Mechanistic Insight into the Elastin Degradation Process by the Metalloprotease Myroilysin from the Deep-Sea Bacterium Myroides profundi D25

Marine Drugs, 2015
Elastases have been widely studied because of their important uses as medicine and meat tenderizers. However, there are relatively few studies on marine elastases. Myroilysin, secreted by Myroides profundi D25 from deep-sea sediment, is a novel elastase.

Engineering Aging: Approaches to Model and Deconstruct Biological Complexity

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
The macro‐experiences of aging are the result of an accumulation of micro‐changes that occur over time. Abstract The disparity between the global increase in life expectancy and the steady decline in health outcomes with age has been a major driver for developing new ways to research aging.

Functional CRISPR‐Cas9 knockout screening of the genetic determinants of human fibroblast migration propensity

Biotechnology Progress, Volume 42, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Directional cell migration plays a central role in a wide range of physiological and pathological conditions, such as embryonic development or tumor metastasis. Steps involved in cell migration include cell polarization, formation of membrane protrusions at the cell front side and adhesion disassembly at the rear side, and a general ...
