Roles for Exosomes in the Pathogenesis, Drug Delivery and Therapy of Psoriasis by Yuchao Chen, Huazhen Liu, Yuming He, Bin Yang, Weihui Lu, Zhenhua Dai

“…Especially, engineered exosomes may serve as drug delivery systems for effective delivery of proteins, nucleic acids or other drugs due to their low immunogenicity, good stability and ability to fuse with target cells. Therefore, investigation into the mechanisms underlying intercellular communications mediated by exosomes in skin lesions likely helps design drugs for therapy of psoriasis. …”

Association of urban green and blue space with accelerated ageing: A cohort Study in the UK Biobank by YiNi Wang, XinYu Shi, Fei Yang, ShengYuan Wang, TianShu Han, Kun Ma

“…Results: After controlling for random effects and various types of covariates, we found that 1) populations with higher levels of UGBS exposure are associated with accelerated ageing and slowing down; 2) UGBS has the greatest impact on accelerated ageing within a 1000-m street network buffer distance; 3) Participants living in heavily polluted areas should pay more attention to UGBS; 4) Intermediary analysis found that UGBS mainly accelerates aging by reducing harm, rather than affecting the population's ability to recover and build. Conclusions: UGBS with a composite weighted score showed a better correlation with accelerated ageing than green spaces. …”
