Periodontitis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A methacrylamide β‐cyclodextrin‐based nanogel (MACD nGel) is developed to load the antimicrobial drug Metronidazole (MNZ) for topical delivery for the treatment of periodontitis. It is demonstrated that cyclodextrin nanogel (nGel) loaded with metronidazole provides an efficient drug delivery route but also has potential clinical applications and offers

RNAi screening identifies a new Toll from shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei that restricts WSSV infection through activating Dorsal to induce antimicrobial peptides

PLoS Pathogens, 2018
The function of Toll pathway defense against bacterial infection has been well established in shrimp, however how this pathway responds to viral infection is still largely unknown.

Biomimetic Scaffolds with Dual Gradients of Biological Effectors for Tendon‐to‐Bone Repair

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The authors have developed a biomimetic scaffold with dual gradients through a diffusion‐driven method. The scaffold features funnel‐shaped microchannels for cell infiltration, while the dual gradients synergetically induce the graded differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and tenocytes, allowing for a seamless ...

Gentamicin‐Loaded Carbonate Apatite with Dual Antibacterial and Osteogenic Functions for Combating Surgical Site Infections

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A bone substitute with gentamicin physically precipitated onto the surface of carbonate apatite exhibits prompt drug release, high bactericidal activity, and osteogenic capacity. Efficient antibacterial activity mitigates early postoperative neutrophil accumulation, the status of which may serve as a potential parameter for evaluating the antibacterial

Integrated histological, physiological, and transcriptome analysis reveals the post-exposure recovery mechanism of nitrite in Litopenaeus vannamei

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Nitrite is one of the most common toxic pollutants in intensive aquaculture and is harmful to aquatic animals. Recovery mechanisms post exposure to nitrite in shrimp have rarely been investigated.

White Spot Syndrome Virus-Induced Shrimp miR-315 Attenuates Prophenoloxidase Activation via PPAE3 Gene Suppression

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), the small non-coding RNAs, play a pivotal role in post-transcriptional gene regulation in various cellular processes. However, the miRNA function in shrimp antiviral response is not clearly understood.

Bacterial community characterization of water and intestine of the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris in a biofloc system

BMC Microbiology, 2016
BackgroundBiofloc technology (BFT), a rearing method with little or no water exchange, is gaining popularity in aquaculture. In the water column, such systems develop conglomerates of microbes, algae and protozoa, together with detritus and dead organic ...
