Drug delivery to solid tumors by elastin-like polypeptides [PDF]

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2010
Thermally responsive elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are a promising class of recombinant biopolymers for the delivery of drugs and imaging agents to solid tumors via systemic or local administration. This article reviews four applications of ELPs to drug delivery, with each delivery mechanism designed to best exploit the relationship between the ...

Ocular Manifestations of Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus Infection in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eyes are essential sensory organs needed by teleost Atlantic salmon for high visual acuity and survival in both the wild and in aquaculture settings. In this work, we assessed the ocular manifestations of Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus (ISAV) infection in Atlantic salmon by a cohabitation‐mediated infection assay and histological and ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Elastin‐Like Polypeptides as a Purification Tag for Recombinant Proteins [PDF]

Current Protocols in Protein Science, 2010
AbstractThis unit presents a recombinant protein purification method that employs an elastin‐like polypeptide (ELP) as a purification tag. ELPs undergo a sharp and reversible phase transition when heated above their lower critical solution temperature.

Design and Immunogenicity of a Nanoparticle Combination Vaccine for Salmonella in Poultry

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salmonella enterica serovars (Salmonella) are common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis (salmonellosis) often associated with the consumption of poultry products. The control of Salmonella in broiler chickens is difficult because colonized birds may carry this pathogen undetected into the slaughterhouse and cause meat contamination.

Bioorthogonal Elastin-like Polypeptide Scaffolds for Immunoassay Enhancement [PDF]

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018
Artificial multiprotein complexes are sought after reagents for biomolecular engineering. A current limiting factor is the paucity of molecular scaffolds which allow for site-specific multicomponent assembly. Here, we address this limitation by synthesizing bioorthogonal elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) scaffolds containing periodic noncanonical l ...

Technologies for engineering repetitive DNA

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Repetitive DNA, a fundamental architectural element of genomes, is widespread across organisms and comprises about 54% of the human genome. With advances in long‐read sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, highly repetitive sequences can now be characterized in depth.

Deep Mutational Scanning for the Study and Engineering of Protein Assemblies

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review explores how deep mutational scanning (DMS) can be used to improve understanding and accelerate engineering of protein assemblies, from natural fibers to engineered nanocages. We discuss various types of protein assemblies and their characterization, provide an introduction to the DMS technique, and then highlight examples in which DMS has ...
