Human Galectins Induce Conversion of Dermal Fibroblasts into Myofibroblasts and Production of Extracellular Matrix: Potential Application in Tissue Engineering and Wound Repair [PDF]
, 2011 Members of the galectin family of endogenous lectins are potent adhesion/growth-regulatory effectors. Their multi-functionality opens possibilities for their use in bioapplications. We studied whether human galectins induce the conversion of human dermal

High‐Performance Bio‐Glue From the Berries of a Parasitic Plant
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We report a fully bio‐based adhesive derived primarily from a (poly)saccharide extract obtained from the berries of the hemi‐parasitic plant mistletoe (Viscum album), supplemented with tannic and malic acid without any further chemical functionalization.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presents the first demonstration of stable sub‐50‐micron single‐cell GPM vesicles fabricated through the intrinsic self‐assembly of an amphiphilic copolymer. Hierarchical assembly of cell containing GPM vesicles into microspheres enable tunable, sustained cell delivery with immune protection.

Visualizing the dental biofilm matrix by means of fluorescence lectin-binding analysis
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017 The extracellular matrix is a poorly studied, yet important component of dental biofilms. Fluorescence lectin-binding analysis (FLBA) is a powerful tool to characterize glycoconjugates in the biofilm matrix. This study aimed to systematically investigate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work establishes a novel method for generating multicellular liver organoids from control and MASH donor iPSCs. The model recapitulates several disease‐specific characteristics, with MASH donor‐derived organoids showing higher susceptibility. Lipidomic profiling of MASH organoids closely resembles MASH liver biopsies.

IDENTIFICATION OF LECTINS OF ZEA MAYS RAW MATERIAL AND THE STUDY OF LECTIN ACTIVITY [PDF]
Annals of Mechnikov's Institute, 2013 The aime of the study was to identify lectins in the Zea mays raw material: roots, stems, heads, leaves and corn silk and study their activity. Lectins activity has been studied using the biological method of ratuserytroagglutination.

Snake venom C-type lectins as tools in platelet research
, 1998 The snake C-type lectins are a major group of proteins present in venoms that fold to a structure with similarities to classic C-type lectins. The loop that would be involved in calcium and sugar binding is truncated and heterodimers are linked by a ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A minimally invasive optical window enables stable, long‐term imaging of peripheral nerves in vivo at single‐axon resolution. Dynamic processes of degeneration, regeneration, and cellular remodeling are visualized across multiple time scales within the same nerve region, providing a unique platform to study a variety of anatomical and molecular events ...

A Synthetic β‐Mannan Epitope Enables Immunization and Detection of Candida auris
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A synthetic β‐mannan epitope enables both active and passive immunization against Candida auris. Conjugation to the carrier protein CRM197 induces protective antibody responses, while monoclonal antibodies targeting the same epitope support detection using a lateral flow assay, linking glycochemistry with antifungal prevention and diagnostics ...
