Engineered B7‐H3 Binding in Modular Gp2 Miniproteins

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT B7‐H3, an important immune checkpoint modulator of T‐cell function, is a tumor vasculature biomarker and is overexpressed in a variety of cancers. Its expression is associated with tumor growth, metastasis, and poor clinical prognosis, which makes B7‐H3 an appealing target for diagnostics and therapeutics.

De Novo Design of Multivalent α/β‐Peptides Mimicking Transcription Factors Targeting the CBP KIX Domain

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A modular, de novo α/β‐peptide design strategy allows fine‐tuning of ligand properties, resulting in multivalent ligands that simultaneously target separate binding sites on the protein surface. ABSTRACT Protein‐protein interactions that regulate gene expression in the nucleus are increasingly recognized as potential therapeutic targets but present ...

Antibacterial Hydrogel Dressing With Ca2+‐Dependent Hyaluronidase Responsiveness for Accelerating Wound Healing via On‐Demand Release of AIE Photosensitizers

Exploration, EarlyView.
This study innovates a Ca2+‐responsive hydrogel dressing that releases AIE photosensitizers on‐demand. Low Ca2+ enhances bacterial hyaluronidase (HAase) activity, degrading hyaluronic acid dressing to trigger antibacterial ROS release, while high Ca2+ inhibits HAase, preventing overdosing.

Integrative host–microbiome modeling uncovers the implication of oral–gut translocation in advanced cirrhosis

iMeta, EarlyView.
Liver cirrhosis is associated with profound disruption of host–microbiome metabolic interactions. Using paired oral and fecal metagenomics combined with genome‐scale metabolic modeling, we investigated how microbial translocation along the oral–gut axis influences microbial metabolism at different cirrhosis severities.
