Efferocytosis is the process by which phagocytes recognize, engulf, and degrade dying cells before they undergo secondary necrosis. Clearance of apoptotic cells is the most typical form of efferocytosis and involves phagocyte recruitment, phosphatidylserine recognition, phagocytic receptor ...
“Plant collagen” in skincare products does not refer to a single substance with a completely uniform composition and structure. The term may refer to plant-derived protein peptides such as hydrolyzed soy protein and hydrolyzed wheat protein; it may also refer to recombinant collagen produced ...
Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a mixture of DNA fragments composed of deoxyribonucleotides linked through 3′,5′-phosphodiester bonds. PDRN is not a single compound with a fixed molecular weight. Different raw materials may vary considerably in average chain length, molecular weight ...
Depression involves multilevel abnormalities in monoaminergic transmission, the balance between glutamate and GABA, regulation of the stress axis, and synaptic plasticity. Different targets separately influence mood, reward, cognition, sleep, and stress responses and together form an ...
In skincare products, retinol generally refers to all-trans-retinol. It has the molecular formula C₂₀H₃₀O and belongs to the naturally occurring vitamin A family of compounds.
Microglia-containing human brain organoids (MC-HBOs) integrate neural cells, glial cells, and resident immune cells of the central nervous system within a three-dimensional culture system and can be used to analyze the roles of microglia in brain development, neuroinflammation, and ...
Cyclopropylamines combine a three-membered cyclopropane carbon ring and a nitrogen-containing functional group within the same molecule. Cyclopropane possesses high ring strain and distinctive carbon–carbon bond orbital characteristics, while the nitrogen atom can participate in protonation, ...
Collagen is often described as a “supporting component” of the skin, bone, cartilage, and tendons. Although this description reflects the structural role of collagen, it can easily lead to an oversimplified assumption: the higher the collagen content, the better the condition of the tissue.
Furan, furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, furanboronic acids, benzofuran, and tetrahydrofuran all contain a five-membered oxygen-containing ring, yet they play different roles in chemical reactions. Furfural is commonly used as an intermediate for multiple ...
