In order to better understand the biochemical mechanisms of DNA metabolism in chloroplasts, repair of UV induced plastome damage in vivo was determined by exposure of soybean suspension cells to UV light and subsequent quantitation of the damage remaining in nuclear and chloroplast encoded genes with time by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). The kinetics of damage repair in the nuclear rbcS gene suggest that photoreactivation and dark mechanisms are active, while for the plastome encoded psbA gene only a light-dependent repair process was detected which is considerably slower than would be expected for photolyase-mediated photoreactivation.

Background: One in five sebaceous tumour (ST) patients may have Lynch syndrome (LS), a hereditary cancer predisposition. LS patients benefit from cancer surveillance and prevention programmes and immunotherapy. Whilst universal tumour mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency testing is recommended in colorectal and endometrial cancers to screen for LS, there is no consensus screening strategy for ST, leading to low testing rates and inequity of care.

The structure of many native tissues consists of aligned collagen (Col) fibrils, some of which are further composited with dispersed hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystals. Accurately mimicking this inherent structure is a promising approach to enhance scaffold biocompatibility in tissue engineering. In this study, biomimetic sheets composed of highly aligned Col fibrils were fabricated using a plastic compression and tension method, followed by the deposition of HAp nanocrystals on the surface via an alternate soaking method.

Managing uncontrolled and noncompressible bleeding presents a major challenge in emergency trauma care. Methods to halt bleeding quickly and efficiently, without applying direct pressure on the wound, have become a key focus of research. Herein, a novel fructose-modified chitosan/gelatin composite sponge has been developed, exhibiting high elasticity, low rebound pressure, and excellent cell compatibility.

Chronic inflammation is a common trait in the pathogenesis of several diseases of the gut, including inflammatory bowel disease and celiac disease. Control of the inflammatory response is crucial in these pathologies to avoid tissue destruction and loss of intestinal function. Over the last 50 years, the identification of the mechanisms and mediators involved in the acute phase of the inflammatory response, which is characterized by massive leukocyte recruitment, has led to a number of therapeutic options.
