Ecological implications of stomatal density and stomatal index in the adult stage of Mimosa L. (Leguminosae, Caesalpinio...
Published in Protoplasma
Differences in stomatal density (SD) and stomatal index (SI) are associated with the conditions of the environment in which they are distributed. Mimosa species are important elements in different plant communities, yet knowledge of the ecological implications of its stomatal characteristics is scarce. For this reason, SD and SI were determined in ...
Suppression of TCF4 promotes a ZC3H12A-mediated self-sustaining inflammatory feedback cycle involving IL-17RA/IL-17RE ep...
...
IL-17C is an epithelial cell-derived proinflammatory cytokine whose transcriptional regulation remains unclear. Analysis of the IL17C promoter region identified TCF4 as putative regulator, and siRNA knockdown of TCF4 in human keratinocytes (KCs) increased IL17C. IL-17C stimulation of KCs (along with IL-17A and TNF-α stimulation) decreased TCF4 and ...
Exposure Assessment for Wearable Patch Antenna Array at Millimeter Waves
The upcoming deployment of wireless networks and systems operating in the upper part of the microwave spectrum, including millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies, motivates user exposure assessment studies at these emerging frequencies. At mmWaves, the power absorption is mainly limited to cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues. Till now, there is no lite...
Cleavage Under Targets & Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) of Histone Modifications in Epidermal Stem Cells of Adult Muri...
Published in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Cleavage Under Targets & Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) has swiftly become the preferred procedure over the past few years for genomic mapping and detecting interactions between chromatin and its bound proteins. CUT&RUN is now being widely used for characterizing the epigenetic landscape in many cell types as it utilizes far less cell numbers whe...
Maintaining and Restoring Gradients of Ions in the Epidermis: The Role of Ion and Water Channels in Acute Cutaneous Woun...
Significance: Aquaporins and ion channels establish and regulate gradients of calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, water, and protons in the epidermis. These elements have been found to play significant roles in skin biology and wound healing. In this study, we review our understanding of these channels and ion gradients, with a special emphasis o...
Dynamics of cutaneous atmospheric oxygen uptake in response to mechanical stretch revealed by optical fiber microsensor
Skin expands and regenerates in response to mechanical stretch. This important homeostasis process is critical for skin biology and can be exploited to generate extra skin for reconstructive surgery. Atmospheric oxygen uptake is important in skin homeostasis. However, whether and how cutaneous atmospheric oxygen uptake changes during mechanical str...
Amphibious epidermal area networks for uninterrupted wireless data and power transfer.
The human body exhibits complex, spatially distributed chemo-electro-mechanical processes that must be properly captured for emerging applications in virtual/augmented reality, precision health, activity monitoring, bionics, and more. A key factor in enabling such applications involves the seamless integration of multipurpose wearable sensors acros...
Cellular clarity: a logistic regression approach to identify root epidermal regulators of iron deficiency response.
Published in BMC genomics
Plants respond to stress through highly tuned regulatory networks. While prior works identified master regulators of iron deficiency responses in A. thaliana from whole-root data, identifying regulators that act at the cellular level is critical to a more comprehensive understanding of iron homeostasis. Within the root epidermis complex molecular m...
HD-Zip IV transcription factors: Drivers of epidermal cell fate integrate metabolic signals.
Published in Current opinion in plant biology
The leaf epidermis comprises the outermost layer of cells that protect plants against environmental stresses such as drought, ultraviolet radiation, and pathogen attack. Research over the past decades highlights the role of class IV homeodomain leucine-zipper (HD-Zip IV) transcription factors (TFs) in driving differentiation of various epidermal ce...
