Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A series of ultraviolet‐ and near‐infrared radiation sensitive photoactivatable hydrogels are developed that can be controlled spatiotemporally down to µm precisions using one‐ and two‐photon uncaging. The latent hydroxylamine‐, hydrazine‐, and amine uncaged moieties are used to photopattern a series of diverse proteins displaying complimentary ...

Human milk oligosaccharide, 2′-Fucosyllactose, attenuates platelet activation in arterial thrombosis
Journal of Functional Foods, 2022 The ingestion of supplemental human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) is associated with a lower risk of inflammatory diseases and infections. However, whether HMOs play an important role in regulating platelet aggregation and thrombus formation remains ...

An alphaherpesvirus exploits antimicrobial beta-defensins to initiate respiratory tract infection [PDF]
, 2020 beta-Defensins protect the respiratory tract against the myriad of microbial pathogens entering the airways with each breath. However, this potentially hostile environment is known to serve as a portal of entry for herpesviruses.

Hydropathic evolution of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase glycoproteins of A(H1N1 and H3N2) viruses [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 More virulent strains of influenza virus subtypes H1N1 appeared in 2007 and H3N2 in 2011. The amino acid differences from prior less virulent strains appear to be small when tabulated through sequence alignments and counting site identities and similarities.

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...

In vitro synergy and enhanced murine brain penetration of saquinavir coadministered with mefloquine. [PDF]
, 2005 Highly active antiretroviral therapy has substantially improved prognosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the integration of proviral DNA, development of viral resistance, and lack of permeability of drugs into sanctuary sites (e.g ...

Hierarchical hydropathic evolution of influenza glycoproteins (N2, H3, A/H3N2) under relentless vaccination pressure [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) are highly variable envelope glycoproteins. Here hydropathic analysis, previously applied to quantify common flu (H1N1) evolution (1934-), is applied to the evolution of less common but more virulent (avian derived) H3N2 (1968-), beginning with N2.

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

The role of Nox1 and Nox2 in GPVI-dependent platelet activation and thrombus formation
Redox Biology, 2014 Background: Activation of the platelet-specific collagen receptor, glycoprotein (GP) VI, induces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production; however the relevance of ROS to GPVI-mediated platelet responses remains unclear.
