Density-based modeling and identification of biochemical networks in cell populations [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 In many biological processes heterogeneity within cell populations is an important issue. In this work we consider populations where the behavior of every single cell can be described by a system of ordinary differential equations. Heterogeneity among individual cells is accounted for by differences in parameter values and initial conditions.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The Angiopep‐2 peptide density on polymeric nanoparticles significantly impacts blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration. This study explores this nuanced relationship using various in vitro models and in vivo assays, revealing that dynamic models better predict BBB penetration.

Sepsis is a syndrome with hyperactivity of TH17-like innate immunity and hypoactivity of adaptive immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Currently, there are two major theories for the pathogenesis of sepsis: hyperimmune and hypoimmune. Hyperimmune theory suggests that cytokine storm causes the symptoms of sepsis. On the contrary, hypoimmune theory suggests that immunosuppression causes the manifestations of sepsis.

H2O2‐Generating Advanced Nanomaterials for Cancer Treatment
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.H2O2‐generating nanoplatforms can exploit tumor redox imbalance for O2 and toxic reactive oxygen species generation, leading to hypoxia reversal, and apoptosis of cancer cells, respectively. This review highlights the mechanisms of these nanoplatforms, including exogenous H₂O₂ delivery, endogenous amplification, and metal peroxides, which leads to ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.BX‐001N, a polyethylene glycol‐conjugated bilirubin 3α nanoparticle, is the first GMP‐grade, synthetic bilirubin‐based nanomedicine. It effectively attenuates acute renal injury, facilitates subacute renal recovery, and suppresses chronic fibrosis after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury via anti‐oxidant and immune‐modulating activity.

Neurobiology of Disease, 2003 Abnormal Tau protein is known to be closely associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. Previously, we showed that Tau was cleaved by caspase-3 to generate the cleavage product lacking the C-terminus (ΔTau-1) during neuronal cell death.

Glutathione peroxidase 8 negatively regulates caspase‐4/11 to protect against colitis
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2019 Human caspase‐4 and its mouse homolog caspase‐11 are receptors for cytoplasmic lipopolysaccharide. Activation of the caspase‐4/11‐dependent NLRP3 inflammasome is required for innate defense and endotoxic shock, but how caspase‐4/11 is modulated remains ...
