Flavin Catalysts in Organic Synthesis
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Flavins and their congeners are potent catalysts for organic synthesis inspired by enzymatic transformations. In addition to catalysis in the flavin ground state via covalent intermediates, the excited singlet and triplet states unlock applications including photooxidation, photoreduction, and energy transfer via sensitization.

Isolation and Properties of a Human Retinol-transporting Protein
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1971 A human retinol-transporting protein has been isolated from the urine of patients with tubular proteinuria. The protein separated into four fractions in the last two purification steps (sulfoethyl Sephadex chromatography and DEAE-Sephadex chromatography). The yield of purified retinol-binding protein (RBP) was 33 to 41% of the amount in concentrates of

Exome analysis identified a novel mutation in the RBP4 gene in a consanguineous pedigree with retinal dystrophy and developmental abnormalities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a common form of retinal degeneration characterized by photoreceptor degeneration and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy causing loss of visual field and acuities.

A Narrative Review of the Role of Transthyretin in Health and Disease
Neurology and Therapy, 2020 Transthyretin (TTR) is a tetrameric transport protein highly conserved through vertebrate evolution and synthesized in the liver, choroid plexus, and retinal pigment epithelium. TTR transports the thyroid hormone thyroxine and the retinol-binding protein

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Controlling the protein corona formation onto carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) enhances their functionalities as platforms for cancer theranostics. Here, we reviewed the effects of the intrinsic and acquired properties of CNMs on protein corona formation, the consequent biological and toxicological outcomes, and the strategies to reshape corona formation ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We developed the ASCAL pipeline, integrating complementary spatial transcriptomics, to construct a high‐fidelity mouse whole‐eye single‐cell atlas. Applying ASCAL to a retinal artery occlusion (RAO) model revealed spatially restricted immune activation localized to the ganglion cell layer and the selective depletion of a translationally active, outer ...
