AI Article Synopsis
- * Research in a mouse wound healing model showed that pro-α3(V) is transiently expressed at lower levels than other collagen types after injury, confirmed by various techniques like RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.
- * Pro-α3(V) chain was found in a nonfibrillar region and co-localized with heparan sulfate in injured skin, suggesting it plays a role in the initial stages of wound healing.
Article Abstract
The α3(V) chain is poorly characterized among type V collagen chains. Pro-α3(V) collagen is expressed in newly synthesized bone as well as in the superficial fascia of developing muscle. Present study examined the expression in a mouse model of wound healing. Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization revealed transient expression of pro-α3(V) chain at a lower level than other fibrillar collagen genes after injury. Immunohistochemistry showed a similar expression pattern in the injured skin. In addition, electron microscopy showed that pro-α3(V) chain was localized in the amorphous nonfibrillar region, but not in fine or dense fibrils. The pro-α3(V) chain co-localized with heparan sulfate, which appeared in the skin after injury and might bind via an acidic segment of the pro-α3(V) chain. The matrix containing the pro-α3(V) chain may therefore be needed for the initiation of wound healing.

Aluminum is a well-known and widely distributed environmental neurotoxin. This study aimed to investigate the effect of miR-98-5p targeting insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) on aluminum neurotoxicity. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups and administered 0, 10, 20, and 40 μmol/kg maltol aluminum [Al(mal)], respectively.

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 system has revolutionized targeted mutagenesis, but screening for mutations in large sample pools can be time-consuming and costly. We present an efficient and cost-effective polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based strategy for identifying edited mutants in the T generation. Unlike previous methods, our approach addresses the challenges of large progeny populations by using T generation sequencing results for genotype prediction.

Flax is an important crop used for oil and fiber production. Although genetic engineering has been possible in flax, it is not commonly used to produce cultivars. However, the use of genome editing technology, which can produce site-specific mutations without introducing foreign genes, may be a valuable tool for creating elite cultivars that can be easily cultivated.

A theory of singlet fission in carotenoid dimers is presented which aims to explain the mechanism behind the creation of two uncorrelated triplets. Following the excitation of a carotenoid chain "bright" B+u state, there is ultrafast internal conversion to the intrachain "dark" 1B-u triplet-pair state. This strongly exchange-coupled state evolves into a pair of triplets on separate chains and spin-decoheres to form a pair of single, unentangled triplets, corresponding to complete singlet fission.

Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims receiving defibrillation from an automated external defibrillator (AED) placed early in the chain of survival are more likely to survive. We sought to explore the accuracy of AED pad placement for lay rescuers (LR) and first responders (FR).
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data collected during randomized OHCA simulation trials involving LRs and FRs.
