Motor protein inspired "artificial muscle" actuator
, 2017 In this thesis, the foundation is laid for a new form of artificial muscle, which more closely mimics the structure of skeletal muscle down to its most basic units; motor proteins.

Linear Artificial Molecular Muscles [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2005 Two switchable, palindromically constituted bistable [3]rotaxanes have been designed and synthesized with a pair of mechanically mobile rings encircling a single dumbbell. These designs are reminiscent of a "molecular muscle" for the purposes of amplifying and harnessing molecular mechanical motions.

A conditional mouse model for the characterization of mTORC1 function in muscle and brain [PDF]
, 2010 The Ser/Thr kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates cell growth in response to extracellular stimulation with growth factors and to intracellular factors that sense the nutritional and the energy state of the cell.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...
