An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Glycan‐Mediated Grafting of Extracellular Matrix Proteins for Stable Biofunctionalization of Polystyrene Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
We present a glycan‐mediated strategy for covalent grafting of extracellular matrix proteins onto polystyrene surfaces. This approach preserves protein bioactivity and enhances cell adhesion and viability. Using fibronectin and vitronectin, we demonstrate stable immobilization via glycosylation sites, offering a promising route for advanced ...
