As a pervasive insect that transmits variety of pathogens to humans and animals, the housefly has abundant diverse microbial communities in its intestines. These gut microbes play an important role biology insects form symbiotic relationship with host insect. Alterations structure community would affect larval development. Therefore, it is understand mechanism regulating influence specific bacteria on development larvae.For this study we selected intestinal bacterium Enterobacter hormaechei,...

Diabetic wounds that do not heal for a long time challenge global healthcare. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has positive significance in promoting diabetic wound healing. However, traditional MSC involves exogenous MSCs, which brings many limitations and unsatisfactory treatment. Moreover, the maintenance of viability function is difficult because high level reactive oxygen species (ROS) wounds. Therefore, we developed nanofibrous dressing to recruit protect endogenous MSCs while...

In the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair pathways, DNA enzymes have great significance for genomic integrity. As one important initiator of base-excision pathway, aberrant activity uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is closely associated with many diseases. Herein, we developed a simple distance-based device visual detection UDG using load-free hydrogel. The hydrogel consists polyacrylamide–DNA chains being bridged by single-stranded crosslinker containing responsive uracil base site. can...
