This study found that overexpression of PKCepsilon in mouse epidermis was associated with increased susceptibility to metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, potentially through a mechanism involving tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
research Anticancer activity of cepharanthine on non-small cell lung cancer cells
In this study, researchers found that cepharanthine significantly inhibited the growth of non-small cell lung cancer cells by inducing apoptosis through ROS generation and altering multiple signaling pathways, suggesting potential as a novel lung cancer treatment.
research Structural and dynamic insights into substrate binding and catalysis of human lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase
This study examined the structural and biochemical mechanisms of human lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, detailing substrate and product binding processes at the catalytic site and suggesting potential for drug delivery targeting hydrophobic molecules.
research ROS Balance Autoregulating Core–Shell CeO2@ZIF-8/Au Nanoplatform for Wound Repair
In this study, researchers created a core-shell nanozyme, CeO2@ZIF-8/Au, which autonomously regulates ROS levels to efficiently eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing by balancing ROS generation and scavenging in response to environmental conditions.
research Pili trianguli et canaliculi as a phenotypic subtype in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: A scanning electron microscopy study
Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.
research Class III peroxidases PRX01, PRX44, and PRX73 potentially target extensins during root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana
In this study, researchers identified three root hair-specific peroxidases that may control cell wall properties during root hair cell expansion, affecting growth, enzyme activity, and cell wall structure.
research Reduction mechanism of L‐cysteine on keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy
In this study, researchers found that L-cysteine interacted electrostatically with anionic ions on the surface of keratin fibers in human hair, reducing the rate of disulfide bond disconnection at pH 9.0.
research The Potential Teeth Bleaching and Halitosis Prevention Effects of Pediococcus inopinatus THK-30, a Kimchi-Derived Lactic Acid Bacterium: In Vitro Study
