Identification of Ligand Analogues that Control c-di-GMP Riboswitches [PDF]

ACS Chemical Biology, 2012
Riboswitches for the bacterial second messenger c-di-GMP control the expression of genes involved in numerous cellular processes such as virulence, competence, biofilm formation, and flagella synthesis. Therefore, the two known c-di-GMP riboswitch classes represent promising targets for developing novel modulators of bacterial physiology.

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

2′-Fluoro-c-di-GMP as an oral vaccine adjuvant

RSC Advances, 2019
2′-F-c-di-GMP was synthesized through the modified H-phosphonate chemistry. 2′-F-c-di-GMP was found to be an effective mucosal vaccine adjuvant, both intranasally and orally.

Advances and Strategies in Enhancing mRNA Cancer Vaccines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines offer a powerful approach for cancer immunotherapy, but their clinical impact remains limited by delivery challenges and suboptimal immune activation. This review discusses key biological barriers and design strategies—including structural optimization, immunomodulation, organ targeting delivery, and advanced nanocarriers ...

The Streptomyces master regulator BldD binds c-di-GMP sequentially to create a functional BldD2-(c-di-GMP)4 complex

Nucleic Acids Research, 2017
Streptomyces are ubiquitous soil bacteria that undergo a complex developmental transition coinciding with their production of antibiotics. This transition is controlled by binding of a novel tetrameric form of the second messenger, 3΄-5΄ cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) to the master repressor, BldD.

The Characterization of a Cyclic-Di-GMP (c-Di-GMP) Pathway Leads to a New Tool for Studying c-Di-GMP Metabolic Genes [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2013
Second messengers play an integral role in regulating a wide variety of pathways in response to triggers from the extracellular milieu. The intracellular second messenger cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) has been shown to regulate microbial adaptation to extracellular environments in myriad ways.

Implantable Microarray Patch: Engineering at the Nano and Macro Scale for Sustained Therapeutic Release via Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...
