Lectin Engineering, a Molecular Evolutionary Approach to Expanding the Lectin Utilities
Molecules, 2015 In the post genomic era, glycomics—the systematic study of all glycan structures of a given cell or organism—has emerged as an indispensable technology in various fields of biology and medicine.

SARS-CoV-2 mortality in blacks and temperature-sensitivity to an angiotensin-2 receptor blocker [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Tropical climates provoke adaptations in skin pigmentation and in mechanisms controlling the volume, salt-content and pressure of body fluids. For many whose distant ancestors moved to temperate climes, these adaptations proved harmful: pigmentation decreased by natural selection and susceptibility to hypertension emerged.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.LincNEAT1 Encoded‐NEAT1‐31 micropeptide directly binds with Aurora‐A and enhanced AKT pathways to pormotes phagocytosis against multi cancer cells. Abstract Macrophages play vital roles in innate and adaptive immunity, and their essential functions are mediated by phagocytosis and antigen presentation.

Plant coexistence mediated by adaptive foraging preferences of exploiters or mutualists [PDF]
, 2019 Coexistence of plants depends on their competition for common resources and indirect interactions mediated by shared exploiters or mutualists. These interactions are driven either by changes in animal abundance (density-mediated interactions, e.g., apparent competition), or by changes in animal preferences for plants (behaviorally-mediated interactions)

Sugar Functionalized Collagen Material for Local Modulation of Innate Immunity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.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

Modeling competitive interactions and plant-soil feedback in vegetation dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Plant-soil feedback is recognized as a causal mechanism for the emergence of vegetation patterns of the same species especially when water is not a limiting resource (e.g. humid environments). Nevertheless, in the field, plants rarely grow in monoculture but compete with other plant species.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A hollow nanomotor (PM‐HMSN/Arg) propelled by ultrasound‐triggered nitric oxide (NO) was developed. The nanomotor employs a “tethering‐relaxing‐drilling” mechanism to overcome biological barriers, enabling multimodal theranostics of cancer with deep penetration and extended lifetime.

Plant Phenolics and Lectins as Vaccine Adjuvants
Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2019 Background: The immune system is responsible for providing protection to the body against foreign substances. The immune system divides into two types of immune responses to study its mechanisms of protection: 1) Innate and 2) Adaptive. The innate immune response represents the first protective barrier of the organism that also works as a regulator of

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The Semaphorin 3E (Sema3E)‐Plexin‐D1 pathway mediated by C/EBPα and C/EBPβ downstream of the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge plays important roles in the mouse preovulatory ovary. Timely activation and suppression of this pathway during the preovulatory stage are crucial for ovulation, corpus luteum formation, and proper angiogenesis.
