Short‐term actions of epigalocatechin‐3‐gallate in the liver: a mechanistic insight into hypoglycemic and potential toxic effects

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG) acutely inhibited gluconeogenesis and enhanced glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and fatty acid oxidation in perfused rat livers. Mechanistic assays revealed mitochondrial uncoupling, inhibition of pyruvate carboxylation and glucose‐6‐phosphatase, shift of NADH/NAD+ ratios toward oxidation, and loss of membrane integrity ...

Kinetic analysis of proton translocation catalyzed by F₀F₁ ATPase [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1988
Kinetic analysis of both proton translocating and steady‐state ATP hydrolytic activities catalyzed by F0F1 ATPase in submitochondrial particles were carried out over an ATP concentration range of 1–2000 μM. The results were examined in relation to the prediction based on the alternate binding change model proposed by Gresser et al. [(1982) J.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Interactions Between Active Matters and Endogenous Fields

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes endogenous field information and computational methods in contexts such as cancer, wounds, and biofilms. It organizes NAMs and AAMs by sensing, transmitting, and executing functions, compares their limitations, and from these contrasts proposes design strategies for next‐generation AAMs, offering perspectives to foster ...

Conformation of a Peptide Encompassing the Proton Translocation Channel of Vacuolar H+-ATPase [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2007
The structural properties of a crucial transmembrane helix for proton translocation in vacuolar ATPase are studied using double site-directed spin-labeling combined with electron spin resonance (ESR) (or electron paramagnetic resonance) and circular dichroism spectroscopy in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

The Bionic Interface: Considering the Material Mediated Electrical Stimulation of Stem Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrical stimulation directs stem cell fate in tissue engineering. Cellular responses are influenced by membrane properties, intrinsic cell state, material charge‐transport characteristics, and the applied electrical signal. Additionally, a material’s ability to inject, store, and redistribute charge further modulates these responses.

Engineering Artificial Mitochondria with Self‐Amplifying Proton Generation for Autonomous Energy Supply and Metabolic Coupling in Artificial Cells

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A mitochondria‐mimicking ATP generator improves the enzyme instability of enzyme‐based artificial mitochondria and eliminates the toxicity of H2O2 via quantitative enzyme co‐compartmentalization. The resulting artificial mitochondria can establish a sustained proton gradient for ATP synthesis.

Breaking barriers: the cGAS‐STING pathway as a novel frontier in cancer immunotherapy

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Since its discovery, the cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS)‐stimulator of the interferon gene (STING) signaling pathway has been considered a pivotal component of innate immunity and a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. Beyond its canonical role in pathogen defense, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the cGAS‐STING pathway ...

Multiomics analyses reveal that PRMT5 regulates membrane transport and cholesterol synthesis in white adipocytes

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Prmt5AKO downregulates genes related to fatty acid transport and triacylglycerol synthesis, while upregulating genes involved in glucose transport and cholesterol biogenesis. These changes cause alternation in lipid composition and metabolic phenotypes of Prmt5AKO mice. Abstract The adipose tissue (AT) is a main regulator of systemic energy homeostasis,
