Fluorescent Nanosensor for Indole‐3‐Propionic Acid Detection in Gut Health Monitoring

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a fluorescent nanosensor system with two optical modalities for detection of indole‐3‐propionic acid (IPA) gut metabolite: (1) blue‐emitting cationic conjugated polyelectrolyte (CP3) and (2) near‐infrared (NIR)‐emitting CP3‐wrapped single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT).

Comparative functional genomics of the acarbose producers reveals potential targets for metabolic engineering

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2019
The α-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose is produced in large-scale by strains derived from Actinoplanes sp. SE50 and used widely for the treatment of type-2 diabetes. Compared with the wild-type SE50, a high-yield derivative Actinoplanes sp.

Coacervates Made of Elastin‐Like Polypeptides Fused with Melanocyte‐Stimulating Hormone and Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein Enhance Skin Wound Healing in Spinal Cord‐Injured Mice

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Pressure skin wounds are frequent complications after spinal cord injury (SCI), with impaired healing due to vascular and immune deficits. Elastin‐like polypeptides (ELP) fused to α‐MSH (MSH‐ELP) or MCP‐1 (MCP‐ELP) are developed and tested on these wounds. The resulting nanoparticles are non‐toxic and bioactive, and they enhance macrophage recruitment,
