Controlling Release Kinetics of an Adjuvant from a Depot Improves the Efficacy of Local Immunotherapy in Metastatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We show that intratumoral release of an immunotherapy—CpG —can be tuned with molecular precision by complexing it to an elastin‐like polypeptide (ELP). Injecting ELP‐CpG and an excipient ELP into tumors drives thermally‐triggered phase separation into a micro‐scale “sponge” depot that releases CpG at rates depending on the ELP composition, which ...

Controlling Assembly of Hybrid DNA Nanostructures into Higher‐Order Structures via Hydrophobicity

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We harness hydrophobic interactions, fundamental in biology yet underutilized in DNA nanotechnology, to build a design framework for hierarchical DNA assemblies. By conjugating small hydrophobic molecules to DNA motifs, we controlled the formation of higher‐order structures, moving beyond traditional Watson–Crick pairing.

Endogenous mammalian lectin localized extracellularly in lung elastic fibers. [PDF]

, 1984
An affinity-purified antibody preparation raised against a beta-galactoside-binding lectin from bovine lung was used to localize a similar lectin in rat lung by immunofluorescence and by electron microscopy after on-grid staining visualized with ...

Role of elastin anisotropy in structural strain energy functions of arterial tissue [PDF]

, 2018
The vascular wall exhibits nonlinear anisotropic mechanical properties. The identification of a strain energy function (SEF) is the preferred method to describe its complex nonlinear elastic properties. Earlier constituent-based SEF models, where elastin

Modulating Macrophage–Nucleus Pulposus Cell Crosstalk via Sequential Drug Delivery Attenuates Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The G‐CS/MSN drug delivery system enhances intervertebral disc repair through sequential drug release. Abstract Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is characterized by an inflammatory environment and dysregulation of the extracellular matrix metabolism (ECM).

The Beneficial Regulation of Extracellular Matrix and Heat Shock Proteins, and the Inhibition of Cellular Oxidative Stress Effects and Inflammatory Cytokines by 1α, 25 dihydroxyvitaminD3 in Non-Irradiated and Ultraviolet Radiated Dermal Fibroblasts

Cosmetics, 2019
Intrinsic skin aging and photoaging, from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are associated with altered regulation of genes associated with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and inflammation, as well as cellular damage from oxidative stress.
