Mining RNA Tertiary Motifs with Structure Graphs

, 2008
We present a novel application of graph database mining to identify tertiary motifs in RNA structures. In our method, we abstract an RNA molecule as a labeled graph and use a frequent subgraph mining technique to derive tertiary motifs.

Remote Activation of Wnt Signaling and Cell Proliferation by E‐Cadherin Magnetomechanical Stimulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A pioneering magnetogenetic toolkit enables non‐invasive, precise spatiotemporal modulation of intracellular Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs@E/EC15) target cellular E‐cadherins to generate localized magnetomechanical forces under low‐intensity magnetic fields.

Endosomal Escape of siRNA Polyplexes: A Molecular Dynamics Perspective on Underlying Mechanisms

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics simulations reveal distinct endosomal escape mechanisms of siRNA nanoparticles, ranging from electrostatic membrane attachment to hydrophobic membrane fusion. Hydrophobic residues and anionic endosomal lipids emerge as key determinants of membrane disruption, linking molecular interactions to experimental delivery performance and ...

RNA triplexes : from structural principles to biological and biotech applications

, 2014
The diverse biological functions of RNA are determined by the complex structures of RNA stabilized by both secondary and tertiary interactions. An RNA triplex is an important tertiary structure motif that is found in many pseudoknots and other structured

Poisson's Ratio‐Driven Control of Myogenic Differentiation and Maturation in Auxetic Metamaterials under Dynamic Mechanical Stimulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explored how innovative “auxetic” scaffolds, which expand when stretched, influence skeletal muscle development. Researchers cultured muscle cells on different scaffold designs and applied repeated stretching over 10 days. They found that scaffold geometry affected muscle cell differentiation and fiber formation.

Atom‐Efficient Cerium‐Based Molecular Cages as Biocompatible Reactive Oxygen Scavengers

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Discrete mixed‐valent cerium molecular cages organize accessible redox centers within confined coordination environments and scavenge superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals. Encapsulation of the lead cage in an ROS‐responsive DTP nanoplatform enables lesion‐associated delivery, attenuates macrophage oxidative stress and inflammation, and ...

Hybrid Biofabrication of a Hierarchically Organized Periosteum‐Inspired In Vitro Platform

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid biofabrication strategy integrates melt electrowriting with extrusion‐based 3D bioprinting to create a hierarchically organized periosteum‐inspired in vitro platform. Spatially defined osteogenic, fibrous, and endothelial cell‐containing compartments support long‐term culture, osteogenic maturation, and CD31+ endothelial cell organization ...

Artemisinin‐Loaded Core‐Shell Microspheres Modulate Histone Lactylation to Remodel the Microenvironment for Cartilage Protection in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ART@PLGA@GH‐A microspheres are developed via microfluidic technology for intra‐articular delivery of artemisinin. The system remodels rheumatoid arthritis microenvironments by regulating metabolic and inflammatory disorders, reducing lactate‐driven histone lactylation and cellular senescence, while restoring cartilage homeostasis and protecting joint ...
