Abstract: Skin graft methods are provided. Aspects of the methods include applying a skin graft to a wound in combination with a mechanotransduction blocker, such as a pharmacological mechanotransduction blocker, e.g., a focal adhesion kinase inhibitor. Also provided are compositions and kits for use practicing methods of the invention.

Abstract: Methods are described herein for facilitating tissue regeneration in humans and other large organisms, and kits therefor. Application of an inhibitor of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) to injured tissue may reduce fibrosis and/or scarring during the wound healing process. Patient care for a large number of fibrotic diseases which affect organ function may be ameliorated by such treatment. Kits for application of the FAK inhibitor may include a hydrogel formulation encapsulating the FAK inhibitor.

Abstract: Panchromatic photosensitizers having a Formula of ML1L2X were synthesized, wherein M represents ruthenium atom; X represents a monodentate anion; L1 is heterocyclic bidentate ligand having one of formulae listed below: wherein G2 has one of formulae listed below: and L2 is a tridentate ligand having a formula listed below: Substituents R1, R2, R3 and R4 of L1 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, amino-group alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino, halogenated alkyl, phenyl and substituted phenyl group. Substituents R5, R6 and R7 of L2 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of carboxylic, carboxylate, sulfonic acid, sulfonate, phosphoric acid and phosphate. The above-mentioned photosensitizers are suitable to use as sensitizers for fabrication of high efficiency dye-sensitized solar cell.
