Rapid and scar-free healing of burn wounds is an urgent clinical issue. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been proven to promote the healing of burn wounds by accelerating ECM remodeling and angiogenesis. However, exudates from burn wounds can accelerate bFGF degradation, thereby affecting its bioactivity.

In this study, we aim to accomplish the scaling-up production of mature hbFGF (146aa) by implementing a high cell-density fermentation and purification process on a 500-L scale, thereby satisfying the escalating demands for both experimental research and clinical applications. The hbFGF DNA fragment was cloned into a mpET-3c vector containing a kanamycin resistance gene and then inserted into BL21 (DE3) plysS strain.

While previous research has shown its impact on the reproductive system, investigations into its mechanisms during puberty remain limited. This study aims to explore the effects of TCBPA on Leydig cells in adolescent mice and potential underlying mechanisms.

Breast cancer diagnosis still presents significant challenges, and preventing the disease's most severe symptoms requires early detection. The role of nanotechnology in the tumor-treatment has recently attracted a lot of interest.
