Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by chronic bronchitic and emphysematous components. In one biophysical model, the concentration of mucin on airway surfaces hypothesized to be a key variable that controls mucus transport in healthy persons versus cessation with muco-obstructive lung diseases. Under this it postulated high produces sputum progression are characteristic bronchitis.We COPD status 917 participants from Subpopulations Intermediate Outcome Measures...

The cellular behavior and toxicity effect of organometallic complexes depend largely on their peripheral ligands. In this study, we have synthesized a series novel luminescent cationic iridium(III) by tuning the ancillary N(∧)N ligand based structure [Ir(ppy)2(N(∧)N)](+) (ppy = 1-phenyl-pyridine; 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy, 1) or phenanthroline (phen, 2) 4,7-diphenyl-1,10- (DIP, 3)). As size coordinated increases, absorbance/emission efficiency, quantum yields, lipophilicity, cell uptake rates...

In the field of peptide drug discovery, structural constraining and fluorescent labeling are two sought-after techniques important for both basic research pharmaceutical development. this work, we describe an easy-to-use approach simultaneous cyclization luminescent based on iridium(III)–histidine coordination (Ir–HH cyclization). Using a series model peptides with histidine flanking each terminus, binding activity reaction kinetics Ir–HH different ring sizes were characterized. series,...

Chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and asthma are characterized by hypersecretion poor clearance of mucus, which associated with prognosis mortality. Little is known about the relationship between biophysical properties mucus its molecular composition. The mucins MUC5B MUC5AC traditionally believed to generate characteristic airway mucus. However, contribution hundreds globular proteins not clear. Approximately one-third total proteome comprises distinct,...

Cationic amphipathic peptides (CAPs) are known to be able cause membrane destabilization and induce cell death, yet how the hydrophobicity, amphipathicity, lysine (K)/arginine (R) composition synergistically affect peptide activity remains incompletely understood. Here, we designed a panel of based on well-known anticancer KLA. Increasing hydrophobicity enhanced cytotoxicities both K- R-rich peptides. Peptides with an intact helical interface can instant death through lysis mechanism....

Mammalian oocyte maturation is distinguished by asymmetric division that regulated primarily cytoskeleton, including microtubules and microfilaments. Small Rho GTPase RhoA a key regulator of cytoskeletal organization which regulates cell polarity, migration, division. In this study, we investigated the roles in mammalian meiosis early embryo cleavage. (1) Disrupting activity or knock down expression caused failure polar body emission. This may have been due to decreased actin assembly...

Mucosal protection of the gallbladder is vital yet we know very little about mechanisms involved. In domestic dogs, an emergent syndrome referred to as mucocele formation characterized by excessive secretion abnormal mucus that results in obstruction and rupture gallbladder. The cause unknown. these first mechanistic studies this disease, investigated normal mucocele-forming dog gallbladders determine source, identity, biophysical properties, protein associates culprit mucins with aim...

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a degenerative and chronic spinal disorder often associated with the older population. Oxidative stress major pathogenic factor of aging that results in apoptosis nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Quercetin (QUE), naturally occurring flavonoid antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties, has been studied research on diseases. However, potential effects mechanisms action QUE IVDD remain unclear. In this study,...

Foreign body response (FBR) to biomaterials compromises the function of implants and leads medical complications. Here, we report a hybrid alginate microcapsule (AlgXO) that attenuated immune after implantation, through releasing exosomes derived from human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (XOs). Upon release, XOs suppress local microenvironment, where xenotransplantation rat islets encapsulated in AlgXO led >170 days euglycemia immunocompetent mouse model Type 1 Diabetes. In vitro...

Abstract Corneal injectable hydrogels represent a promising alternative to alleviate donor shortage and simplify traditional surgeries. However, most focus on repairing focal corneal defects (≤3.5 mm) leave many clinical requirements unmet. Herein, novel ion‐activated bioadhesive hydrogel (IonBAH) is designed its long‐term performance of large (6 evaluated in rabbits for 6 months. The IonBAH dual‐network composed natural extracellular matrix peptide‐modified alginate, which enables desirable...

ABSTRACT The host cytoskeleton plays crucial roles in various stages of virus infection, including viral entry, transport, replication, and release. However, the specific mechanisms by which intermediate filaments are involved orthoflavivirus infection have not been well understood. In this study, we demonstrate that Japanese encephalitis (JEV) remodels vimentin network, resulting formation cage-like structures support replication. Mechanistically, JEV NS1 NS1’ proteins induce translocation...
