A Redox-Switchable Supramolecular Carbohydrate Chip for Capture and Real-Time Glycosylation Analysis of Living Suspension Cells

Biomolecules
Real-time analysis of aberrant glycosylation on living suspension cancer cells is critical for early cancer detection and therapeutic development, yet the lack of non-destructive immobilization methods for these cells limits the advancement of cell-based

Use of Natural Fibers for Enhancing Polymeric Materials

28th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE 2020), 2020
In the framework of the AGROinLOG European Project (Grant Agreement No 727961) from Horizon 2020, the potential to produce biomaterials with the fodder surplus during the agroindustry idle periods has been studied. Different value-added bio-composites based on a matrix of polypropylene and reinforced with natural fibers from wheat and corn straw were ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

First-principles study of Y2CCl2 and Janus Y2CClX (X = F, Br, I) MXenes for photovoltaic applications

Scientific Reports
Two-dimensional (2D) Janus MXenes offer a promising platform for photovoltaic (PV) absorbers, as asymmetric surface terminations can simultaneously tailor band gaps, optical response, and built-in electric field, which promote charge carrier separation ...

Preparation of Glutathione-Responsive Paclitaxel Prodrug Based on Endogenous Molecule of L-Glutathione Oxidized for Cancer Therapy

Pharmaceutics
Using an endogenous carrier is the best method to address the biocompatibility of carriers in the drug delivery field. Herein, we prepared a glutathione-responsive paclitaxel prodrug micelle based on an endogenous molecule of L-glutathione oxidized (GSSG)

Acoustic enhancement of diffusion in a porous material

Ultrasonics, 2003
Lattice Boltzmann simulations are used to model the enhancement of diffusion which results from Eckart (attenuation driven) acoustic streaming in model porous material. Comparisons are made to Fickian diffusion where no flow is present and the diffusion when a fluid jet is used, which represents a more conventional method of enhancement.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Kinetics in Mg-based hydrogen storage materials: Enhancement and mechanism

Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2019
Mg-based materials have been intensively studied for hydrogen storage applications due to their high energy density up to 2600 Wh/kg or 3700 Wh/L. However, the Mg-based materials with poor kinetics and the necessity for a high temperature to achieve 0.1 ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...
