Scientific Reports, 2023 • October 20, 2023
This study successfully synthesized GO using a modified Hummer's method and immobilized cABC I on it, characterized using XRD, FTIR, and SEM. The immobilized cABC I on GO followed Michaelis-Menten kin...
KEY FINDING: Immobilization of cABC I on GO resulted in a greater Km and lower Vmax compared to the free enzyme.
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2018 • April 18, 2018
Neural progenitor cells were cultured on electrospun P(HB-co-HHx) fiber substrates coated with either laminin or poly-L-lysine/laminin. At different times after cell seeding, the samples were fixed an...
KEY FINDING: Changes in lipid and amide I–II spectral regions are modulated by the type and coating of the substrate used and the culture time.
Langmuir, 2024 • December 9, 2024
This study introduces a computational framework to investigate the interactions between SAP fibrils and neuronal membranes using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations reveal t...
KEY FINDING: LDLK3 monomers and AQP4 cause different structural perturbations in the neural membrane that may be interpreted as different lipid fingerprints.
Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2017 • February 4, 2017
Stem cells possess self-renewal and differentiation capabilities, holding potential for treating various conditions, including tooth loss. Dental stem cells, easily accessible, offer promise in treati...
KEY FINDING: Dental stem cells are found in primary and permanent teeth, including wisdom teeth, making them a readily available resource.
Nature Communications, 2023 • October 27, 2023
This study introduces a 'psoriasis catalytic therapy' strategy using biomimetic materials (FeN4O2-SACs) to continuously scavenge overexpressed ROS, thereby ameliorating psoriatic lesions and preventin...
KEY FINDING: FeN4O2-SACs exhibit multiple enzyme-mimicking activities, analogous to natural antioxidant enzymes, demonstrating broad-spectrum ROS scavenging capability.
Nanoscale Advances, 2019 • January 1, 2019
This study introduces a method for the rapid synthesis of red-emitting copper nanoclusters (R-CuNCs) using green-emitting copper nanoclusters (G-CuNCs) as assistants, while preserving their water solu...
KEY FINDING: G-CuNCs can assist in the fast formation of R-CuNCs, retaining their tiny size and water solubility.
ACS Omega, 2018 • November 2, 2018
The study demonstrates a method for fabricating aggregated L-cysteine-protected copper nanoclusters into 3D nanomaterials with a mesoporous sphere structure using Ce3+ as a crosslinking agent. The int...
KEY FINDING: Ce3+ ions can be used to crosslink and rearrange L-cysteine-protected copper nanoclusters into ordered mesoporous spheres.
Nanoscale Advances, 2024 • September 15, 2024
The study successfully developed a micellar thermosensitive hydrogel (MCPP-M-gel) encapsulating minocycline (MC) using PEG–PLGA copolymer for spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment. In vitro, MCPP-M-gel e...
KEY FINDING: MCPP-M-gel demonstrated favorable physico-mechanical properties and extended MC release over 72 hours in vitro without cytotoxic effects on neural crest-derived ectoderm mesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs).
Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering, 2024 • August 19, 2024
This study evaluated the safety and feasibility of the Reynolds Innovative Spinal Electrical Stimulation (RISES) system, a novel closed-loop transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) technology fo...
KEY FINDING: The RISES system demonstrated safety and feasibility for tSCS application in clinical settings. There were no serious adverse events and skin integrity was unaffected at stimulation sites.
Cells, 2023 • May 6, 2023
This study investigates a multi-faceted therapeutic approach for spinal cord injury (SCI), combining nanomedicines (NMeds) loaded with triiodothyronine (T3), systemic ibuprofen, and mouse nerve growth...
KEY FINDING: The "combo" therapy reduced M1 microglia activation and glutamate levels in the short term, indicating a strong anti-inflammatory effect.
