The role of aspartic acid in reducing coral calcification under ocean acidification conditions [PDF]
Biomolecules play key roles in regulating the precipitation of CaCO3 biominerals but their response to ocean acidification is poorly understood. We analysed the skeletal intracrystalline amino acids of massive, tropical Porites spp.

Electrostatically‐Stabilized PEG‐Free Lipid Nanoparticles for Systemic Nucleic Acid Delivery
This work describes non‐PEGylated layered lipid nanoparticles (nonPEG LLNPs), a gene delivery platform that improves upon standard PEGylated LNPs via electrostatic adsorption of charged polymers. nonPEG LLNPs maintain colloidal stability under biological stresses, enhance circulation time, and mitigate accelerated blood clearance and hepatic ...

surfactant-induced crystallisation of DI-aspartic acid [PDF]
Crystallisation of dl-aspartic acid beneath monolayers at the air-water interface was studied using seven different monolayer films namely stearic acid, methyl stearate, o-octadceyl carbonyl-l-tyrosine methyl ester hydrochloride, polycaprolactone, poly-1-

BIODEGRADABILITY AND TISSUE REACTION OF RANDOM COPOLYMERS OF L-LEUCINE, L-ASPARTIC ACID, AND L-ASPARTIC ACID-ESTERS [PDF]
A series of copoly(α-amino acids) with varying percentages of hydrophilic (l-aspartic acid) and hydrophobic monomers (l-leucine, ß-methyl-l-aspartate, and ß-benzyl-l-aspartate) were implanted subcutaneously in rats and the macroscopic degradation ...

A route to anionic hydrophilic films of copolymers of l-leucine, l-aspartic acid and l-aspartic acid esters [PDF]
A series of copolymers of l-leucine and β-benzyl-l-aspartate [Leu/Asp(OBz)] covering the range 30–70 mol % of l-leucine, was synthesized by the N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) method. The copolymers were characterized by elemental analysis, infra-red spectroscopy and viscometry.

Chemically Fueled Systems Chemistry Across Length Scales
Chemically fueled reaction cycles regulate processes through single and multiple catalytic sites on the molecular and assembly scale. This gives rise to unique kinetically controlled properties/functions like spatio‐temporal catalysis, oscillations, optical properties, and perform work.

Isolation of Aspartic Acid Using Novel Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-(l)-lysine) Cryogels [PDF]
In this study, we report on the synthesis of novel poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacryloyl-(l)-lysine) [poly(HEMA-MAL)] cryogels for the isolation of aspartic acid.

Encoded Cell‐Material Interactions to Reroute Cytokine Signaling for Regenerative Medicine
We present native MATRIX (Material Activated To Regulate Inducible gene eXpression), a co‐engineered material‐cell platform. Surfaces functionalized with antibodies for endogenous soluble ligands (e.g., IL‐1β or IL‐6) capture and immobilize ligands for presentation to a cognate, engineered synthetic Notch receptor, releasing a transcription factor (TF)
