A localized transition in the size variation of circular DNA in nanofluidic slitlike confinement
AIP Advances, 2013 We report strong evidence for a localized transition in the size variation of circular DNA between strong and moderate regimes of slitlike confinement. A novel and rigorous statistical analysis was applied to our recent experimental measurements of DNA ...

Structural and Chemical Engineering of Sub‐Nanochannel Membranes Toward Ion Selectivity
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review summarizes recent advances in structural and chemical engineering of sub‐nanochannels for ion selectivity. We first introduce fundamental ion transport mechanisms within sub‐nanochannels, followed by strategies to tune pore size, geometry, and surface functionalities, categorized into charge‐based, ion‐recognition, hydrophilic bonding, and ...

Retroviral intasomes search for a target DNA by 1D diffusion which rarely results in integration
Nature Communications, 2016 Retroviral Integration into the host DNA is a rare event with evidence suggesting that it relies on DNA topology and sequence. Here the authors present single molecule evidence that shows the retroviral integration machinery vigorously scans the target ...

Quinolones: Mechanism, Lethality and Their Contributions to Antibiotic Resistance
Molecules, 2020 Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are arguably among the most successful antibiotics of recent times. They have enjoyed over 30 years of clinical usage and become essential tools in the armoury of clinical treatments. FQs target the bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase and

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The nanostructure, size, and function of mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles are evaluated before drying, within polymer microneedles, and after rehydration. The results reveal the polymer and LNP loadings required to recover nanostructure and preserve the delivery performance in dry‐state formulations.

Preferential binding of hot spot mutant p53 proteins to supercoiled DNA in vitro and in cells.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Hot spot mutant p53 (mutp53) proteins exert oncogenic gain-of-function activities. Binding of mutp53 to DNA is assumed to be involved in mutp53-mediated repression or activation of several mutp53 target genes.

FEDS: a Novel Fluorescence-Based High-Throughput Method for Measuring DNA Supercoiling
mBio, 2020 DNA supercoiling (DS) is essential for life because it controls critical processes, including transcription, replication, and recombination. Current methods to measure DNA supercoiling in vivo are laborious and unable to examine single cells.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...
