De Novo Design of Integrin α5β1 Modulating Proteins to Enhance Biomaterial Properties

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
NeoNectins are de novo‐designed miniproteins that selectively bind and stabilize the extended open form of integrin α5β1. When grafted onto biomaterials including hydrogel and titanium, they promote cell attachment and spreading in vitro and promoting tissue integration and bone growth in animal models, demonstrating broad potential for regenerative ...

Impact of a small artificial water source on the diversity of odonates (Insecta : Odonata) in an urban landscape [PDF]

Arthropods, 2021
Rapid urbanisation is mainly responsible for the degradation and fragmentation of natural ecosystems in urban areas. Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) constitute an important part of urban biodiversity.

First results from the Dragonfly Telephoto Array: the apparent lack of a stellar halo in the massive spiral galaxy M101

, 2014
We use a new telescope concept, the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, to study the low surface brightness outskirts of the spiral galaxy M101. The radial surface brightness profile is measured down to mu_g ~ 32 mag/arcsec^2, a depth that approaches the ...

Alnustone Ameliorates Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease by Facilitating Mitochondrial Fatty Acid β‐Oxidation via Targeting Calmodulin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies alnustone, a natural compound from Alpinia katsumadai, as a potent therapeutic agent for MASLD and MASH. Alnustone enhances mitochondrial fatty acid β‐oxidation by directly targeting calmodulin, improving liver steatosis, fibrosis, and insulin resistance in vivo.

Testosterone Delays Bone Microstructural Destruction via Osteoblast‐Androgen Receptor‐Mediated Upregulation of Tenascin‐C

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that Testosterone–Androgen Receptor signaling delays elderly male bone destruction by upregulation of the osteoblastic extracellular tenascin‐C (TNC). The osteoprotective effect of fibrinogen C‐terminus of TNC is demonstrated in male osteoporotic mice model that osteoblast‐specific Ar‐knockout, potentially via inhibition of ...
