Novel Bioconjugate Materials: Synthesis, Characterization and Medical Applications

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the bioconjugation of novel materials grouped under “biological”, “hybrid” and “synthetic” categories. Medical applications ranging from cancer therapy and diagnostics to optogenetics and tissue engineering are explored, and conjugation trends are highlighted as a general guide. The review concludes with a comparison of techniques

Antibody control and immunopathogenesis of viral infection

, 2018
Across the animal kingdom, multivalency discriminates antibodies from all other immunoglobulin superfamily members. The evolutionary forces conserving multivalency above any other structural hallmark of antibodies remain, however, ill-defined. Here we have used antibody engineering techniques to investigate mechanisms of protection of neutralizing and ...

Fluid Shear‐Controlled Pro/Anti‐Inflammatory Osteomodulatory Construct for Drug‐Free Immune Activation Through Cationic Ion Channel Activation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed PCL scaffold coated with Arginine was laminated with electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers containing cationic cellulose nanocrystals (PVA@cCNC). This created nanoisland‐like regions of aligned and random cCNC‐rich fibers. The composite scaffold, under fluid shear stimulation, modulated macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 ...

Cortical Response to Acute Implantation of the Utah Optrode Array in Macaque Cortex

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Delivering light deep into the brain over a large volume while causing minimal tissue damage is a major challenge for non‐human primate optogenetics. This study evaluates Utah Optrode Array designs in vivo, revealing how changes in shank geometry, surface texture, and insertion parameters minimize acute damage—offering a path toward high‐precision ...
