Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

ANALYSIS OF CELLULAR SENTINELS FOR EXTRACELLULAR HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN-PEPTIDE COMPLEXES [PDF]

, 2013
Since the discovery of gp96 in the 1980’s as a “tumor rejection antigen,” Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) have received attention from immunologists for their ability to prime immune responses.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Heat shock protein-90-alpha, a prolactin-STAT5 target gene identified in breast cancer cells, is involved in apoptosis regulation [PDF]

, 2008
Introduction The prolactin-Janus-kinase-2-signal transducer and activator of transcription-5 (JAK2-STAT5) pathway is essential for the development and functional differentiation of the mammary gland.

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

Heat Shock Protein 27 Associates with Basolateral Cell Boundaries in Heat-Shocked and ATP-Depleted Epithelial Cells [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2002
Heat stress alters epithelial barrier function, and heat stress preconditioning protects epithelial function from injury. Hsp27 is a small stress protein that has previously been shown to modulate actin assembly. Thus, by regulating actin filaments associated with cell junctions, hsp27 could alter epithelial function.

Nitride MXenes Beyond Carbides: Bridging the Gap Between Computational Prediction and Experimental Realization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nitride MXenes remain constrained by a persistent gap between computational prediction and experimental realization. This Review identifies the thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical barriers limiting their synthesis, critically evaluates emerging fabrication routes, and proposes a multidimensional computational‐experimental framework to accelerate the ...

Extracellular Release and Signaling by Heat Shock Protein 27: Role in Modifying Vascular Inflammation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is traditionally viewed as an intra-cellular chaperone protein with anti-apoptotic properties. However, recent data indicate that a number of heat shock proteins, including HSP27, are also found in the extra-cellular space ...

In Silico Screening Studies on Methanesulfonamide Derivatives as Dual Hsp27 and Tubulin Inhibitors Using QSAR and Molecular Docking [PDF]

Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2018
The expression of heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) as a chaperone protein, is increased in response to various stress stimuli such as anticancer chemotherapy. This phenomenon can lead to survive of the cells and causes drug resistance.
