Percutaneous implants are a family of devices that penetrate the skin and suffer from infection-mediated device failure caused by lack of integration/adhesion at the skin/device …
Opsins are members of the rhodopsin G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) family that mediate phototransduction in both invertebrates and vertebrates. More specifically, humans have nine types …
The mammalian opsin family of light-sensitive G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) includes retinal pigments like rhodopsin (OPN2) and cone opsins (OPN1), which mediate vision, as well …
Two major concerns with intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prostheses (ITAP) are lack of integration between the bone and metal interface and poor skin growth around the …
We performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of lightly versus darkly pigmented human epidermal melanocytes (HEMs) using high throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). We identified 16 genes …
Exposure of human skin to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), a powerful carcinogen comprising ~95% UVA wavelengths (320-400 nm) and 5% UVB wavelengths (280-320 nm) at …
