Formation of Microcages from a Collagen Mimetic Peptide via Metal-Ligand Interactions

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Here, the hierarchical assembly of a collagen mimetic peptide (CMP) displaying four bipyridine moieties is described. The CMP was capable of forming triple helices followed by self-assembly into disks and domes.

Evaluating the effect of γ‐oryzanol on MASLD pathology using a medaka fish model

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores a liver disease called MASLD, which is increasing worldwide and can lead to serious damage. Researchers used medaka fish instead of rodents to test a food compound, γ‐oryzanol. Fish fed this compound had less liver fat and healthier gut bacteria.

ATP‐Mediated Bidirectional Communication Between Natural and Artificial Cells for Controlled Bioreactions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Establishment of bidirectional communication behavior between natural and artificial cells. The first type of communication from natural dendritic cells to artificial polymeric cells was achieved via ATP release after cell lysis. The released ATP was taken up via gated UV‐controlled permeability increase of the polymeric membrane for performing ...

Dextran fouling of polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranesâCauses, extent and consequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In a recent paper [Susanto, Ulbricht, J. Membr. Sci. 266 (2005) 132], we showed that dextran does foul polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) membranes by contact of the solution with the membrane surface without flux through the membrane.

Investigation of the spatiotemporal responses of nanoparticles in tumor tissues with a small-scale mathematical model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The transport and accumulation of anticancer nanodrugs in tumor tissues are affected by many factors including particle properties, vascular density and leakiness, and interstitial diffusivity.

The C-Terminal Domain of Liquorilactobacillus nagelii Dextransucrase Mediates the Production of Larger Dextrans Compared to Liquorilactobacillus hordei

open access: yesGels, 2022
Dextransucrases released by certain lactic acid bacteria form glucose polymers with predominantly α-1,6-linkages and may be exploited biotechnologically for the tailored production of polysaccharides with application potential.

High‐Efficiency Quantum Defect Generation in Carbon Nanotubes via Oxygen‐Free Photochemistry

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We show that oxygen plays an important role in quantum defect formation in carbon nanotubes and identify reaction conditions to create a range of different quantum defects for photonics and biosensing. ABSTRACT Single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) offer potential for a wide range of applications from optoelectronic devices to biomedical diagnostics.

Glomerular and postglomerular permselectivity to anionic dextrans in the dog

open access: yes, 1984
Glomerular (G) and postglomerular (PG) capillary permselectivity to anionic dextran markers was investigated using the multiple-indicator-dilution (MID) technique in anesthetized mongrel dogs (n = 14).

Th17 Cytokines Disrupt the Airway Mucosal Barrier in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2016
Cytokine mediated changes in paracellular permeability contribute to a multitude of pathological conditions including chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of interferons and of Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines
