Tissue-adhesive, stretchable and compressible physical double-crosslinked microgel-integrated hydrogels for dynamic wound care.

Acta Biomater

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Composite and Functional Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China.

Integrated wound care through sequentially promoting hemostasis, sealing, and healing holds great promise in clinical practice. However, it remains challenging for regular bioadhesives to achieve integrated care of dynamic wounds due to the difficulties in adapting to dynamic mechanical and wet wound environments. Herein, we reported a type of dehydrated, physical double crosslinked microgels (DPDMs) which were capable of in situ forming highly stretchable, compressible and tissue-adhesive hydrogels for integrated care of dynamic wounds.

ZIF-8-Modified Black Phosphorus Nanosheets Incorporated into Injectable Dual-Component Hydrogels for Enhanced Photothermal Antibacterial and Osteogenic Activities.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

June 2024

Research Unit of Island Emergency Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (No. 2019RU013), Hainan Medical University, Haikou 571199, China.

The development of growth factor-free biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration with anti-infection and anti-inflammatory activities remains challenging. Black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNs), with distinctive attributes, including photothermal conversion and calcium ion chelation, offer potential for use in bone tissue engineering and infection prevention. However, BPNs are prone to oxidation and degradation in aqueous environments, and methods to stabilize BPNs for long-term bone repair remain insufficient.

Background: The cognitive decline induced by Alzheimer's disease (AD) is closely related to changes in hippocampal structure captured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To accurately analyze the morphological changes of the hippocampus induced by AD, it is necessary to establish a one-to-one surface correspondence to compare the morphological measurements across different hippocampal surfaces. However, most existing landmark-based registration methods cannot satisfy both landmark matching and diffeomorphism under large deformations.

Chronic inflammation is one of the central drivers in the development of dry eye disease (DED), in which pyroptosis induced by the NLRP3/caspase-1/gasdermin D (GSDMD) pathway plays a key role. This pathway has become a major target for the treatment of a variety of inflammatory disorders. Oridonin (Ori) is a naturally occurring substance with anti-inflammatory properties obtained from Rabdosia rubescens.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common issue among males, and the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for treating ED has gained increasing attention, but there is still no conclusive evidence regarding its efficacy.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of PRP therapy for ED.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases up to November 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on PRP therapy for ED.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the involvement of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway and its underlying mechanism in diabetic dry eye.

Methods: Two models of diabetic dry eye were established in high glucose-induced human corneal epithelial (HCE-T) cells and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced C57BL/6 mice, and the TLR4 inhibitor fosfenopril (FOS) was utilized to suppress the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway. The expression changes in TLR4, NF-κB, NLRP3, and IL-1β, and other factors were detected by Western blot and RT‒qPCR, the wound healing rate was evaluated by cell scratch assay, and the symptoms of diabetic mice were evaluated by corneal sodium fluorescein staining and tear secretion assay.

It is common for maladies and trauma to cause significant bone deterioration in the craniofacial bone, which can cause patients to experience complications with their appearance and their ability to function. Regarding grafting procedures' complications and disadvantages, the newly emerging field of tissue regeneration has shown promise. Tissue -engineered technologies and their applications in the craniofacial region are increasingly gaining prominence with limited postoperative risk and cost.

Purpose: Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer and plays a key role in precision oncology treatment. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate cancer cell behavior, including metabolism. Disulfidptosis, a newly identified form of regulated cell death triggered by glucose starvation, has yet to be fully understood in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD).

Study Question: Does the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the endometrium regulate endometrial receptivity in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF)?

Summary Answer: A high abundance of PCNA attenuates endometrial adhesive capacity and decidualization in patients with RIF.

What Is Known Already: Aberrant expression of PCNA has been discovered in multiple infertility-related disorders. However, the expression pattern and role of PCNA in the establishment of endometrial receptivity and endometrial decidualization in patients with RIF remain unclear.

In addition to presenting significant diagnostic and treatment challenges, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common form of lung cancer. Using scRNA-Seq and bulk RNA-Seq data, we identify three genes referred to as HMR, FAM83A, and KRT6A these genes are related to necroptotic anoikis-related gene expression. Initial validation, conducted on the GSE50081 dataset, demonstrated the model's ability to categorize LUAD patients into high-risk and low-risk groups with significant survival differences.

Sexual dimorphism in immune responses is an essential factor in environmental adaptation. However, the mechanisms involved remain obscure owing to the scarcity of data from sex-role-reversed species in stressed conditions. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is one of the most pervasive and carcinogenic organic pollutants in coastal environments.

SFTSV nucleoprotein mediates DNA sensor cGAS degradation to suppress cGAS-dependent antiviral responses.

Microbiol Spectr

June 2024

State Key Laboratory of Virology, School of Public Health, Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, China.

Article Synopsis
  • cGAS is a special protein that helps the body fight off infections by recognizing DNA from harmful viruses like SFTSV, which is a dangerous virus spread by ticks.
  • Researchers found that when SFTSV infects cells, it actually causes more cGAS to be made to try to fight back.
  • However, SFTSV can also trick cGAS and make it break down, which helps the virus survive because it stops cGAS from doing its job in the immune response.

PLD2 deficiency alleviates endothelial glycocalyx degradation in LPS-induced ARDS/ALI.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun

July 2024

Department of Intensive Care Unit, Binzhou Medical University Hospital, Binzhou, 256603, Shandong Province, China. Electronic address:

- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)/acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening condition marked by severe lung inflammation and increased lung endothelial barrier permeability. Endothelial glycocalyx deterioration is the primary factor of vascular permeability changes in ARDS/ALI. Although previous studies have shown that phospholipase D2 (PLD2) is closely related to the onset and progression of ARDS/ALI, its role and mechanism in the damage of endothelial cell glycocalyx remains unclear.
