An Off‐the‐Shelf Artificial Blood Clot Hydrogel Neutralizing Multiple Proinflammatory Mediators for Pro‐Regenerative Periodontitis Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel is engineered to structurally and functionally mimic the blood clot by integrating PPR, CCS, and RSF nanofibers through in situ activation of PRP. In a rat periodontitis model, CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel effectively promotes periodontal tissue repair, attributing to neutralizing the multiple proinflammatory mediators, thus rebuilding a ...

Thrombin generates previously unidentified C5 products that support the terminal complement activation pathway.

open access: yesBlood, 2012
The coagulation and complement pathways simultaneously promote homeostasis in response to injury but cause tissue damage when unregulated. Mechanisms by which they cooperate are poorly understood.

Use of microfluidics to assess the platelet-based control of coagulation

open access: yesPlatelets, 2017
This paper provides an overview of the various types of microfluidic devices that are employed to study the complex processes of platelet activation and blood coagulation in whole blood under flow conditions. We elaborate on how these devices are used to

High‐Throughput MicroED for Probing Ion Channel Dynamics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐throughput MicroED offers a new approach for visualizing ion channel dynamics. This approach reveals NaK’s sodium binding modes and NaK2CNG’s potassium‐induced selectivity filter dilation and gating. By capturing these distinct structures, this work challenges traditional models of ion channel permeation and selectivity. Abstract Ion channels play

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

The Modified Recombinant Proinsulin: A Simple and Efficient Way to Produce Insulin Glargine in E. coli

open access: yesResearch in Molecular Medicine, 2021
Background: Recombinant insulin glargine, a long-acting analog of insulin, is expressed as proinsulin in the host cell and, after purification and refolding steps, is processed to mature insulin by using trypsin and carboxypeptidase B. Because of several

Circulating Tumor Cells Shed Shearosome Extracellular Vesicles in Capillary Bifurcations That Activate Endothelial and Immune Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Using microfluidic models of capillary networks, this study discovered that fluid shear stresses on circulating tumor cells transiting through capillary‐sized bifurcations shed a novel class of shear‐dependent large extracellular vesicle, “shearosomes”, whose proteome comprises of over 3000 distinct proteins.

Trypstatin as a Novel TMPRSS2 Inhibitor with Broad‐Spectrum Efficacy against Corona and Influenza Viruses

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Trypstatin, a 61‐amino acid Kunitz‐type protease inhibitor derived from human Bikunin, potently inhibits TMPRSS2 and related proteases. It blocks spike‐ and hemagglutinin‐mediated entry of multiple respiratory viruses in vitro reduces SARS‐CoV‐2 replication in human airway cultures, and lowers viral load and symptoms in infected hamsters, demonstrating

The transfer of VLDL-associated phospholipids to activated platelets depends upon cytosolic phospholipase A2 activity

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2007
We previously reported that VLDL could transfer phospholipids (PLs) to activated platelets. To identify the metabolic pathway involved in this process, the transfer of radiolabeled PLs from VLDL (200 μM PL) to platelets (2 × 108/ml) was measured after ...
