Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Mechanisms and active components of Solanum nigrum in the amelioration of psoriatic lesions

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionPsoriasis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease in which pattern recognition receptors, particularly the NLRP3 inflammasome, are increasingly implicated in disease pathogenesis.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Engineering an immuno-nanoprodrug: Photo-controlled pyroptosis synergizing with acid-activatable immunometabolic blockade for potent cancer immunotherapy

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B
Although immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, antitumor immunological responses remain limited by insufficient tumor immunogenicity and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Topical non-steroidal immunomodulators in dermatology

Indian Dermatology Online Journal, 2023
Immunological abnormality is the pathological basis of many dermatological disorders. Although steroids are the backbone of topical therapy in dermatology, the side effects are encountered quite frequently.

Cancer‐associated mutations in endometriosis reframe a benign disease through molecular oncology

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review aims to comprehensively analyse cancer‐associated somatic mutations (CAMs) present in endometriotic lesions, emphasizing their biological roles, spatial distribution and implications for translational applications in medicine. By contextualizing a benign state within a genomic framework, this analysis seeks to establish its value as a ...

Interventions in cytokine signaling: novel horizons for psoriasis treatment

Frontiers in Immunology
Intricate interactions between immune cells and cytokines define psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is immunological-mediated. Cytokines, including interleukins (ILs), interferons (IFNs), tumor necrosis factors (TNFs), chemokines, and ...

A pilot study on the efficacy of topical lotion containing anti-acne postbiotic in subjects with mild -to -moderate acne

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
IntroductionAcne can compromise facial esthetics and become a mental burden, especially when it occurs in puberty. Skincare cosmetics with anti-acne efficiency is more convenient than other treatment modalities, such as dietary supplements, in certain ...
