OBJECTIVE: Osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage degeneration and cartilage destruction in
rheumatoid arthritis depends significantly on enzymatic degradation of cartilage proteoglycan …

The immunosuppressive effects of the fungal metabolite cyclosporin A (CsA) are mediated
primarily by binding to cyclophilins (Cyps). The resulting CsA–Cyp complex inhibits the Ca 2+ …

The trigger factor is associated with bacterial ribosomes and catalyzes proline-limited protein
folding reactions. Its folding activity is very high and conserved in evolution, as shown for …

Peptidyl‐prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) catalyze the isomerization of prolyl peptide
bonds. Distinct families of this class of enzymes are involved in protein folding in vitro, …

Objective. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been reported to be present in articular
cartilage and to be a potentially important inducing factor of anabolic and catabolic activity in …

Lithium-ion batteries are promising energy storage devices for electric vehicles and renewable
energy systems. However, due to complex electrochemical processes, potential safety …

Electrochemical energy storage systems play an important role in diverse applications, such
as electrified transportation and integration of renewable energy with the electrical grid. To …
