Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Transcriptome analysis of the hepatopancreas from the Litopenaeus vannamei infected with different flagellum types of Vibrio alginolyticus strains

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Vibrio alginolyticus, one of the prevalently harmful Vibrio species found in the ocean, causes significant economic damage in the shrimp farming industry. Its flagellum serves as a crucial virulence factor in the invasion of host organisms.

Endogenous mammalian lectin localized extracellularly in lung elastic fibers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
An affinity-purified antibody preparation raised against a beta-galactoside-binding lectin from bovine lung was used to localize a similar lectin in rat lung by immunofluorescence and by electron microscopy after on-grid staining visualized with ...

Human Brain Vasculature‐on‐a‐Chip Model Constructed With Microvessels Isolated From Cryopreserved Postmortem Human Brain Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This manuscript describes the cultivation of viable microvessels from cryopreserved human brain tissue. When embedded in hydrogels and cultured in microfluidic devices, these microvessels exhibit complex architectures reminiscent of arterioles and capillaries, can be perfused, and display intact barrier function. Collectively, these results demonstrate

Turning-off Signaling by Siglecs, Selectins and Galectins: Chemical Inhibition of Glycan-dependent Interactions in Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2016
Aberrant glycosylation, a common feature associated with malignancy, has been implicated in important events during cancer progression. Our understanding of the role of glycans in cancer has grown exponentially in the last few years, concurrent with ...

The structure of CLEC-2: mechanisms of dimerization and higher-order clustering

open access: yesPlatelets, 2021
The platelet C-type lectin-like receptor CLEC-2 drives inflammation-driven venous thrombosis in mouse models of thrombo-inflammatory disease with a minimal effect on hemostasis identifying it as a target for a new class of antiplatelet agent.

Multi-lectin Affinity Chromatography and Quantitative Proteomic Analysis Reveal Differential Glycoform Levels between Prostate Cancer and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Sera. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Currently prostate-specific antigen is used for prostate cancer (PCa) screening, however it lacks the necessary specificity for differentiating PCa from other diseases of the prostate such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), presenting a clinical need

C-type Lectin Receptors for Tumor Eradication: Future Directions [PDF]

open access: yesCancers, 2011
Dendritic cells are key regulators in directing immune responses and therefore are under extensive research for the induction of anti-tumor responses. DCs express a large array of receptors by which they scan their surroundings for recognition and uptake of pathogens.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

A new player in the game: platelet-derived extracellular vesicles in dengue hemorrhagic fever

open access: yesPlatelets, 2020
Thrombocytopenia and vascular leakage are clinical hallmarks in dengue hemorrhagic fever. Sung et al. present a new mechanism where platelet-derived extracellular vesicles participate in increasing vascular permeability during dengue virus infection in ...
