SARS-CoV-2 entry and fusion are independent of ACE2 localization to lipid rafts
Journal of VirologyMembrane fusion occurs at the early stages of SARS-CoV-2 replication, during entry of the virus, and later during the formation of multinucleated cells called syncytia.

Supercritical Angle Fluorescence and Raman Techniques in Biophotonics
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Supercritical angle fluorescence (SAF) microscopy and supercritical angle Raman (SAR) spectroscopy have emerged as powerful tools in the field of biophotonics, enabling high‐resolution imaging and spectroscopy of biological specimens near interfaces. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, techniques, applications, and ...

MicroorganismsTrypanosoma brucei causes African trypanosomiasis in humans. Infection with T. brucei elicits a potent pro-inflammatory immune response within infected human hosts, and this response is thought to at least be partially due to Toll-like receptor (TLR ...

Bio‐Inspired, Zwitterionic Copolymers with Amphiphilic Character
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Zwitterionic copolymers based on arginine‐derived monomers are produced by xanthate‐supported photo‐iniferter reversible‐addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer polymerization. Experiments in relevant conditions show that the designed (co)polymers hardly interact with biologically relevant proteins and enzymes such as bovine serum albumine (BSA), fetal ...

PLoS ONE, 2015 Several pathogens have been described to enter host cells via cholesterol-enriched membrane lipid raft microdomains. We found that disruption of lipid rafts by the cholesterol-extracting agent methyl-β-cyclodextrin or by the cholesterol-binding ...

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Diacetylene‐containing glycan mimetics cluster upon selective lectin binding in GUVs. Subsequent irradiation leads to the formation of fluorescent polymer clusters, while non‐clustered glycan mimetics remain unaffected in the membrane. ABSTRACT The glycocalyx, a dense layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids on eukaryotic cells, is essential for cellular

International Journal of Secondary MetaboliteThe purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lipid raft function loss due to depletion of cholesterol in the lipid raft structure of cell membrane by crocetin and Methyl β cyclodextrin (MβCD) on cell viability and lipid raft-associated gene ...

Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptidomimetics
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Singular macromolecular cationic, amphipathic cyclic peptidomimetics with poly(2‐oxazoline)s‐esque backbone structure that undergo self‐assembly in water to form uniform nanoparticles were developed. The cyclic peptidomimetics, which act on bacterial cell membranes, exhibit hydrophobic‐dependent antimicrobial activity and toxicity.

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Nile Red‐loaded poly(solketal acrylate) nanoparticles enable fluorescence tracking and exhibit nontoxic profiles in retinal cells. Enhanced cellular uptake and deep retinal penetration after intravitreal injection highlight their excellent potential for targeted ocular drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye.
