Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Mitochondrial targeted prodrug nanoparticles for chemo-photodynamic combinational tumour therapy
Smart Materials in MedicineProdrug nanoparticles have been explored as an effective means for drug delivery because of controlled drug release in a stimulus-responsive manner. Organellar-targeted drug delivery could enhance the efficacy of cancer therapy. Herein, pH and light dual

Localized Beams and Dielectric Barriers
, 2008 Recalling the similarities between the Maxwell equations for a transverse electric wave in a stratified medium and the quantum mechanical Schroedinger equation in a piece-wise potential, we investigate the analog of the so called particle limit in ...

Energy barriers for diffusion on stepped Rh(111) surfaces
, 1999 Energy barriers for different moves of a single Rh adatom in the vicinity of steps on Rh(111) surface are studied with molecular statics. Interatomic interactions are modeled by the semi-empirical many-body Rosato-Guillope-Legrand potential. We calculate

HIV‐1 establishes immediate latency in T cells expressing the viral Nef protein
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Nef is a viral protein often omitted from HIV‐1 reporter viruses. Consequently, its role in viral latency is unclear. We developed three novel dual reporter HIV‐1 derivatives that express Nef and allow for detection of latent and productive infection. Using these reporters, we show that Nef does not affect the establishment of immediate viral latency ...

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.
