Aqueous solution interactions with sex hormone-binding globulin and estradiol: A theoretical investigation [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a binding protein that regulates availability of steroids hormones in the plasma. Although best known as steroid carrier, studies have associated SHBG in modulating behavioral aspects related to sexual receptivity.

Therapeutic Potential of Manuka Honey Microbubble Dressing in Wound Management

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The manuka honey microbubble dressing innovation utilizes high‐density stainless steel mesh technology to generate microscopic honey bubbles achieving S. aureus elimination by fine‐tuning factors such as microbubble size, MH microbubble consumption, and treatment duration. This pioneering approach transforms traditional wound healing and may reduce the

Unravelling the Origins of Ice Nucleation on Organic Crystals [PDF]

, 2018
Organic molecules such as steroids or amino acids form crystals that can facilitate the formation of ice -- arguably the most important phase transition on earth. However, the origin of the ice nucleating ability of organic crystals is still largely unknown.

Label‐Free Impedimetric Determination of Cortisol Using Gold Nanoparticles Functionalized Laser‐Induced Graphene Interdigitated Electrodes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Non‐faradaic label‐free impedimetric determination of cortisol is demonstrated with gold nanoparticles (AuNP) functionalized laser‐induced graphene interdigitated electrodes (LIG‐IDE). The AuNP functionalized LIG‐IDE exhibits remarkable characteristics including good logarithmic linear range, high reproducibility, repeatability, and robust selectivity.

FGF2 Mediated USP42‐PPARγ Axis Activation Ameliorates Liver Oxidative Damage and Promotes Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
USP42 is identified as a novel DUB of PPARγ in hepatocytes. USP42 mediated PPARγ deubiquitylation determines its transcriptional preference on proliferative and redox balance genes. USP42 knockdown exacerbates liver damage and delays regeneration. FGF2 is the upstream signal that initiates and activates the USP42‐PPARγ axis.

A Multifunctional Nanodelivery System Modified by Fusion Peptides Acts as Teriparatide Carrier for Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The fusion peptide LR27‐modified thermosensitive nanodelivery system exhibits both hair cell targeting and inner ear penetrating properties. This system sustainably and effectively delivers PTH1‐34 to the inner ear of a hearing loss mouse model via the synergistic effects of multiple peptides, achieving satisfactory hearing protection through ...

Stress hormones predict hyperbolic time-discount rates six months later in adults [PDF]

Neuro Endocrinol Lett. 2010;31(5):616-621, 2011
Objectives: Stress hormones have been associated with temporal discounting. Although time-discount rate is shown to be stable over a long term, no study to date examines whether individual differences in stress hormones could predict individuals' time-discount rates in the relatively distant future (e.g., six month later), which is of interest in ...

Advances in Nano‐Immunomodulatory Systems for the Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on the biodegradability and the immunological reactiveness, IMNs can be broadly classified into four categories. The first category includes types of biologically derived materials that cause immunomodulatory action and biodegradability like nanoparticles of cell membranes, extracellular vesicles, and exosomes.
