Controllable biomimetic birdsong [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2017
Birdsong is the product of the controlled generation of sound embodied in a neuromotor system. From a biophysical perspective, a natural question is that of the difficulty of producing birdsong. To address this, we built a biomimetic syrinx consisting of a stretched simple rubber tube through which air is blown, subject to localized mechanical ...

Localized co-delivery of collagenase and trastuzumab by thermosensitive hydrogels for enhanced antitumor efficacy in human breast xenograft

Drug Delivery, 2018
Modulation of the collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) in solid tumors by the treatment with collagenase has been proved effective in enhancement of the interstitial transport and antitumor efficacy of antibodies.

Therapeutic potential of targeting membrane-spanning proteoglycan SDC4 in hepatocellular carcinoma

Cell Death and Disease, 2021
Syndecan-4 (SDC4) functions as a major endogenous membrane-associated receptor and widely regulates cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, and cell migration in human tumorigenesis and development, which represents a charming anti-cancer therapeutic target.

Icaritin Provokes Serum Thrombopoietin and Downregulates Thrombopoietin/MPL of the Bone Marrow in a Mouse Model of Immune Thrombocytopenia

Mediators of Inflammation, 2018
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a common acquired autoimmune disease, and thrombopoietin (TPO) is an important cytokine that regulates the production of megakaryocytes and platelets.

Functional characterization and structural bases of two class I diterpene synthases in pimarane-type diterpene biosynthesis

Communications Chemistry, 2021
Pimaranes are diterpenoid natural products with poorly characterised biosynthetic pathways. Here pimaranetype diterpenoid synthases are functionally and structurally characterised and shown to exploit distinct modes of intermediate stabilisation.
