No better time to FRET: shedding light on host pathogen interactions [PDF]

, 2010
Understanding the spatio-temporal subversion of host cell signaling by bacterial virulence factors is key to combating infectious diseases. Following a recent study by Buntru and co-workers published in BMC Biology, we review how fluorescence (Forster ...

Intelligent Programmable Membrane Nanosponge for Early Virus Blocking

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A smart programmable nanosponge (ACNPs) displays high‐density viral receptors on its membrane and encapsulates fusion inhibitors to capture virions at the infection source through competitive binding and blocks their entry through protease inhibition for ultra‐early cascade interception. This modular, mucus‐penetrating platform shifts antiviral defence

Heterodimerization of Mu Opioid Receptor Protomer with Dopamine D₂ Receptor Modulates Agonist-Induced Internalization of Mu Opioid Receptor

Biomolecules, 2019
The interplay between the dopamine (DA) and opioid systems in the brain is known to modulate the additive effects of substances of abuse. On one hand, opioids serve mankind by their analgesic properties, which are mediated via the mu opioid receptor (MOR)

Degrading GPX4 via Biomimetic Nanoparticle‐Mediated In Situ Synthesis of Deep‐Learning‐Designed Binder‐Degron Chimeras for Prostate Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A deep‐learning‐designed binder is fused to a combinatorial degron to create a binder‐degron chimera (bdC) that recruits the CUL2‐RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Encapsulation in a prostate‐cancer‐targeted, CD47‐camouflaged nanocarrier enables tumor‐specific in situ bdC expression, triggering GPX4 degradation and ferroptosis, thereby establishing a ...

ATP- and Adenosine-Mediated Signaling in the Central Nervous System: Purinergic Receptor Complex: Generating Adenine Nucleotide-Sensitive Adenosine Receptors

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
Adenosine A1 receptors (A1R) are able to form a heteromeric complex with P2Y1 receptors (P2Y1R) that generates A1R with P2Y1R-like agonistic pharmacology.

Plasmon-Resonance-Energy-Transfer-Based Spectroscopy on Single Nanoparticles: Biomolecular Recognition and Enzyme Kinetics

, 2018
The small absorption cross sections of most molecules led to the low sensitivity of traditional optical absorption spectroscopy. This obstacle might be overcome by applying the near-field plasmon resonance energy transfer (PRET) between plasmonic ...
