Recent advances of nanomaterials in imaging liver fibrosis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic summary on the latest strategies of liver fibrosis imaging based on various nanomaterials. Abstract Liver fibrosis is a pathological process resulting from prolonged exposure to various injury factors. It is characterized by the abnormal proliferation and activation of hepatic stellate cells and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix ...

Renal Arterial Anatomy: Implications for Normothermic Machine Perfusion in Renal Transplantation

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a novel technology that has shown potential in viability assessment and reconditioning of donor organs. Normothermic machine perfusion is technically more challenging in kidneys with multiple renal arteries (RAs).

Exploiting SpyTag/SpyCatcher Technology to Design New Artificial Catalytic Copper Proteins

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Designing artificial metal sites in proteins is challenging due to the need to place the metal site in precise positions and to tailor the coordination environment of the metal. A modular approach based on the SpyTag/SpyCatcher technology is used to provide the Spy construct with a Cu2+/ATCUN site.

Dynamic Morphological Transformation and Self‐Assembly of DNA‐Functionalized Cellulose Nanocrystal Building Blocks

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.
We present a simple strategy for dynamic rod‐to‐sphere‐to‐rod morphological transformation and DNA‐mediated self‐assembly of cellulose nanocrystal building blocks into slab‐like architectures in colloidal states. Our approach opens a sustainable, scalable pathway toward biocompatible self‐assembly architectures that may address critical challenges in ...

Pushing Poly(Limonene Carbonate) Toward Commercial Applications: Bio‐Based Poly(Menth‐1‐Ene Carbonate)‐Graft‐Poly(n‐Butyl Acrylate) With Tailored Graft Density

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, EarlyView.
The brittleness of PLimC, which is made from limonene oxide and CO2 remains a challenge for applications. The terpolymerization of trans‐limonene oxide (LimO), trans‐menth‐1‐ene oxide (Men1O), and CO2 was shown to yield a platform for tailored graft copolymerization and was transformed into a macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization ...
