Schematic illustration of the mechanism of targeted delivery of nanoparticles including 1) paracellular, 2) endolysosomal escape, 3) receptor mediated endocytosis, and 4) M cell mediated transport for non‐GI diseases by oral administration such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and brain diseases. Abstract Oral drug delivery is a promising approach

A Keratin Peptide Inhibits Mannose-Binding Lectin [PDF]
Abstract Complement plays a significant role in mediating endothelial injury following oxidative stress. We have previously demonstrated that the lectin complement pathway (LCP), which is initiated by deposition of the mannose-binding lectin (MBL), is largely responsible for activating complement on endothelial cells following periods of

Lipid Nanoparticle‐Mediated CRISPR‐Cas13a Delivery for the Control of Bacterial Infection
New formulations of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that can deliver nucleic acids to Gram‐negative bacteria are proposed to combat bacterial infection. The delivery of nucleic acids by LNPs is aided by LNP‐helpers which weaken the bacterial outer membrane. LNPs encapsulating the Cas13a/gRNA expression vector achieve an antibacterial effect in both in vivo ...

Microbiome Single Cell Atlases Generated with a Commercial Instrument
Single cell sequencing is valuable for dissecting complex systems and uncovering unique features in individual cell types. However, tools for single cell microbial analysis are limited. Easily Accessible Single microbe sequencing (EASi‐seq), which adapts a commercially available single cell platform for efficient sequencing of single microbial genomes ...

Sugar Functionalized Collagen Material for Local Modulation of Innate Immunity
Modulation of the innate immune response at the implant site can significantly influence adaptive immunity. A mannose‐functionalized collagen patch, termed the Local Immunotuning Patch (LIP), has been designed to engage mannose receptors on antigen‐presenting cells while exhibiting antibacterial properties. LIP orchestrates complex immune pathways that

A novel mechanism for binding of galactose-terminated glycans by the C-type carbohydrate recognition domain in blood dendritic cell antigen 2 [PDF]
Blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA-2; also designated CLEC4C or CD303) is uniquely expressed on plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Stimulation of BDCA-2 with antibodies leads to an anti-inflammatory response in these cells, but the natural ligands for the ...

Background: The exact staphylococcal antigenic determinants of anti-staphylococcal IgG and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) have not been determined. Results: The antigenic epitopes of the staphylococcal wall teichoic acid (WTA) for serum IgG and MBL are O-N-

Upregulated glycosyltransferase GALNT9 in neuroendocrine (NE) carcinomas increases O‐GalNAc glycosylation on cell membrane proteins, particularly Annexin‐A2 (ANXA2). Elevated O‐GalNAc glycan induces the binding of NE cancer cells to mannose binding lectin 2 (MBL2), activating the MBL‐MBL associated serine protease (MBL‐MASP) complement pathway in the ...

Towards defining the role of glycans as hardware in information storage and transfer: Basic principles, experimental approaches and recent progress [PDF]
The term `code' in biological information transfer appears to be tightly and hitherto exclusively connected with the genetic code based on nucleotides and translated into functional activities via proteins.
