Two genetic types of collagenous proteins, type I and type III, were isolated by extraction and differential salt precipitation from rat skin. The yield of collagen precursors was increased by injecting animals with colchicine 30 min before sacrifice to inhibit secretion of collagen. DEAE-cellulose chromatography was used to separate collagen from collagen precursors. Although these preparations contained more type I collagen than type III collagen, there were always more type III than type I precursors. The precursor chains of type I fractions were separated on CM-cellulose chromatography after denaturation. Three precursor forms were found for each collagen alpha chain, a complete chain (proalpha chain), and a precursor chain with only an amino-terminal (pNalpha chain) and carboxy-terminal extension (pCalpha chain). Species differences were demonstrated between rat collagen precursors and other species using rat calvaria (frontal and parietal) bones extracted with either 0.5 N acetic acid or neutral salt buffers containing protease inhibitors. Native rat procollagen elutes earlier than chicken or human procollagen on DEAE-cellulose chromatography and does not separate significantly from the pC collagen form. The collagenase resistant amino terminal peptides of rat pNalpha1 and pNalpha2 were the same size (16 000) but could be separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography.

Cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors are under consideration to be used in the treatment of cardiovascular pathologies. A prerequisite to advancing ChE inhibitors into the clinic is their thorough characterization in the heart. The aim here was to provide a detailed analysis of cardiac ChE to understand their molecular composition, localization, and physiological functions.

Chronic wounds caused by microbial infection have emerged as a major challenge on patients and medical health system. Bacterial cellulose (BC) characterized by its excellent biocompatibility and porous network, holds promise for addressing complex wound issues. However, lack of inherent antibacterial activity and cross-linking sites in the molecular network of BC have constrained its efficacy in hydrogel design and treatment of bacterial-infected wounds.

This study describes the potential of the conditioned medium (CM) from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) to affect the response of bone cells and support bone remodeling. This was in particular assessed by an in vitro model represented by a 3D human osteoblast-osteoclast co-culture. It has been reported that the effects of ASCs are predominantly attributable to the paracrine effects of their secreted factors, that are present as soluble factors or loaded into extracellular vesicles.

Article Synopsis
- Undecylprodigiosin (UDP) is a valuable biomaterial with various biological applications but is often limited by low synthesis efficiency and high production costs.
- A new method using collagen hydrolysate (COH) as a precursor significantly improved UDP synthesis efficiency, achieving a 7-fold increase in yield and a 10-fold reduction in fermentation time compared to traditional muscle hydrolysate.
- Whole-genome analysis of the microorganism used (sp. SLL-523) showed enhanced gene expression related to UDP production, facilitated by COH, highlighting this method's potential for sustainable and cost-effective biomaterial synthesis.
