The Structural Biology and Critical Evaluation of Bacterial Proteases as Targets in New Drug Design [PDF]
Bacteria produce a range of proteolytic enzymes, for which a number human equivalent or structurally similar examples exist and the primary focus of this study was to analyse the published literature to find proteolytic enzymes, specifically endoproteses and to examine the similarity in the substrates that they act on so as to predict a suitable ...

Spatially Controlled 3‐D Multiplexed Aptamer Patterning in Hydrogels
A hydrogel platform based on norbornene‐functionalized polyvinyl alcohol enables high‐resolution, 3‐D multiplexed patterning of DNA aptamers via two‐photon polymerization. Two distinct aptamers are covalently immobilized with single micron‐scale precision across the x, y, and z dimensions.

Tuning the Morphological Properties of Granular Hydrogels to Control Lymphatic Capillary Formation
Tuning the morphological properties of granular hydrogels is essential to generate robust lymphatic capillary networks that express key lymphatic gene and protein markers. The study demonstrates that 3D in vitro lymphatic tube formation is controlled not by the mechanical properties of the gel, but by the pore size and topology (periodicity) of the gel

A hydroxamic acid-methacrylated collagen conjugate for the modulation of inflammation-related MMP upregulation [PDF]
Medical devices with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) modulating functionality are highly desirable to restore tissue homeostasis in critical inflammation states, such as chronic wounds, rotator cuff tears and cancer. The introduction of MMP-modulating functionality in such devices is typically achieved via loading of either rapidly-diffusing chelating ...

Matrix Metalloproteinase-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade and modify the extracellular matrix (ECM) as well as cell-ECM and cell-cell contacts, facilitating detachment of epithelial cells from the surrounding tissue.
