Dipeptide-Based Photoreactive Instant Glue for Environmental and Biomedical Applications.
Nature-inspired smart materials offer numerous advantages over environmental friendliness and efficiency. Emulating the excellent adhesive properties of mussels foot proteins, where the lysine is in close proximity with the 3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (DOPA), we report the synthesis of a novel photocurable peptide-based adhesive consisting exclusively of these two amino acids. Our adhesive is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of a monomer, a cross-linker, and a photoinitiator. Lap-shear adhesion measurements on plastic and glass surfaces and comparison with different types of commercial adhesives showed that the adhesive strength of our glue is comparable when applied in air and superior when used underwater. No toxicity of our adhesive was observed when the cytocompatibility on human dermal fibroblast cells was assessed. Preliminary experiments with various tissues and coral fragments showed that our adhesive could be applied to wound healing and coral reef restoration. Given the convenience of the facile synthesis, biocompatibility, ease of application underwater, and high adhesive strength, we expect that our adhesive may find application, but not limited, to the biomedical and environmental field.Panayiotis Bilalis, Abdulelah Α Alrashoudi, Hepi H Susapto, Manola Moretti, Salwa Alshehri, Sherin Abdelrahman, Amr Elsakran, Charlotte A E Hauser

IRF8 in Conjunction With CD123 and CD20 to Distinguish Lupus Erythematosus Panniculitis From Subcutaneous Panniculitis-like T-Cell Lymphoma.
Distinguishing lupus erythematosus panniculitis (LEP) from subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a diagnostic challenge with important clinical implications. Immunohistochemical expression of interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) has been shown to highlight cells with plasmacytoid dendritic cell differentiation. Considering that the presence of plasmacytoid dendritic cells highlighted by CD123 immunolabeling is a well-described feature that supports LEP over SPTCL, we hypothesized that IRF8 immunohistochemistry can be used as a diagnostic test to improve accuracy in differentiating LEP from SPTCL. In this study, we assessed the expression of IRF8, CD123, and CD20 in 35 cutaneous biopsies from 31 distinct patients, which included 22 cases of LEP and 13 cases of SPTCL. We found that clusters of IRF8-positive cells within the dermis, and away from subcutaneous fat, could discriminate LEP from SPTCL (P=0.005). Similarly, CD123-positive clusters in any location were observed in LEP but absent in all cases of SPTCL. In addition, we found that dermal CD20-predominant lymphoid aggregates could help discriminate LEP from SPTCL (P=0.022). As individual assays, IRF8, CD123, and CD20 were highly specific (100%, 100%, and 92%, respectively) though poorly sensitive (45%, 29%, and 50%, respectively). However, a panel combining IRF8, CD123, and CD20, with at least 1 positive marker was more accurate than any individual marker by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Our study provides a rationale for potentially including IRF8 as part of an immunohistochemical panel composed of other currently available markers used to differentiate LEP from SPTCL.Jahg Wong, Simon F Roy, Jennifer M McNiff, Mina L Xu

Acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation: an overview of the recent updates.
Acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation (ADMH), previously known as macular pigmentation of uncertain etiology (MPUE), is an umbrella concept that unifies the distinct but overlapping acquired dermal pigmentary disorders like lichen planus pigmentosus, ashy dermatosis, erythema dyschromicum perstans, Riehl's melanosis and pigmented contact dermatitis. All of these disorders usually lack a clinically apparent inflammatory phase, are characterised by dermal pigmentation clinically and histologically, and have a variable protracted disease course. Recently, a proposal has been made to classify these disorders into those with and without contact sensitisation. Dermoscopy is essentially similar across the spectrum of these disorders, and is useful for diagnosis and therapeutic response monitoring. Scoring system has been validated for the same. The treatment of ADMH remains challenging, with multiple topicals, oral therapies including mycophenolate mofetil, and lasers tried. Need of the hour is randomised controlled trials to enhance the therapeutic armamentarium.Shikha Shah, Narayanan Baskaran, Keshavamurthy Vinay, Anuradha Bishnoi, Davinder Parsad, Muthu S Kumaran

Allometric scaling of skin weight and thickness to body weight in relation to taxonomic orders and habitats in mammals.
Skin is the largest organ in a mammal body, and it exhibits most significant range of adaptations to different habitats. It is a complex, biological composite structure, consisting of epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissues and is used for the therapeutic application of medical devices to improve healthcare. Extensive studies have been performed on the roles of the skin; however, little is known on its physiological characteristics in relation to body size among different species. The purpose of this study was therefore to evaluate the allometric scaling of skin weight (SW) and thickness (ST) to body weight (BW) in relation to genetics and habitats. Also analysed the relationship of BW to thicknesses of epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissues. This study used 249 adult animals of both sexes, belonging to 144 species, clustered in 18 taxonomic orders and five types of habitats. The animals were obtained from various sources in Japan. SW and BW were weighed, and ST was measured using a calliper followed by data analysis. Results showed that SW and ST were related to BW [log SW = 0.969 × logBW - 0636, adjust. R : 0.975]. The BW increased with increasing skin dermal thickness (y = 0.3916x + 1.5253, adjust. R : 0.6921), slightly with epidermal thickness (y = 0.2495x + 0.3984, adjust. R : 0.3402), but not all with the thickness of subcutaneous tissues (y = 0.1454x + 2.2437, adjust. R : 0.0752). The ratio of SW to BW (SW/BW) distributed over a large range from 0.06 to 0.64 values and varied among animal taxonomic orders and their dwelling habitats. Close relationship of BW to SW/BW was observed in species weighing ≥200 g but not in species weighing <200 g. In conclusion, SW and ST in mammals are determined by BW. The SW/BW varies based on BW, taxonomic orders and habitat and is large in small mammals weighing ≥200 g to provide a mechanism used for survival strategy.Naomi Wada, Saki Ushiroda, Ran Satoh, Masashi Sakurai, Shinichiro Kawada, Claudius Luziga, Hiroshi Ichikawa

eNOS Regulates Lymphatic Valve Specification by Controlling β-Catenin Signaling During Embryogenesis in Mice.
Lymphatic valves play a critical role in ensuring unidirectional lymph transport. Loss of lymphatic valves or dysfunctional valves are associated with several diseases including lymphedema, lymphatic malformations, obesity, and ileitis. Lymphatic valves first develop during embryogenesis in response to mechanotransduction signaling pathways triggered by oscillatory lymph flow. In blood vessels, eNOS (endothelial NO synthase; gene name: ) is a well-characterized shear stress signaling effector, but its role in lymphatic valve development remains unexplored.Drishya Iyer, Diandra M Mastrogiacomo, Kunyu Li, Richa Banerjee, Ying Yang, Joshua P Scallan
