Abstract: Methods, products and kits are provided for attaching agents to a skin surface via microparticles using endogenous or exogenous transglutaminase.

Abstract: Methods, products and kits are provided for attaching agents to body tissues using transglutaminase.

Abstract: Communications received by a user over a communications link include identification information and are processed by: extracting identification information associated with a first received communication; categorizing the first communication and recommending an action based on the categorization; monitoring user response to the first communication; modifying the categorization in accordance with a monitored user response to the first communication, such that when a second communication having identifying information matching that of the first communication is received, the monitored user response is recommended by the categorization.

Abstract: Methods, products and kits are provided for attaching agents to a body tissue surface via microparticles using endogenous or exogenous transglutaminase. The microparticles have surface available transglutaminase substrate reactive groups. In an embodiment, the groups are part of a polymer containing at least two contiguous linked lysines or at least three contiguous linked glutamines.

Abstract: Methods, products, compositions and kits are provided for attaching agents to tissue with a linking molecule in the presence of transglutaminase. The linking molecule and/or agent is a substrate of transglutaminase. The agent can be a nonprotein or an enzyme such as cholinesterase or phosphodiesterase. The transglutaminase may be exogenously added or be endogenous in tissue. In specific embodiments, the agent is not a transglutaminase substrate and the linking molecule is a substrate for transglutaminase containing at least two contiguous linked glutamines or at least three contiguous linked lysines, and may be a polymer. A conjugate of the agent and the linking molecule may be applied to tissue, and in the presence of transglutaminase covalently bonded to the tissue via the linking molecule.

Abstract: Cosmetic compositions containing corneocyte proteins or polypeptides in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle can be used to form a protective layer on skin, hair or nails. The proteins may be crosslinked, thereby forming a protective layer which mimicks the corneal layer of natural skin.
