Extracellular Vesicles‐Based Biological Macromolecule Delivery Systems: Biogenesis, Characterization, and Emerging Clinical Applications

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membrane‐bound structures that play a pivotal role in intercellular communication by transporting bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and organelles, between cells. Originating from the endosomal pathway, EVs reflect the physiological and pathological status of their parent

Precision Chemistry for Protein Lysine Modification

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Selective modification of lysine residues is challenging due to their similar intrinsic reactivity. Inspired by enzymatic recognition, ligand‐guided electrophiles enable site‐selective labeling and functionalization, while ligand‐guided catalyses achieve regioselective installation of bio‐relevant post‐translational modifications.

C-Type Lectin Receptors in Host Defense

Annual Review of Immunology
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) present on myeloid cells provide crucial signals for the induction of innate and adaptive immune responses. Their broad ligand specificity places them in a perfect position to sense both microbial intruders and signs of tissue injury or cell death.
