Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles in Potentiating Cancer Vaccines: Progress and Prospects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) have emerged as versatile platforms for cancer vaccine development owing to their intrinsic immunostimulatory properties and high engineering flexibility. This review summarizes OMV biology, immune mechanisms, and engineering strategies that enhance vaccine efficacy, discusses key translational challenges, and ...

Integration and exchange of split dCas9 domains for transcriptional controls in mammalian cells

Nature Communications, 2016
Molecular engineering of Cas9 has the potential to expand the application of CRISPR-Cas technology. Here, Ma et al. show that dCas9 can be split and reconstituted in human cells and use a domain swapping strategy to engineer custom Cas9-based logic ...

The β‐domain of streptokinase affects several functionalities, including specific/proteolytic activity kinetics

FEBS Open Bio, 2019
Streptokinase (SK) is a plasminogen activator which converts inactive plasminogen (Pg) to active plasmin (Pm), which cleaves fibrin clots. SK secreted by groups A, C, and G Streptococcus (SKA/SKC/SKG) is composed of three domains: SKα, SKβ and SKγ ...

Sensing and Reprogramming Surface Receptor Activation With Synthetic Transcriptional Circuits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A synthetic receptor‐signalling induced transcription (RESIT) circuit is designed based on receptor activation mediated split protease complementation and release of membrane‐tethered synthetic transcriptional modules. The RESIT system enables probing Ca2+ entry, receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activities and Ras activation, and reprogramming RTK ...

Divergent Roles of mGlu2 and mGlu3 Receptors in Amyloid‐β Production and Cognitive Dysfunctions in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

INB3P: A Multi‐Modal and Interpretable Co‐Attention Framework Integrating Property‐Aware Explanations and Memory‐Bank Contrastive Fusion for Blood–Brain Barrier Penetrating Peptide Discovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
INB3P is a multimodal framework for blood–brain barrier‐penetrating peptide prediction under extreme data scarcity and class imbalance. By combining physicochemical‐guided augmentation, sequence–structure co‐attention, and imbalance‐aware optimization, it improves predictive performance and interpretability.

Enhanced Antifungal Activity of Engineered Proteins via Swapping between Thioredoxin H2 and H3

Applied Sciences, 2019
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are proteins that act as antioxidants by facilitating the reduction of other proteins and are highly conserved in all organisms. Plant H-type Trx isoforms have different structures and perform multiple functions. Previous studies have

Efficient Monte Carlo Methods for Cyclic Peptides

, 1999
We present a new, biased Monte Carlo scheme for simulating complex, cyclic peptides. Backbone atoms are equilibrated with a biased rebridging scheme, and side-chain atoms are equilibrated with a look-ahead configurational bias Monte Carlo.
