Design and Synthesis of Peptide‐Polyester Conjugates for Cell‐Mediated Scaffold Degradation
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work describes polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based biomaterials engineered to degrade in response to cell‐secreted proteases. A fast‐degrading peptide (Fast) sequence is integrated into a PCL conjugate backbone to produce a biomaterial that is selectively degraded by multiple cell types compared to its scrambled control (ScrFast).

Limitations of MALDI-TOF MS in the fungal identification: could LC-MS/MS be a solution? [PDF]
, 2016 Fungal polyphasic identification aims the integration of different taxonomic characters. By using numerous techniques, it is assumed the level of variation in the technique can be reduced, although variation in the fungal specimen remains.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Highly efficient heavy‐atom‐free NIR photosensitizers based on a heptamethine cyanine platform were developed for image‐guided photodynamic therapy. Both in vitro and in vivo results revealed that the R820‐3 photosensitizer with a highly twisted molecular structure exhibited potential for NIR fluorescence image‐guided photodynamic cancer therapy ...
