Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Constructing rapid water vapor transport channels within mixed matrix membranes based on two-dimensional mesoporous nanosheets

Communications Chemistry, 2022
Gas dehumidification with permeable membranes is typically a technique low in operating costs and environmental impact, making it preferable over condensation or adsorption methods, but membrane permeability and selectivity remain a trade-off.

A review of polymeric membranes and processes for potable water reuse.

Progress in polymer science, 2018
Conventional water resources in many regions are insufficient to meet the water needs of growing populations, thus reuse is gaining acceptance as a method of water supply augmentation.

Membrane tethering [PDF]

F1000Prime Reports, 2014
Membrane trafficking depends on transport vesicles and carriers docking and fusing with the target organelle for the delivery of cargo. Membrane tethers and small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) mediate the docking of transport vesicles/carriers to enhance the efficiency of the subsequent SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment ...

Membrane adhesion via competing receptor/ligand bonds

, 2006
The adhesion of biological membranes is controlled by various types of receptor and ligand molecules. In this letter, we present a statistical-mechanical model for membranes that interact via receptor/ligand bonds of two different lengths.

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Experimental Mixed-Gas Permeability, Sorption and Diffusion of CO2-CH4 Mixtures in 6FDA-mPDA Polyimide Membrane: Unveiling the Effect of Competitive Sorption on Permeability Selectivity

Membranes, 2019
The nonideal behavior of polymeric membranes during separation of gas mixtures can be quantified via the solution-diffusion theory from experimental mixed-gas solubility and permeability coefficients.

A paradoxical increase of force development in saphenous and tail arteries from heterozygous ANO1 knockout mice

Physiological Reports, 2020
A Ca2+‐activated Cl− channel protein, ANO1, is expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells where Cl− current is thought to potentiate contraction by contributing to membrane depolarization.

Nanoparticle-templated nanofiltration membranes for ultrahigh performance desalination

Nature Communications, 2018
Nanofiltration (NF) membranes with ultrahigh permeance and high rejection are highly beneficial for efficient desalination and wastewater treatment. Improving water permeance while maintaining the high rejection of state-of-the-art thin film composite ...
