Initial Distance‐Dependent Mean Force Drives Synaptic Vesicle Motion Toward Fusion Sites in Stimulated Hippocampal Neurons

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Synaptic vesicle (SV) motion and exocytosis dynamics in the presynaptic terminals of live neurons are intimately linked to synaptic transmission during neuronal activity. In this work, it is revealed that, during electrical stimulation, SVs located farther from their fusion sites exhibit greater straightness and experience larger mean forces directed ...

Compartmentalization and Aggregation of Biomolecular Condensates in Crowded Hydrogels for Enhanced Nucleic Acid Diagnosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A cell‐mimetic hydrogel compartment is proposed to enhance the efficiency of enzymatic reactions. The naturally porous structure of a crowded hydrogel can simulate the intracellular microenvironment, promoting the aggregation of biomolecules and activity of DNA polymerase through excluded volume effects and compartmentalization.

Insect I‐Type Lysozymes Function as Antiviral Proteases by Forming Biomolecular Condensates

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon rice viral infection, the insect vector activates the Toll–MyD88–Dorsal signaling cascade, inducing i‐type lysozyme (Lyz‐I1) expression. Lyz‐I1 functions as an antiviral protease through its conserved catalytic dyad Glu/Asp (E/D), mediating cleavage of viral proteins at specific Lys (K) residues.

Microcondensate‐Mediated Intracellular Infusion of mRNA Across the Plasma Membrane

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The delivery of mRNA without lipid nanoparticles remains challenging. FcB(L17E)3‐driven microcondensates with nucleic acids, aided by short ssDNA, enable coacervate formation, actin‐dependent cytosolic infusion, and in vivo protein expression, offering a potential platform for next‐generation mRNA therapeutics and vaccination.

Preservation of Complex Multiphase Architectures in Polymer‐Based Artificial Cells by Photo‐Crosslinking

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Phase separation organizes cellular components, yet stabilizing such dynamic structures in artificial cells remains challenging. A photo‐crosslinking approach is presented that prolongs the lifetime of different structures in coacervate‐based artificial cells while maintaining dynamic formation.

Membrane‐Penetrating Molecular Device Based on a Triplex Containing Acyclic L‐Threoninol Nucleic Acid Functionalized with Cholesterol

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A membrane‐penetrating molecular device composed of triplex containing cholesterol‐modified acyclic L‐threoninol nucleic acid (L‐aTNA) was achieved. This device is applied to a photo‐triggered signal transduction system functioning on giant unilamellar vesicles. Abstract Membrane‐penetrating molecular devices are valuable biological tools.

Targeting G3BP1 Condensate Topology Promotes Stress Granule Assembly via m6A‐IGF2BP1 for Ischemic Stroke Rescue

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Our research reveals that small‐molecule icariin (ICA) directly binds Ras‐GTPase‐activating protein SH3 domain‐binding protein 1 (G3BP1), inducing conformational change and oligomerization. This interaction confers neuroprotection by recruiting insulin‐like growth factor 2 mRNA‐binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) and modulating N6‐methyladenosine (m6A ...

Osmotic Tension Asymmetry Drives Electrotactic Migration via PDLIM7‐Polarized Microfilament Coordination in Breast Cancer Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes an electric field‐induced directional migration model using fluorescence tension probes to visualize microfilament forces and intracellular osmotic pressure dynamics in the electrotactic migration of breast cancer cells. This model delineates how electromechanical interactions among membrane potential, ion channels, OP, traction ...
