The Anisotropic Adsorption of De Novo Allosteric Two‐Component Protein Fibers on Mica Surfaces
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this study, the interfacial behavior of de novo designed proteins that self‐assemble into tubular architectures with distinct morphologies — small (S), large (L), and helical (H) fibers — at the muscovite mica‐water interface is explored using in situ AFM. Abstract Protein adsorption at solid–liquid interfaces underlies many biomedical and materials

A Heparin‐Functionalized Scaffold with HB‐EGF Immobilization for Tissue Engineering
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.In this study, a heparin‐functionalized scaffold is designed for bio‐mimicking growth factors reservoir function of extracellular matrix. Due to the presence of heparin‐binding domain, heparin‐binding epidermal growth factor‐like growth factor (HB‐EGF) is effectively and spatially captured by heparin‐functionalized scaffold.
