Metaproteomics enables the large-scale characterization of microbial community proteins, offering crucial insights into their taxonomic composition, functional activities, and interactions within their environments. By directly analyzing proteins, metaproteomics offers insights…
Dual physiological responsive structural color hydrogel particles for wound repair
Hydrogel-based patches have demonstrated their values in diabetic wounds repair, particularly those intelligent dressings with continuous repair promoting and monitoring capabilities. Here, we propose a type of dual physiological responsive…
Adaptive sequence alignment for metagenomic data analysis
With advances in sequencing technologies, the use of high-throughput sequencing to characterize microbial communities is becoming increasingly feasible. However, metagenomic assembly poses computational challenges in reconstructing genes and organisms from…
Mechanically regulated microcarriers with stem cell loading for skin photoaging therapy
Long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation compromises skin structural integrity and results in disruption of normal physiological functions. Stem cells have gained attention in anti-photoaging, while controlling the tissue mechanical microenvironment…
Early precursor-derived pituitary gland tissue-resident macrophages play a pivotal role in modulating hormonal balance
The pituitary gland is the central endocrine regulatory organ producing and releasing hormones that coordinate major body functions. The physical location of the pituitary gland at the base of the…
Proteomic profiling reveals alterations in metabolic and cellular pathways in severe obesity and following metabolic bariatric surgery
In this study, we investigated the impact of bariatric surgery on the adipose proteome to better understand the metabolic and cellular mechanisms underlying weight loss following the procedure. A total…
There Goes the Neighbourhood-A Multi-City Study Reveals Ticks and Tick-Borne Pathogens Commonly Occupy Urban Green Spaces
CONCLUSIONS: Ticks and TBPs are commonplace in urban green spaces in Finland. Enzootic cycles for Borrelia and Rickettsia appear to be well maintained within cities, leading to widespread risk of…
